PDS hires only experienced, highly qualified managers. Your manager will be on site at least once weekly (depending on the size of the project, visits will increase as needed in relation to size). Weekly site inspections are provided by the Quality Control Manager to insure that not only the property is being maintained by it’s members, but the maintenance crews as well. PDS welcomes feedback from the entire community and has a 24 hour dispatch service for reporting emergencies or problems within the community. PDS works closely with city officials and police departments as an extra measure of security and peace of mind. If your association has a newsletter, we ask that a small space be used by PDS for feedback, suggestions and comments.

 

PDS’s doors are always open. Should a Board member or other community member have difficulties with their manager or other issues not easily resolved by the manager, then PDS management steps in. With over 40 years experience in community management, we feel we can work through any issues that may arise. Our goal is to do all that it takes to preserve your sense of community and in doing so, increase your property values.
