Property Manager Success Stories: Solving Problems in a Time of Need

We were recently contacted by a local Property Manager who really needed help. The problem was, he was preparing for a scheduled council meeting and there was an unresolved issue lingering on that agenda from several months ago.

It turned out an owner on the top floor of a condo complex had undertaken rooftop deck area improvements for their own enjoyment, but had no council pre-approval or permits.

Having worked with property management companies numerous times in the past, we were able to immediately offer some assistance.

After an exchange of additional information on the subject, it became clear the situation needed a resolution and Glenn was able to slip on his former ‘property-manager hat’ and apply critical thinking.

This Property Manager asked for a proposal to take to that meeting and was incredibly relieved when we told them we would be able to provide one right away.

Once we took this challenge on, it was clear it was not such a huge and demanding project after all. It just needed some focus and experience. It took just an hour or so to carefully plan and lay-out an approach. The council of owners would have us assist in drafting a demand letter, requiring the owner in question to provide written confirmation that the city was okay with their installation, then also have Glenn review it. If not, all would have to be removed and the exterior restored to its pre-existing condition.

Bottom line: they were now empowered and the issue was as clear as possible. The property manager was relieved, once again, as the matter was now off that meeting agenda. The problem was finally erased and they could move on with other matters.
