Why Choose Sentry Management
SENTRY MANAGEMENT is people...many well qualified and experienced people who are all committed to the firm’s goal of providing the best and most complete range of community association management services to our condominium and homeowner association clients.
SENTRY MANAGEMENT is a fully staffed accounting department consisting of an Accounting Manager and department heads for Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable and General Ledger. A large staff of bookkeepers work with computer software developed specifically for us to accommodate the special requirements of our valued community association clients. The accounting department receives the association’s assessments, remits payment to association vendors and utility companies weekly, prepares a monthly financial report and notifies homeowners of outstanding balances on a monthly basis. An HR department administers payroll and related taxes and insurance for those associations which utilize on-site maintenance and administrative functions.
SENTRY MANAGEMENT is an organized administrative department. A District Administrator is assigned to each management district to coordinate the administrative secretarial, reception and other clerical staff.
SENTRY MANAGEMENT is a detail-oriented closing department. The department manager is assisted by dedicated associates to work with title companies in ensuring Board approval of a sale, when appropriate, collecting the association’s funds at closing and providing new homeowners with pertinent information concerning their association, as well as notification of the association’s contract with the management company, after-hours emergency contact numbers and the community manager’s name and phone number.
SENTRY MANAGEMENT is a thorough and aggressive collection department which recognizes that the association must collect its fees in a timely manner in order to operate effectively. The department manager is assisted by fully trained associates to review assessment aging reports each month and notify delinquent owners of the association’s right and intent to file liens against their property. If funds are not forthcoming, title research is performed and at the Board’s direction, accounts are then referred to an attorney of the Board’s choice for appropriate legal action. All such transactions are posted and monitored via a computerized notebook, updated regularly.
SENTRY MANAGEMENT is an experienced group of licensed Community Association Managers, backed-up and supervised by District Managers who are backed-up by Regional Managers. Our community managers talk with homeowners, meet with Board members, supervise contractors and maintenance personnel and provide leadership to the association’s Board of Directors. A CERTIFIED PROPERTY MANAGER® and member of the Institute of Real Estate Management lead the team of professionals that bring solutions to management problems. Our staff is cross-trained to accommodate peaks and valleys in their workload and all of our community managers have a back-up manager available for emergencies. We are proud of our employees. We encourage you to take the time to visit our offices and meet our staff. The right people make a difference. At Sentry, people are the difference.
