     Founded in 1953, Campbell Property Management is South Florida’s highest-rated community association management company and one of the largest and most experienced, locally owned property management companies in South Florida. With seven fully staffed offices and more than 800 full-time employees, Campbell serves more than 400 associations in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, and Port St. Lucie counties. Their management services include administration, finances, accounting, maintenance and janitorial, valet and concierge, social director, gate access, human resources development, community websites, information technology, and landscape maintenance. 

     Although very similar in purpose, every board has its own unique goals and objectives, so there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Campbell’s experienced team invests the time and energy necessary to truly understand the needs of the community and board. They pride themselves on being responsive and providing customized solutions for their clients. They make a promise to the boards they serve: that Campbell will help them accomplish their goals and achieve the peace of mind they are seeking. Campbell guarantees satisfaction by giving their clients the right to cancel for any reason, at any time. The associations they serve have rewarded their performance with long-standing relationships, which have been proven by their market-leading 98 percent renewal rate.

Forge Engineering Inc.

Diamond Level Winner—Construction and Engineering
(Winner 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016 & 2015)

     For 25 years Forge Engineering has literally built the foundation of South Florida. A multi-disciplined engineering firm whose expertise has touched many of the major construction projects in the area, Forge Engineering itself is constructed upon rock-solid principles of ensuring clients’ requirements are resolved efficiently by assessing needs and providing meaningful answers. 

     “We don’t turn anyone away. Our company culture is to offer solid advice and help clients take care of their assets, spend their dollars wisely, and minimize wasteful expenditures due to a lack of maintenance,” says Matt H. Nolton, CEO & Senior Principal Engineer. 

     Forge Engineering offers expertise in many forensic-related categories associations would call upon regularly, such as roof consultation, reserve or turnover studies, waterproofing consultation, concrete restoration, water intrusion investigations, painting and sealant projects, window and door replacement, and building envelope evaluation. Our forensics team is often called upon as expert witnesses in court cases dealing with construction defects or insurance claims. Where other companies might assess an issue and offer “their” way of resolving it, Forge consultants consider all parameters relevant to the client. 

     Yet, as instrumental as Forge Engineering has been in the construction, development, and maintenance of South Florida’s buildings, they’ve also been community builders. Every employee is in some way involved with charity or civic groups, such as Rotary and Habitat for Humanity. “We contribute, get involved, and make our community a better place for everyone,” says Mr. Nolton, who adds that work-life balance for all employees is key. “We take care of our customers, but we have a big emphasis on family. Everyone knows everyone and cares. It’s truly a team, and we take that responsibility seriously.”

J.R. Frazer Inc. 

Platinum Level Winner—Financial
(Winner 2021, 2020, 2019 & 2018)

     J. R. Frazer Inc. specializes in providing quality reserve studies and property and flood cost valuations for condominiums and HOA communities throughout the southeast and central Florida areas. 

     We feel our reserve studies provide a good roadmap for associations to help manage their short and long-term assets that need replacement. With more than 27 years of experience in the industry, we have found that reserve studies are helpful not only in planning current budget numbers but also in helping associations avoid future assessments. 

     We provide free phone consultation before and/or after our reports are completed. Learning and understanding the goals of your association assures us that we can provide a quality report that will work well for the association members, property managers, and the association’s accountant.

Kings III Emergency Communications 

Platinum Level Winner—Safety and Security
(Winner 2021, 2020, 2019 & 2018)

     With over three decades of experience and monitoring more than 70,000 help phones nationwide, Kings III is the original elevator telephone line cost eliminator in Florida. Our unique smart line seizure technology provides capacity for up to eight elevators on one dialer, providing a cost savings to you while remaining code compliant. Don’t be tricked into increasing your costs by a promise of impossible savings. Call us first.

     We provide complete and compliant emergency phone solutions for elevators, poolside, stairwells, parking areas, and more. Our all-inclusive solution includes equipment, installation, maintenance, and 24/7 monitoring at our very own Emergency Dispatch Center for one low price. Two key differentiators include our unique line seizure technology, which eliminates costly dedicated emergency phone lines, and our digital recording and storing of all calls. These coupled with advanced dispatcher training and many other value-added benefits allow us to reduce risk, liability, and, often, costs for our customers. Other elevator phone companies subcontract their monitoring to local burglar alarm companies that offer less flexibility.

     Designed, assembled, and supported in the USA.
