I deal with Condo First (First Service) and can attest that it is hit and miss. I have had the worst and the best.

Not to defend these people but they have tough jobs and I know of the hate that is spewed their direction on a daily basis.

Randlands view point of the board vs. owners is spot on. I served as president for 8 years on my board and it was a different building but exactly the same. I moved in March of last year and I still get personal phone calls from residents at the building calling me to deal with their problems for them. I haven't lived there in 10 months!!

It is a thankless job that nobody cares about until they need something done, then the wind pipes open and don't close.

In my personal case anytime we had to raise fees or assess it would cost me double what everybody else would pay based on my unit factor. It was a tough job that I am glad that I no longer have to do.
