I've lived in my unit for 14 years and only once have I put in a request for a service call and ZERO response from PMSI The service requests is for a roof leak at that! You would think that there would be some sense of emergency, but no not at all. This is a horrible company and the sole reason why I would never again want to have an Hoa. They will threaten to take your home if you're even one payment late, but provide horrible service when you need a service that you are paying for.

PMSI is a property management company for developments/condo properties in FL and GA. Unfortunately, as a condo owner, one inherits the existing management company, so if we had a choice, this one would NOT be it. They are dysfunctional-- lacking in basic, timely communication skills, efficiency and professionalism! On more than one occasion, we have had HOA payments returned to our checking account with no explanation and no notification with a resulting late charge! Requests for basic documents, during a refinancing process, were ignored after numerous reminders and requests.
Turn over in office staffing has produced inconsistent performance across the platform. Recommendation: if buying property with an HOA and a Property Management overseer, it would be worth researching both before investing!

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Terrible customer service for home owners! Management is RUDE and unprofessional! Waste of money. They don't take care of current issues in the neighborhood and pocket money.

I have owned two condominiums in the area that PMSI has managed for the HOA. I am constantly amazed at the incompetence and wonder how they stay in business. I would like to get my HOA to move to another property management company as they do not return phone calls, emails, and generally thwart my efforts to get business accomplished.

Andrew and staff were very helpful, these reviews do not represent what Property Management Systems stands for. If you want good reviews go to Disney world. The only negative reviews you'll see on here is those who are non compliant and can't stand being told what to do! Get real you live in an HOA. Thanks PMSI, keep up the good work.

PMSI is a household name in the Nassau County for a reason. They might not give you want to hear but they are going to give you what you NEED to hear. I'm 67 years old and was educated on ARB requirements in minutes. This all you can ask for out of your management company. Don't be flattered by logos and slogans Scott, Lisa, and Sherri mean business and that's ultimately what it takes to run a successful HOA in the sunny state of Florida.
