I've been involved switching condo managers a number of times on different boards. While I don't have anyone I particularly recommend at present, I do have one piece of advice. When the board is sitting down to interview potential candidates, make sure the specific manager you'll be getting is there. Too often the owner or senior leader of a company comes, and they could be great, but if they aren't the ones managing your condo that mostly doesn't matter. I'd ask about staff turnover as well.
One condo I'm involved with has a big management company (name rhymes with 'worst service') and the specific PM turns over about every year or so.
The new person never has any notes, files, or information about ongoing initiatives from the outgoing person. So every time we re-start any process we had been doing (quotes, etc).
