Maximum Property Management

Maximum Property Management is a very pleasant company to work with. Tammy our manager, provides the services that were promised, is very knowledgeable and informed about current laws and best practices, always works in the association’s best interest and treats all owners with respect. Thank you for all of your hard work!

Here goes another review since Unilocal deleted my last one because they said I didn’t give specific enough information on this company so here goes… They (Christy) is our property manager. She is worthless as far as taking care of any complaints that we have called and emailed to her. We have rules and regulations out here and the management company is supposed to enforce them. But this company picks and chooses who has to abide by the rules and who doesn’t. We all have to pay the dues but are treated very differently. Out here you are supposed to keep your animals in a fenced in yard, yet there are 4 different families right around us that let their dogs run wild, coming into our yard and using it for a toilet. I have to pay attention while I am in my front yard because dogs have run up on me while working. They also forced us to pave over an extra driveway yet 5 other families have the same situation and never had to do anything with theirs. This company is no good and I’m sure the only reason our lame hoa hired them is because they were the cheapest. You get what you pay for, and in this case they are way overpaid. Horrible horrible service!!!

I have worked with many property management companies over the years and I have found Maximum Property Management to be among the elite. They demonstrate complete professionalism and integrity in the way they do business. The property managers are responsive and respectful. Theirs is a tough business but I feel like I am important to them each and every time I had worked with their staff.

Maximum has been our community manager for approximately 15 years. We are an HOA and I came on the board approximately 1 year ago. I am not one to bash small businesses being an owner of one for last 25 years. I also realize how difficult it is to keep the excitement in a small business over a long period of time. In fact, this is the first negative review I have ever posted against a small business as I want to see them survive in a time of corporate consolidation. However, I felt it was important to say I don’t know what is going on within their organization. Much turnover, new relationship managers assigned to our account are worst than the last, with the last two only working part-​time.
I felt Maximum took our account for granted as it was easy street for a very long time.
We have a management contract stating they will get board approval before obligating the HOA for any repairs over $ 1000. They went as far as obligating the HOA for repairs to owner’s units which is not part of HOA responsibility in the $ 30k range without board approval. It makes me question the non-​transparancy between Maximum and the short list of contractors they award work to. I find the owner of Maximimum, Tammy, to be very repressive, and this business style to radiate through her organization. Many complaints from homeowners who try to contact Maximum for repairs/​issues with no response. See all the Unilocal reviews from homeowners.
Like most customers, they vote with their feet and move on. The board just got tired of hearing about their incompetence and this being a voluntary position, just not worth paying Maximum every month to do their job and continually getting your head bashed by homeowners. Tammy was very abrasive and held turnover records to last possible moment, even though she is in violation of our contract.
Final straw today was I tried to close our bank accounts because Maximum would not provide me a check to transfer funds to the bank utilized by the new community manager, and after 1.5 years, none of the current board members are an authorized signor on the accounts even though we had signed cards twice in the last year and maximum did not give them to the bank. I have been two days trying to get our funds and now have to go have a meeting with the VP of the bank and prove I am on the board and authorized to close the accounts. (not banks fault)
I do hope Tammy takes a note from the reviews on her organization and hires some competent people to work for her organization. Otherwise, they won’t be in business much longer which is sad for the small business community.
In the meantime, I would suggest you do your homework if you are an HOA board member and considering Maximum as your community manager. There are a lot of choices out there.
Its hard to write a negative review without sounding shallow or uneducated, I can assure you neither is my case as Tammy tried to point out in an email to me. This review is intended to be direct to the business owner to get their act together and turn their organization around rather than bury them in the court of social medial.
Thanks for reading.

Zero star rating. They intimidate, bully… yes, you Jim. They threatened to evict and take a property from a homeowner. Seriously? Where do they get off!!! The sneak around and peer into backyards, opening gates to invade your privacy then dictate what you can have in your own yard, oh that’s right they own it all! Next will be coming INTO the residence and dictating your interior! They are tearing out half of the landscape and not replacing it without input of the homeowners. We have beautiful, mature landscape in this community and now they will be lowering home values. There are places listed for sale here that normally would sell within hours, but are still on the market. I’m guessing they have researched the HOA and the management company and said h@$ll no. They act as if they are a government over this community and hide behind the by-​laws when questioned. Our development has a sign at the entrance of our community that says «Covenant Controlled Community» Wrong… a Controlled Community… by Maximum Management! Heaven help anyone that moves here.

I would give them zero stars if I could.
This is our HOA and they are the worst. They make up rules and regulations as they go and they have no respect for the Residents of their communities. They act like an oppressive régime when they enforce their made-​up rules; they go around barking at people and their newsletter is a joke. They are very demeaning. They cater purely to Board members and don’t bother with those who actually pay their dues.
Our trash builds up for weeks and is full of overflowing bags of dog poo from people who walk their dogs. It smells awful in the summer. They do not tend the grounds regularly and we end up trimming the rose bushes on our own so they don’t overtake our walkway to our condo, and the sidewalks rarely get shoveled when it snows. I have NO IDEA how they cannot afford to do better with how expensive our dues are.
If you are looking at moving into a community managed by them– I recommend looking elsewhere.

Maximum Property Management personnel do not return phone calls. The phones are not answered during their normal business operating hours on a regular basis. They play to the board members and do not concern themselves with those who pay dues.
Last night I called to ask why snow hasn’t been shoveled from the sidewalks. It snowed three days ago. The representative who answered the phone said to me, «I don’t know what to tell you.
The president of the HOA will not allow paying homeowners to form a budget committee to look at how the management company is spending our money. There are serious discrepancies in how the money is being spent.
The management company screwed up the mailed ballots for proxy vote and sent out a notecard a few days later explaining the previous proxies were not valid. The paying homeowners had to request a new proxy via mail and had only a week and a half prior to the election to do so. The board has voted themselves back in, much to the delight of property management company (their contract will not be evaluated).
There are many issues here with how contractors are selected. Landscape contracts often leave 20k on the table, snow removal does not occur, and summer paving projects do not have proper engineering or specifications. Compaction of subgrade does not meet standard construction practice, and paved sections are already cracking and will need to be replaced in 5 years (another waste of money).
If you are considering purchasing a home that is part of a HOA governed by Maximum Property Management — think twice about your decision. Our rates keep going up and up, but the quality of management keeps going down and down.
