CMA taking over the neighborhood!

by VexedCitizen

Who is running your neighborhood; Is it your Board of Directors or is it CMA? The management company is to assist in the day to day operations of the association. CMA is controlling our BOD, squeezing out members who ask too many questions, firing contracted vendors to bring in their own, controlling committee meetings- Board meetings and Section Representatives.

All correspondence is filtered through CMA: emails & phone calls. Our website is now updated by CMA and they have control of the content. They are keeping the BOD in the dark by having this much control. If and when they leave our neighborhood all information that was sent to their data base will be a loss to our community.

We have had CMA in our community for a short time and have had a number of Property Managers, family members of those to assist & now a resident in our management office. There have been accounts of confidential information leaking from the management office without consequence.

CMA is not entirely to blame, the BOD needs to wake up and take back our community.

CMA is making decissions for their own interest and not the best interest of our neighborhood.

I question the tactics that were used to get rid of certain BOD members, the ones who were actually doing their job as board members. CMA was in jeopardy of losing this account if those members were still in office. I have to wonder, when those BOD members left did our Property Manager get a bonus for "saving" the account?

This is why CMA is trying to keep control of the BOD. They think as long as they do so they will keep the account.

Anyone interested in a BOD position in our neighborhood & who is an "action" person better watch out... you will be removed too.

I would not go as far to say that they are liars, cheating, underhanded... I feel that they are in way over their heads.

They have ceratin people (not all) who are good Property Managers, but they don't know how to manage their employees. Some of the family members at CMA who are in managing positions are not qualified. Just because you serve the time by working at CMA for so many years or because you have the same last name DOES NOT qualify you! CMA needs to freshen up on their simple business skills and practice them.

I am very concerned with their accounting practices. With reviews I have read and knowing that our BOD can't get accurate accounting reports either.

I hope that for the sake of our community CMA will be replaced soon & I hope that who ever reads this takes into account the information before you consider CMA to manage your property.

I have served my community in many differnt levels & have enough knowledge to know that this is not the right Management company for this community.

• Pros: They are one of the cheapest Management Companies in Atlanta
• Cons: You get what you pay for.

Terrible company.

by Determined11

This corporation is the most twisted and unprofessional I have EVER dealt with. When you call them they call you back 5 minutes before their offices are to close and hang up on the first ring. When you call them back guess what? The office is closed. I am tired of this I'm getting a lawyer and if any one is interested on being apart of a case against these people let me know.

These are not isolated incidents and I am going to make sure something comes of this other than ranting on a message board.

• Pros: None
• Cons: everything you expect to go wrong will.

The worst management company in Atlanta!!!!!

by Fuze

What a sad excuse for a property management company. Never return emails or phone calls I have had to write countless emails before getting an answer back and then to top it off the retarded property manager didn't even answer my questions so here I am on email number 20 something trying to get a simple question answered!!!!! And come on this is the 21 century everyone gets email on their cell phone so it shouldn’t take 7 days to reply to a simple questions what the hell are we paying 300 dollars a month for????

• Pros: Nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Cons: Oh where do I start
