I want to give a shout out to Alexia Gamundi for the prompt service. I requested the removal of some dead limbs on trees on the communities property to the rear of our house on Monday of this week, The team from Affordable Tree Service was here early Wednesday morning and addressed the situation. Thank you, Alexia and Vicky read more

I have lived in Fair Lane Acres for 26 yrs. C and S took over FairLane Acres a few years an ago this seems to be the worst thing that has happened in the last 25 yrs. Seems to be ran by alot of incompeten's they give great lip service but seem to be very lazy in attempting to correct issues that are driving the value of homes and property way down, maybe for a reason to bring lower quality of new home owners. We have a large storage tent in park just waiting on hurrican, and a hoarder that keeps trying to move his property line over into vacant lot Next to his and another one behind me with extreme vegetation over growth. Renter that is in mobile home that seems to need torn down all the way. They did remove part of it about a year ago but growing vegetation that is into our power meters. I payed $400.00 about 6 months ago to get it cleaned up , but needs again the owner doesn't care as long as she gets rent. I am asking for help I am 81 disabled and so is wife house bound. The homeowners association gives lip service. I tried to post small videos from my deck but was unable to. My email is Dpickney@ Verizon .net I am asking for help will pay. Was told if unhappy to move but right now no one with good sense would want. By the way I keep my place up have pictures. Thank you for reading. Fair Lane Acres is no longer a place one would want to live. L. Pickney read more

I sold a condominium at village green in Sarasota. After it was sold they took an auto payment. It is now more than 2 1/2 months later and they have yet to refund my money. I have left messages with the president of the company, Chris Brown and he put me in touch with an associate, Sandra Stilwell who was supposed to handle it. That was 3 weeks ago. read more

If there was a choice less than one star, that would be my choice. this company was fired by my community in the past and wanted another chance. For 1 year they gave us a very qualified representative, however after that year they gave us Colleen. Colleen doesn't seem to be able to do her job. Month after month the same issues (which she claims she will take care of ) come up in meetings and she has done nothing! Same excuse every meeting, and "she will get right on it", she never gets right on it. Her "assistant" constantly gives out wrong information to people who call for answers. When and if they actually get someone on the phone. I'm not sure why we pay her to sit at our monthly meetings to look at her phone. Our websites are not updated. The minutes of our meetings are never uploaded. This woman tries to "sway" the board in their decisions by her attitude and comments. She clearly doesn't realize that SHE works for US and not the other way around. When asked why our vendors are not paid in a timely manor, her reply is that she doesn't like the Postal Service and that she tells the vendors to come to her office to pick up their checks! Whaaaaat???? I could go on and on, but by now you get the idea. If you're looking for a company that will do a good job and make you proud, this isn't it! read more

I have worked with Judi Morrison from C&S on a number of occasions over the years regarding my mothers condominium in Bradenton Florida and she has always been focused in her actions and extremely prompt in communication and response time........ Highly recommended. read more

I recently had the pleasure of meeting and working with Judi Morrison, association manager for C&S Management. I was quite impressed with her professionalism while assisting me through the process of purchasing a home. Judi was friendly, accommodating, and was able to accurately answer the many questions I had. Through the years I have had many experiences purchasing and building homes. I worked with many people during the lengthy complicated process. I can say with certainty that working with Judi Morrison was nothing short of exceptional. She is a five star employee and a valuable asset to C&S Community Management Services. read more

I'm a local Real Estate Broker Owner and recently I had to work with C&S Management. There were multiple applications that needed to be submitted base on my customers new purchase and phone interviews and I wanted to take the time to write a review for Rosie Reece. I don't think this woman gets the credit she deserves. It was certainly a complicated process as my buyers were ONLY spanish speaking but when I say Rosie went above and beyond for me and them, I mean it. I really hope C&S Management takes care of employees like her. read more

This is the worst property management company, there are very incompetent and unresponsive. Take a long time to respond to emails, do not return phone calls, and are very unorganized in general. They don't really know how to manage a community. read more

Non responsive company and website for communites almost never works. Very combative when asking for repairs and they hand out citations for things owners have no control over. read more

Dont waste your time sending emails and pictures to this management company,,,Nothing will be resolved and your issues will go nowhere,,They are a forwarding email company but that is about it,,,Find the nearest brick wall and bang your head against it,,, read more

