Feb. 7, 2006 - Who's Looking Out For You?

When it comes to condominium living there's nothing to it right? Make sure the mortgage and the assessments are paid on time and that's the end of that. No more grass to cut or snow to shovel, the trash will magically disappear when you drop it down the chute and the common areas remain clean and updated all by themselves. Even if you have a problem, chances are you will bump into a board member you can dump it on. They don't mind, they asked for the job.

I suppose that in a well run condominum this would all appear to be true. A good Board of Directors is an important asset, but in order for them to look good they need the support and the input of an even better Management Company. A good management company knows the Illinois Condominium Property Act by heart. They have read and read again the Declaration and Bylaws that govern your association. They can quote your Rules and Regulations chapter and verse. They stay accessable. From experience, they can anticipate your every need before you even know you have one.

Having had to deal with many different management companies in the course of my real estate career, I can safely say I know a good one when I see one. Who might that be, you ask. That would be Summit Management Specialists, Inc.

Check them out and tell them Gene sent you.
