Recommendations for a good condo property management company

[FlameOn]

I am on the condo board on a low-rise complex (~80 units) and we are looking at potentially moving on from the current condo company/manager that doesn't answer our requests for months at a time and sometimes doesn't return calls for weeks at a time.

Example here

How is your experience with your current company and any recommendations for a decent replacement company for us?

The condo unit that my parents live in use Simco Management and the few times I have dealt with them (on behalf of my parents), they have been very responsive. Of course, this is from a resident's perspective. I don't know how they are towards the board

My Brother in law actually owns an property management company.
I'll PM you with some info.
I haven't lived in a building they've managed, but I obviously know him well enough to recommend him.

I was about to write about them.

I'm on my condo board and we switched to Simco Management, which was highly recommended by another board member. Even though it has been less than a year, compared to what we had before it is light years better in terms of response. With the past management company we would have no idea if a letter was ever sent to a unit, and they almost cost the building over 100K in costs over an incident a few years prior that they provided incorrect info on had we followed their advice. We also received a lot of info that was never known as a board on what we can do. There are some property management companies out there that haven't changed in 30 years. It's a big change when you switch to what looks to be a competent property management company and expectations.

I lived in a building managed by Parterre and I wasn't overly impressed. They were responsive but played things a little fast and loose with the budgets in my opinion, and increasing condo fees every year with seemingly little regard for the residents and the potential impact on resale values due to constantly increasing fees.
