Charlotte, NC -- September 27, 2013

 

In addition to Association Management Group's list of vendors the firm has experience with, it encourages condominium, homeowner associations (HOAs) to consider the following methods for selecting new potential vendors:

 

1. Manufacturers - Check with the manufactures of paint, siding or roofing products for contractors they know to be reliable. Even out of area national offices often have links to local vendors/installers;

 

2. Professional directories, Angie's List or the Better Business Bureau all offer basic references; and

 

3. Similar communities or neighbors - the neighbor or neighborhood down the street may be working with some excellent vendors they likely are happy to recommend.

 

Spencer Ferguson, a Professional Community Association Manager (PCAM®) with the firm for over 10 years, says, Associations should avoid the attraction of discount prices offered by ones just getting started. Our experience is that often the newbie vendor is portraying his business as new because he lacks long term satisfied references. This should always be a red flag. Dacy Flynt, AMG Charlotte, General Manager comments, "At AMG, we know reliable vendors are one of the keys to high customer satisfaction."

 

Ferguson also points out that it is a good idea to not only seek out long term references, from several sources, but also obtain written verification of liability, property and workers compensation insurance, even if not required by statute.
