Overview of Condominium and Homeowner Association Services
Philosophy
It is important to delineate the dynamics of the
relationship between a Homeowners Association and its Management Company. The
Management Company, Rodemyer-Christel, Inc.
(RCI), works directly for and reports to the Association’s
elected board of Directors. Our function is not one of a decision maker but one
of a decision implementer. All major decisions should be made by the Board of
Directors on behalf of the Association. It is our responsibility to assist you
in your decision making by providing you with all of the necessary information so
that you are able to make informed and timely decisions. We are available to
help in an advisory capacity and keep you apprised of the state of your
Association. The Management Company should gather the information, advise, and
implement the decisions of the Board of Directors.
Management Capacity
RCI has been involved in the real estate industry for over fifty years. We are very active in the area of Condominium and Homeowner Association Management, and currently manage over 3,000 condominium and homeowner association units in the St. Louis metro area. We manage several condominium and homeowner associations throughout St. Louis County and City. We have a staff of bonded bookkeepers who manage all cash receipts and disbursements and prepare all corresponding monthly reporting using state of the art computer software. Because of our depth in bookkeeping and maintenance our property managers can concentrate on overseeing the properties they manage and the service contracts in place.
