Hi. I've taken the time to read a few of the negative reviews of CBM. I suggest anyone seriously looking for a new HOA management company take the reviews with a grain of salt. I believe the people posting do not understand the role of CBM, their HOA or even themselves in their Communities. CBM is not an HOA, they do not manage your particular unit (unless you live in an apt), they simply work with your HOA and you to make your Community and home the best it can be. If CBM is leading your Community and your landscaping, buildings or homes are in disarray, it is not because of something CBM did or didn’t do. It is because of some factor -- your HOA’s Board, under-funding, or some other issue internal to your HOA, plain and simple.\r

I was on my HOA's Board of Directors for over 2 years. My HOA has 160 units and 4 acres. I dealt with many of the employees at CBM on a daily basis. (Harold in particular is simply amazing at what he does.) CBM took our badly broken and almost bankrupt HOA and turned it around completely. We were flailing uncontrollably in the fallout of the foreclosure debacle. Our HOA had no money, was badly managed internally and externally, and in need of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of maintenance and repairs. Within 6-12 months, CBM balanced our budget, collected delinquent fees, professionally ran all our meetings, oversaw our maintenance and repairs as we could afford it, helped form and oversaw Community committees to enforce our rules, etc., etc. Our HOA couldn't have done this without CBM leading us through the quagmire. And the most amazing part, CBM performed all of this for a very reasonable monthly administration fee. \r

The commitment and dedication I witnessed from every CBM employee I worked with was unsurpassed. I have never seen so many people care so much about their jobs and other people's homes/investments. Sadly, more often than not CBM employees cared more about my condo community than the owners and residents. CBM is simply amazing. Their knowledge of HOA laws and rules is outstanding. Their ideas, experience and perspective on managing HOA's is absolutely priceless. My HOA would not have survived without them. Most of my HOA may not realize that, but people on the Board making the difficult financial decisions every day are well aware of CBM’s talent for doing a lot with very few resources! Now that I am not on the Board, I feel confident in my home’s investment, because I know that CBM is expertly leading our HOA. I would wholeheartedly recommend CBM to any HOA looking for new management. \r