Judy M. is our community rep and she has been very easy to work with - extremely responsive, very knowledgeable regarding the guidelines and always professional and polite. read more

HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED... We just purchased a condo that C&S Represents and I have been trying for 5 days to get our designated representative to give me a OK to change out hot water tank. The plumber and home inspector says the main valve must be replaced and the main has to be off for up to 3 hours. Mind you we are seniors with no hot water in our unit for over 5 days. I left 2 voice mails and 2 emails to Alexia our rep and have not got any response even though her voice mails says she will get back to you with in 24 hours. Its sad as we are so looking forward to winters in Florida but things like this puts a sour taste in your mouth. C&S has the monopoly in Florida so they really don't care about 1 senior with no hot water. ( I hope the tank doesn't start leaking as there is no way to shut off. ) When and if I become a board member I will do everything in my power to find a different management company. They have become so big they don't care about the little guy. read more

I am currently (i.e. under contract) in the process of purchasing a property in the Central Cortez Plaza Condominium Development, Bradenton, Fl. Over the past week, I left ample messages for a "Coleen" @ ext. 117, who I was informed was responsible for managing this property. I never received a back-call. I telephoned/left another message again today, still no call-back. I called again, this time zeroing-out to the receptionist. She informed me Colleen was no longer responsible for this development, and, instead transferred me to a 'Jennifer' ext. 126. From the offset, Jennifer was the most RUDE and UNHELPFUL representative I've ever encountered!! Maybe she resented taking Jennifer's calls?? She kept confusing the buyer from the seller (& referred to me as both during a 2 minute..go figure?). She couldn't determine who was provided which/what documentation & from whom. Then, she said, well, I'll need to charge you $$$ to address your queries. She had the nerve to call me 'rude' because I expressed my dismay for the company not even having the professional courtesy to return the many calls/messages. Lastly, she informed me (like it OR not) I was 'stuck' doing business with them if I wished to own a property in this development. Wow!! Consequently, I'm calling my agent ASAP in efforts of getting out of this contract!! And, if I can't, I'm filing a formal complaint & will work endlessly to ensure C&S's contract (& reviews) is reviewed upon its renewal! They have Appalling customer Service!! They are Not deserving of the 1 star-rating provided (but, 0 wasn't an option)! PLEASE Look @ the previous reviews (as I just did). We can't ALL we wrong and/or misinformed! There's no conspiracy, just truthful comments. Cortez Plaza Condo owners (& potential owners) PLEASE get NEW bids from companies who respect you & your interest(s)!! They don't know who's on 1st & cant even answer basic elementary (general) questions! Karen, Trustee read more

An application to rent a unit in one of their managed properties was denied with no explanation. When polite questions were asked of Evie Garcia, the Property Manager, she immediately developed a nasty attitude. Kind words and apologies for any mis-communication had no effect on this woman... she was nasty from question one onward. After hanging up on us several times we decided to speak to the Owner/Manager Chris Brown. This man was even nastier and more rude than the woman offering blatant insults to our intelligence. After speaking to the condo's attorney we also hit a brick wall as to why our application was denied. I highly recommend staying away from any community managed by this company. read more

C&S is a terrific and very responsive, proactive company to work with and we couldn't be happier with their service, and in particular, their CAM Beth Miller. Ms. Miller recently took the initiative to review and price our property's insurance coverage, and in doing so, reduced our premium by 30%, resulting in a savings of about $10k for even better coverage. You can't ask for better professionalism and service than that. Thanks to Association Manager Beth Miller and to C&S for such great results! read more

I have called the office 7 times over the last 9 weeks because each Monday morning at promptly 7:00 a.m. a sprinkler in my yard sprays directly into my AC unit and then onto my bedroom window (no wonder I have rust and paint problems just inside window jam area!). Two different people have called me back promptly leaving messages that "maintenance will be sent out," each time requiring a service call, which I assume the association has to pay for!?! Each Monday I call back letting them know I am still experiencing the problem. The last two times I called, I asked that they leave me the name and number of the person they are sending out so I can coordinate a time to meet and personally show him/her the exact sprinkler and problem. NO RETURN PHONE CALL....It is now 7:20 on a Monday morning and the sprinkler issue continues. I am very frustrated and this isn't the first time I've experienced problems with C&S. read more
