Operations


We propose a management plan focusing first on the basics of providing excellent day-to-day homeowner service, developing good communication with the Board, and controlling expenses. We also focus on maintaining the property in first-class order at all times, throughout the seasons, making it a leader and standard of pride within the community.

At Lieberman Management Services, we have assembled a professional management team to serve your Association's needs. It is our belief that the community can only be effectively managed by regular visits and inspections of the property. A competent and highly skilled Property Manager will be assigned to supervise all of the day-to-day operations of the property and act as the primary liaison to the Board of Directors. The Property Manager will visit the property a minimum of once per week, with other visits as required to supervise contractors, vendors, etc. We know that your community cannot be successfully managed from the office.

The Resident Services Department consists of highly skilled professionals trained to handle the repair needs or information requests of the homeowner. This friendly team will provide homeowners with immediate answers through the computerized Work Order System customized for Lieberman Management Services. All work orders are faxed to the vendor by the system while the homeowner is on the phone.

The final member of the LMS management team is the Property Accountant. It is the Property Accountant, under the direction of the Property Manager and the Director of Finance, who maintains the unique accounting structure of your Association. This individual also administers the accounts payable and accounts receivable operations.
