Cost Analysis

By now you probably know that Community Association Management is different than other management companies in our approach to service. So the next logical question, how do we compare on cost? We’re glad you asked.

Unlike our competitors, we do not inflate our invoices with additional monthly fees. We believe this type of compensation breeds mistrust between the board and the management company. Quite frankly, we don’t know anyone who enjoys surprises on their monthly invoices.
