Cost: If an association is not being managed
appropriately there are significant costs as a result; both
short and long term. We are professionals dedicated to the
management of condominium associations using proven strategies
that produce measurable results. We are typically able to "pay
for ourselves" by reducing monthly expenses and implementing
maintenance plans and other strategies to minimize longer term
costs.
Time: Managing an association the right way takes dozens
of hours each and every month - we give our undivided attention
to managing your association properly, thereby taking the burden
off the board members & owners. What could you do with the extra
free time?
Connections: As an industry leading management firm we
maintain partnerships with all of the key service providers your
association will ever need. Due to our high volume we have
negotiated below-market pricing with each to offer our clients
access to a pool of low-cost resources unmatched in the
industry.
Mediation: We will facilitate communication amongst
owners, as well as provide neutral advice based on the good of
the association as a whole.
We previously evaluated management offerings and found the prices
far too expensive for a building of our size. How can we afford you?
Connected is different! We designed our management package to meet
the needs of small to mid-sized associations which means you are
only paying for the resources that a building of your size needs. We
are able to offer the lowest pricing in the market and will beat any
management firm’s price. Associations now have a powerful and cost
effective solution to meet their exact needs.
Can you help us plan for the future?
Of course. Outside of handling all of the day-to-day tasks
such as managing your monthly finances and initiating repairs,
we also work with each of our clients on longer term initiatives
such as building a financially sound budget, initiating a
reserve strategy and designing an annual maintenance plan. We
know what it takes to run your association the right way and
will help you each step of the way.
We have a local handyman that knows our building and gives us an
incredible price; we don’t want to lose him!
Great! We don’t want you to lose him either. We are happy to
continue using any service provider that you would like, and we
will never force you to use one of our own contractors.
Our building is brand new, why would we need a management
company?
New buildings have just as many, if not more, problems than
older buildings. We will assist your association in working out
any kinks, and in preparing for the future. Preventive
maintenance and planning for your financial future are essential
to any condo association, no matter how old it is!
Some of the owners are against the hiring of a management firm.
What do you suggest?
In our experience there are almost always one or more owners
that would prefer to avoid the cost of management services and
remain a self-managed association. Interestingly, we typically
find that such owners play little or no part in the actual
management of the association. It is the board members that are
spending their free time performing these tasks that would gain
the most relief by partnering with our team of experts. The
owners performing the least amount of work are typically most
adamant about keeping the work in-house.
