DEDICATED PROPERTY MANAGERS
Our Property Managers are an important part of the team required to successfully manage your investment. At Goodman Management Co., Inc., we realize one of the most important responsibilities of the Property Manager is to communicate and interact well with the Board, as well as with the building’s residents and staff.  Our managers respond quickly to requests and provide timely notices to the residents about building service changes. If a serious problem occurs, they immediately contact Board members to approve emergency expenses assuring quick resolution of the issue. 

We believe that a well-informed Board and resident population helps to maintain the proper functioning of a building.  Your Property Manager spends several days at the building analyzing the duties of the current building staff and determining what steps are required to maintain efficiency.  Written job descriptions and schedules of individual duties for each building employee are prepared and discussed, and a work schedule is developed.  A program of work orders is instituted so that GMC and Board Members are aware of the work being done.  To prevent small problems from becoming big ones, on a bi-monthly basis, physical inspections of your property is made and maintenance recommendations are submitted to the Board.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER
Our controller works closely with both the Property Managers and the Boards to oversee all aspects of financial reporting.  The Controller supervises the financial planning of capital improvements and operating budgets for all the buildings in conjunction with your Property Manager.  On a daily basis the Controller is aware of the financial status of each building and is always available for consultation.  The Controller oversees each bookkeeper, who in turn monitors staff overtime, vacation, and sick days, and ensures that all payroll and filings are submitted in a timely fashion.  The Assistant Controller oversees the Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable departments.  In addition, the Assistant Controller coordinates the preparation of the monthly financial statements with each bookkeeper for each property managed by Goodman Management.
