​Property Managers for a condo association work to bridge the gap between the association and the outside world. Property Managers also communicate with the condo association unit owners and board members about finding venders, reviewing contracts, inspecting maintenance contract work and compliance. Also, Property Managers take over all administrative duties of the condo association, which can include mailers and paying utility bills. Lastly, Property Managers always remain in service to the condo association board, and attend all board meetings and writes up status reports for the condo association records.

Most associations are run by board members who are unit owners. Therefore, their background is usually not in property management. A Property Manager can help the board make informed decisions for the association to help solve all current and future problems. This allows the board the freedom to focus on the problems at hand without bogging them down with legalities and protocol of legal documents that most board members don’t have time to familiarize themselves with. Property Managers also allow for one location for all of the buildings records, files, and documents for ultimate efficiency and organization.
