Affirmative Management Service

As you can see from the pictures, the fence was not only subpar but unacceptable. The fencing company AffirmativeMgt contracted gave up on collecting the final payment and refused to come fix any problems. The problems turned out to be estimated as $49k to $80k from other fencing contractors estimates to fix the minimal set of critical needs items on the fencing system in the whole complex.

A few years ago our parking problems had become a crisis because our complex has fewer open parking stalls than units and a few residents were creating a lot of pressure by parking more than one vehicle outside. Then we adopted a parking control system at our property manager's suggestion and the difference has been night and day. The key elements of the program were distributing parking tags with serial numbers, occasionally issuing warning tickets, and (very rare) letters threatening to tow people who aren't complying with the system.

The result has been near-100% compliance. and we haven't had to tow anybody yet. The best parts of the system are that it is simple and our residents have accepted it with zero pushback. I am happy that the board is almost completely out of the parking enforcement business and stress over this issue has disappeared.

With the help of Affirmative Management Property, we have changed the culture by continually improving the community. The staff are always helpful. Highly recommend!

Unresponsive to homeowners needs. For a period of 2 weeks in 2016, no one to answer phone calls or respond to customer issue! Emails directly going to waste basket. Owner of the business is a bully and thinks all homeowners should bow to his demands.

With Affirmative Management's help and advice in the past two years we have installed new insulated roofs, repaired the exteriors, painted the complex, fixed all the fences in the community, and installed new mailboxes. And since we hired them, Affirmative has gotten more done than a series of property managers did during the previous 25 years.

Thanks to our AMS property manager's focus on getting things done we now meet quarterly instead of monthly as we did in the past. We are getting more done in less time. It's true, we are meeting less but being more effective. Thank you!

Since our AMS property manager helped us update our Bylaws and CCRs board meetings are spent discussing topics that will improve and beautify the community versus refereeing disputes, deciding who should pay for a repair, and preparing for elections and annual meetings. Being a board member is simpler than it was before we hired Affirmative Management; meetings are less frequent and shorter - yet we are getting more done!

AMS's productivity has been outstanding. As a result, the community is in top shape, our curb appeal is excellent and every now and then a resident even thanks other board members and me for all the improvements. Highly recommend!
