WHEN YOU NEED THE BEST - SEE RECOMMENDATIONS BELOW
Most companies that manage condominium and homeowner associations provide the same basic services. These can be categorized in four areas: accounting, administrative, maintenance and covenant enforcement. Carter Communities provides these services and strives to provide them at an exceptional level.
Accounting
Carter Communities provides monthly financial reports to the Board of
Directors. These reports include copies of all paid invoices along wtih a balance sheet, income statement, check register, past due owners and bank statements. Other reports are available upon request.
Owners may pay their dues online by echecks, credit cards or traditional mail. Payments can be set up for automatic payment through the association's bank or by an owner's personal bank's bill pay service.
Our financial reports are easy to read and thorough and can be easily emailed to Board members in Excel or pdf format. We place a priority in following up on past due accounts and work with the association’s attorney when outside means of collection become necessary.
Administrative
Administrative tasks mean that we will be dealing with people, especially homeowners and Board members. Our first goal is to treat these people courteously with dignity and respect. We listen to people’s problems and concerns and find ways to meet their needs in as short of a time period as possible. Our manager attends the Board meetings and offers to take the Board minutes during the meeting. This takes a small burden off of the Board secretary, but more importantly helps Carter Communities focus on the tasks that need to be carried out within the association. Our office and records are also well organized with an emphasis on taking advantage on all that technology can offer.
Maintenance
Carter Communities is experienced in all phases of property maintenance from routine maintenance to major renovations. We obtain competitive bids and have worked with engineers, architects and consultants on major projects which have included: roof replacement, parking lot sealcoating & overlays, painting, tennis court & swimming pool restoration, replacement of condominium balconies, property drainage improvements, basement waterproofing, replacement of underground water lines, replacement of condominium vinyl & wood siding, replacement of windows, interior hallway renovations, and brick façade repair on a 24-story high-rise.
Covenant Enforcement
Carter Communities strictly enforces the association covenants to eliminate violations from within the association. At the same time, we strive to be gracious and kind as we communicate with the residents. We maintain a history of all violations and provide the Board with a log of current violations and correspondence.

“I worked with Scott as a board member. He took over management of our townhouses at a very difficult and unorganized time. This was due to inexperienced and trusting Board Members, along with a management corporation that was not managing our properties well. Things had deteriorated throughout the entire Village. Scott came on board and assisted our board to function in a cohesive, thoughtful manner; organized our reserve finances to earn the highest dividends; hired ground personal that revived and refreshed our grounds; and obtained exterior maintenance to update all of our townhouse units. In general, he brought our Village to showplace appearance and made this a much better environment in which to own and live. His agreeable personality made our townhouse board meetings a pleasant and learning experience for all of the members to attend. He is a very generous, sincere, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and hardworking person who gives 150% to his job and every project with which he is involved.” Frances Dlugopolski
