We are accountable to each and every human we interact with – and take full responsibility for managing your community in the most efficient, ethical and productive way possible. That’s a CMA promise.

A Sense Of Belonging

We ensure everyone on your board and everyone in your community – in any capacity – has a voice. From a face to be seen to a voice to be heard, everyone matters. At the end of the day, we are all operating as one; our company, your board, your neighbors and your community all have a single mission: improve value and quality of life each and every day.

We also understand the importance of effective communication with homeowners, vendors, contractors and everyone involved in your community management. Effective communication is a byproduct of transparency, inclusivity and accountability. Lastly, we believe that effective communication rests heavily on availability. You should never have to wonder if or when someone will talk with you about what concerns you most.

Obsession

We have a complete dedication to our board members, homeowners within the community and even as far reaching as the state boundaries of Kentucky. Our customer-first mentality is not simply a statement, it is the reason for our existence. Our customer is you, our board members, homeowners and a responsibility to the communities in which we all share a great sense of pride. Being obsessed means we will always go above and beyond what is required of us to ensure you are supported and your voice is heard. We want your experience as a board member is meaningful and fulfilling.

Discipline

We stay focused on your community goals and won’t let anything sidetrack us from hitting your targets – no matter how far reaching. We pride ourselves on a high level of accountability and resilience, even when it’s not the popular choice at the time.

Progressive Education

Our property managers exhibit an unwavering quest for knowledge and higher education in their craft. CMA offers educational opportunities and reimbursement for major accreditation organizations. We know the more knowledgable our property managers are, the better they will be able to serve you. Additionally, our property managers regularly attend seminars and trade meetings in order to stay on top of the latest legislation and changes in how HOA’s and COA’s operate in Kentucky.

Ethics

Anyone can say they are ethical. We show we are ethical, in all that we do and say with our communities. We maintain strong principles which guide our daily decisions and actions. We will never betray the ideology of always doing the right thing – even if no one is looking. We strive to always make respectful, moral and ethical decisions when interacting with board members, homeowners and the community.

Human

At the end of the day, we are humans first and your property manager second. We have decades of experience in knowing how to meet someone where they are at. Not everyone understands the same way, thinks the same way or reasons the same way. We have the ability to wear many hats – a trusted friend, a business partner, moral support and emotionally available when someone needs it most. With CMA, you’re not just hiring a company, you are introducing a knowledgable, caring compassionate human being to your close-knit community. We are honored to serve you.

We have so much more to show you!
