Just say "NO" to Advanced.

They manage (mis-manage is more like it) our coop and I find them to be disorganized, non-communicative and ineffective for even the simplest things.

I've worked with Steve Kessler at Grogan on projects where I was the architect and he has always been extremely helpful, efficient, etc, even in situation with conflicts between neighbors, and such that got quite problematic. I'm not saying use them for this condo, but I certainly do not find that madamlee's comments are echoed by my personal experience and I assume there is another side to whatever story is being told there.

Just to chime in re: Andrews. When our building hired them, they touted their extensive network of problem-solving professionals they were connected with, and yet when we needed someone to fix something, we seemed to be on our own in terms of finding qualified professionals. Personally, I had several bad experiences with Andrews, in terms of not following up on problems, one of which was a very bad leak from an upstairs apartment. I no longer live in this building and hear that they've improved, but, imho, if you can self-manage, it's really the way to go.

Hello,

It's not enough to ask a community of blog readers for a recommendation. Read up on how to choose a manager.

We have a page devoted to the topic on our website: http://ogimanagement.com

Check references. Some companies won't stand up to this basic test.

Review proposals and look for follow through during the sales process.

If you have questions, we will be glad to help you during this stressful and time consuming process.

Regards from
One Good Idea
