Why Are Our Management Services Considered the Best?
Value and Harmony
We deliver on the two primary priorities every owner has: Raise the value of their property and maintain harmony in the community.
Owners may not all agree on everything, but they do agree increasing property values and maintaining harmony in the community are the top priorities. Everything we do is geared to contributing to these two important outcomes.
A well-run association enhances a property's market value while a poorly managed one will erode value,

All of our property managers are trained and experienced in every dimension of management: maintenance, financial, governance, and project management. All are enrolled in continuing education programs with the Community Association Institute, and we are standing members of The National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM®) and the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM).
Can you help us with long term planning, especially reserve planning?
Absolutely. We can produce a comprehensive assessment of the association's infrastructure, estimate the future cost of materials and labor (using national and local costing information), examine the association's reserves and reserve contribution plan, and, produce a series of scenarios to help associations optimally manage capital reserve contributions. We'll even present and explain our findings and recommendations to the owners.
How many properties does a Property Manager manage?
It varies based on the scope of service each association has selected, the size, age, and composition of the property, and how much support the board needs from their PM. We will never "overload" a PM, ever.. Why? Because our overarching goal is to achieve an exceptional rating from you. We won't earn that rating unless we are servicing you promptly and efficiently.
Can I expect your Property Managers to know and advise us on our declarations/covenants, bylaws, rul
Yes. Your Property Manger is well versed in the association's governing documents, as well as the Maine Condominium Statutes and the Non-profit Corporate Act. Backing up your PM is our legal advisors who are on retainer to us and available also to our clients. Not only are then steeped in the law, they actually helped the legislature write the laws.
Do your Managers get involved with enforcing the association's rules and regulations?
Yes. Not only do we enforce rules and regulations, we advise boards on how to define rules and regulations that work..
How quickly can you begin managing our association?
Our on-boarding process is carefully planned and managed from start to finish. Whether you are transitioning from another property management firm (and we know them all), or from being self-managed, we can have you up and running in four to six weeks
Can you help us transition from our developer?
Yes, we have helped several associations transition from their developer (also known as the 'Declarant') to an association that is organized and governed by the association. We're happy to discuss what we do and how we do it with you.
