     Editor’s Note: The May FLCAJ magazine is the Management Company Special Issue. The management company profiles below are a great introduction to several management companies that would love an opportunity to lead your community with excellence.


Allied Property Group

     Allied Property Group is a full-service property management firm providing service throughout Florida since 2003. 

     Allied excels in assisting boards of directors in addressing all of their short- and long-term challenges. These challenges include both routine matters and the unexpected. Routine challenges can include controlling expenditures, optimizing budgets, and increasing property values all while enhancing the community experience. Unexpected challenges can range from hurricane preparedness and recovery to emergencies that can have an adverse impact on the association’s or unit owner’s property. 

     While most large management companies struggle with their ability to make important decisions that could negatively impact associations, at Allied our experienced and empowered staff routinely assist associations in facing and conquering these challenges. 

     The Allied team consists of licensed managers with extensive industry experience, a dedicated team of property accountants, a well-trained and friendly customer service staff, and technology offerings that help both our team and the associations we serve to succeed. Our team closely guides and assists the boards we serve to ensure efficient, productive meetings while providing comprehensive and easy-to-understand financial and management reports. 

     Working together with our customers, Allied has the tools and experience needed to assist boards in making the decisions that best serve their associations. At Allied, our continued success can easily be attributed to our integrity and constant customer obsession that we take into consideration in everything we do.

Choice Property Management Group Inc. 

     Serving throughout the tri-county area of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties, CPMG has been proudly representing community associations since 2007. Our ability to adapt to each association’s immediate and long-term needs and our genuine desire to help our communities thrive have set us apart from the rest. Our extensively trained customer service agents are always available to assist our homeowners, vendors, and board members with honest, professional, and always-reliable services. Our staff is equipped with the necessary technological equipment to ensure they are providing the highest quality of customer service available. From software that ensures all reported issues are carefully documented and followed through on to policies and procedures that ensure smooth operations, our boards can rest assured that our managers are working in the best interests of their associations. 

      At CPMG, our founders are also experienced LCAMs and therefore understand that it takes a team to effectively manage a community association properly. When you join our firm, you are not just getting an LCAM assigned to your community. You are gaining a team of experienced individuals who are excited to see your community prosper, while also ensuring that you are following the Florida statutes. Often we find communities are dissatisfied with their management firms because the LCAM is unresponsive, overstressed, and overworked. We provide the staff to ensure that our LCAMs can concentrate on the important things while others help with the rest. 

      We would like to extend our immense gratitude to all of our wonderful communities, boards, and homeowners who continue to show us their unwavering support. It is thanks to them that CPMG has grown into the trusted firm it is today, and why we have the convenience of picking and choosing to work only with honest and transparent communities.

      Top Tip—Don’t invest your association’s hard-earned money in an inexperienced CAM. An education through a school of hard knocks can become costly to you and your association. Experience is therefore not an option but a necessity.

      Now celebrating 25 years of commitment to providing the best in association management to Florida communities, Leland Management is proud to be a leader in its industry. We are a full-service association management firm specializing in the management of Florida condominium and homeowner associations. With 12 offices statewide, we currently manage more than 400 associations exclusively in the state of Florida. 

      Our team of professionals takes great pride in delivering the best-quality service to the communities we serve. We have over 100 licensed community association managers who average more than seven years of experience, with many carrying advanced professional designations. To bring it all together, we have honed an effective system for sharing this expertise both within the company and in our communities. 

      Our superior accounting strategies, dedication to lifestyle, and always-local resident support call center are just a few of the standards you can expect from a partnership with Leland, but we don’t just talk the talk. Evidence of Leland’s walk can be seen in consistently earning the titles of the Orlando Sentinel’s Top Workplaces of Central Florida and the Orlando Business Journal’s Best Place to Work, both of which are thanks to the recognition from our own team members, which we are humbled to receive year after year. We are also honored to be named a Florida Community Association Journal’s Readers’ Choice Diamond Level Management Company, an accolade directly from the voices of our clients and other industry professionals.

     Although we are large enough to have all the resources necessary to meet the needs of any association, Leland remains a local, family-owned and -managed firm to better meet the individual needs of each community. We’ve learned over our 25 years in business that building solid, lasting relationships is of utmost importance to delivering the best quality of service and continued success of our company. 

Top Tip—Hiring vendors with a good reputation, although they may cost more, may cost your association less in the long run. Reputable vendors do the job right the first time. Cheaper vendors may end up costing you more by not doing a good job and costing additional to correct what they didn’t do right initially. Vet vendors carefully to avoid unforeseen costs down the line.
