I bought into a new building of 40 units and moved into one of the last handful of units to be sold. The initial group of owners wanted to try handling everything ourselves....
Long story short we ended up having half of our owners severely behind in their monthly dues, no money, and a lot of fighting. We finally interviewed 4 different management companies and for us Connected Managers were by far the most advanced company and actually ended up being the lowest cost of all 4. We talked to a lot of people ahead of time and they have been around for a long time and have a very good reputation. We were very concerned about a company having full access to our funds and also wanted to make sure that the company we chose would not go out of business. CM had the best overall feedback and they have ended up living up to their reputation.
I am writing this as a thank you for all of their hard work over the past year. They came in and advised us on what to do, took over everything and got our finances in order and collected all of the past due money. If you are having any issues with your HOA I would definitely talk to them to see if they can help. It has been well worth it and saved us.
Pros: Very knowledgable, Very fast, Lowest price we could find
Cons: Nothing to really complain about
