I'm the president of the Board of our association. I'ts hard to know where to start with how awful…read moreand costly it was to work with this worthless scam of a company. They neglected invoices, leaving us in arrears with vendors. They mismanaged our property, refusing to visit or saying they had visited when we knew they hadn't. They didn't show up for meetings. They canceled meetings the day of. They failed to notice billing issues that wrecked our vendor accounts and then refused to fix the problem. They told us repeatedly that it was not their job to manage our community. They refused to tell us how much money was in our accounts or answer any accounting questions. They accused our Board of being unresponsive because we didn't answer emails within an hour or two and then ignored us when we did answer. They completely ignored our residents, including during emergencies. They didn't provide any emergency contact number for our residents, and when our Board members tried to contact their after hours emergency vendor they refused to take any action without Bell Anderson's approval. They didn't answer our phone calls, text messages, or emails for days on end and then when they did answer they were curt and maliciously unhelpful. Their community association manager refused to take part in meetings. Bell Anderson's policy is to not take minutes during meetings, forcing us to hire an outside contractor to attend meetings and take minutes for an additional $400/month on top of their management fee. The association managers they assigned to us were a 90 year old man whose executive functioning abilities were long gone, and then when he finally retired they gave us a woman who *openly* treated us like she hated us from day one. Meanwhile, through all of this and much more, they had no trouble pocketing the management fee check month after month. When we finally had enough and planned to fire them, they got wind of it and "fired us first", stopped paying all our bills, and refused to cooperate with the incoming new mangement company. The owner of Bell Anderson and the operations manager were unapologetic and arrogant through all of this. If you are considering hiring this company, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at onetaothree @ gmail, I have many references and testaments to what a horrible, incompetent, outright toxic company Bell Anderson is. Thank you for reading all of this and please don't hesitate to share it as widely as possible.

After more than two decades living in an HOA community managed by Around the Clock Inc., I feel…read morecompelled to share my experience so that others can make informed decisions. I have lived in my community for 22 years, and Around the Clock Inc. has managed our HOA for nearly that entire time. This perspective comes from long-term experience, not a single incident. Over the years, the most consistent issue has been a lack of communication and responsiveness from management. Attempts to reach the company by phone are generally unsuccessful, and email responses are often delayed or never received. One example occurred about 15 years ago when the management company changed the bank used for automatic HOA payments. This change was not communicated to our household. Our bank confirmed that payments were still being sent to Around the Clock Inc., yet a lien was placed on our home due to the payment processing issue. When we attempted to contact the management company by phone, we received no response. Eventually, through email communication and considerable effort on our part, the issue was investigated and it was acknowledged that our household had not been notified of the banking change. The situation was eventually resolved, but it required significant time and stress due to the lack of communication. In another instance, when I raised concerns about unanswered calls and emails, the response minimized the issue and suggested that additional attempts should have been made to establish contact. At the same time, management indicated that they typically send only one communication regarding important matters and do not follow up beyond that. This approach makes it difficult for homeowners to resolve issues efficiently. Communication is also inconsistent in other ways. The company regularly sends emails notifying residents about office closures for holidays and extended winter leave. However, when it comes to issues that directly affect the community--such as repairs or maintenance--updates are rarely provided. For example, the security gate in our gated community has been non-operational for extended periods over the years. At the time of writing this review, the gate has been non-operational for four consecutive months with no proactive updates regarding repair progress or timelines. The impact of this lack of responsiveness is felt throughout the neighborhood. During this period of the gate not functioning, multiple vehicles in our community were broken into. Situations like this understandably raise concerns among residents about safety and accountability. Over the years, many neighbors have expressed feeling ignored and unsupported. While homeowners are held to high standards within the HOA, concerns raised about management are often dismissed with the explanation that the company manages many properties. While we understand that property management companies have multiple responsibilities, homeowners reasonably expect timely communication and basic responsiveness for the services being provided. I understand the value and benefits that an HOA can bring to a community. Unfortunately, in my experience, management by Around the Clock Inc. has not delivered those benefits. After more than two decades of dealing with these ongoing issues, the stress and frustration have significantly impacted the morale of our neighborhood. I cannot recommend this management company. Our community would benefit greatly from new management.

When we met with Dawnette Fletcher she talked a good game and instantly had our confidence. Three…read moreyears later we terminated the relationship for an assortment of reasons. For openers, Dawnette is a shockingly poor communicator. The text chains I could show you are really embarrassing. She responds as if she's only half paying attention and is very unclear in her responses. We aren't sure if the problem is cognitive or that she doesn't care enough to engage with purpose. She also drops the ball. For example, she was given a three month heads up that the renters would not be extending, and I reminded her twice to get ready to list/show the house again. Nonetheless, the house sat empty for a month because she forgot to get it back on the market. Also, she brought every little renter complaint to me rather than just solving the problems like a property manager should. I'd be on a cruise ship texting plumbers while she waited for further instruction. One time she almost rented our home to a guy who was using his father's SS#. It was obvious something was awry with the renters information and I had to point out the obvious to prevent her from renting the house under fraudulent pretenses. Perhaps our biggest complaint of all is she didn't show us an ounce of respect. We felt like we were at the bottom of her list of people who deserve consideration. We paid her way to much money to feel like she didn't care about us or our experience. The first two years we employed her she found us a renter and we managed the property ourselves. That was mostly ok, other than when she forgot to relist the house. The last year we used her to manage the property and it was downright dreadful. We wouldn't recommend Dawnette to our worst enemy. She is bad at what she does. Our property manager in Texas is leagues better in every regard so we know how the job can and should be done. We hope this helps. Avoid at all costs.
