About Us-The Experienced Leader

The Sentry Management® history of creating outstanding communities for homeowners began over 35 years ago. As a full-service community management company, Sentry delivers its individual service through a highly skilled professional group of community managers. Each community manager leads an association-focused community team and is supported by a backup manager as well as a supervising District Manager. A dedicated internal team in Sentry's central office is also organized into community teams, so accounting associates, bookkeepers, administrators, collections and closings personnel establish an ongoing relationship with specific communities and managers. The value of a community support team is responsiveness. If a community manager can not be reached for a short period of time, the other members of the team are equally capable of handling each question or issue. Timely communication is assured. Sentry understands that personal attention and a committed focus create a long-term relationship that builds better communities.

Sentry is accredited as an AMO® (Accredited Management Organization) by the Institute of Real Estate Management, providing clients an independent evaluation that Sentry has one of the highest operating and financial standards in the industry. Sentry has no owned or affiliated service companies. We always negotiate the best prices for your community-and the savings come back in the form of lower operating costs. Sentry has 18 branch offices in seven states, including Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, North Carolina, Tennessee and South Carolina.

Company President, James W. Hart, Jr., founded the organization in 1975. Jim is a REALTOR®, CERTIFIED PROPERTY MANAGER® and is a past President of the Central Florida Chapter of the Community Associations Institute (CAI). Mr. Hart also maintains membership in the Institute of Real Estate Management and the local Homebuilders Association.
