What is the ONE thing that you realized you need to know as a condo manager that the courses, or on the job training didn’t prepare you for?
Condo management is more about managing people and relationships than anything technical. The best managers combine multiple skillsets, but they focus on ensuring harmony in the community. We are not the final decision-makers and must work with the residents and the Board to ensure that our stewardship of their community is aligned with their interests and desires.
