This is my first experience submitting an architectural request. May have just been my excitement - I anticipated the process to be a bit faster turn around time. However, I understand there are many factors to consider and probably multiple members of the committee that all need to look over the plans before being able to sign off. I am pleased with the professional and prompt communication from the staff. Thank you very much for your support! read more

Incompetent Management and Zero Accountability Never return your email/call Repeated charges due to accounting team's error Hides HOA meeting notes to cover up their errors Disrespectful/rude staffs If you enjoy endless frustration and constant headaches, Strategic HOA is the management company for you. Despite the owner, Ian, repeatedly claiming that communication and staff training are "improving," the reality is a total lack of professionalism. Service requests routinely go ignored for months! One of their "top" employees, Amanda, actually fabricates HOA policies to cover her own mistakes. When I simply requested a heads-up about upcoming work near my unit as I have a small infant at home, she flatly refused, claiming it wasn't her responsibility. Consequently, they ran an industrial fan right next door 24/7 for six straight days with zero explanation. When I asked her to cite the specific policy that allowed this lack of notice, she went silent. The sad part is this is just one of many crap stuff that they've done. They're wasteful with our budget and makes me wonder what they're doing at their office everyday, when you're not responding to their customers. This company prioritizes laziness over service. It's no surprise they were fired by our association after only a few years. Before hiring them, I strongly suggest asking Ian how many ongoing legal cases he and Strategic HOA currently have with former clients. read more

I wanted to get my payments paid out of my checking account on a monthly basis. I had great service with Marejoy Mejia. She was very understanding with my situation. I don't own a computer and my cousin had to help us get everything set up. I appreciate the help that she could offer and to get me set up. A special thank you for her concern and willingness to help. Marie Savino read more

Their response time is terrible. Make you wait over a week to handle rodent issues. Been almost two years and still having rodent issues at a property I own. Either they suck at their job or they do not care. Both aren't a good source to deal with pests. They never get the job done. read more

I had to discuss a matter regarding a parking violation that I disputed in our community.

Sometimes dealing with an HOA can be frustrating. In this particular situation where i needed to get a new tenant registered by the HOA to 1) live in the complex and 2) get her vehicle approved by the HOA and the parking patrol contractor, she was very helpful. I appreciate her keeping contact and following through to assist in process. read more

Dahl at Strategic HOA was super helpful and responsive when I needed instruction to set up a new account with Strategic HOA to pay my HOA dues. I really appreciate the prompt response and we were able to resolve my issue the same morning. Thank you Dahl! read more

Horrible experience with this management company--completely unorganized with zero communication. As a homeowner, I was required to pay an $11,000 emergency assessment fee. From June through August, this HOA continued to withdraw the assessment fee each month, yet the funds still sat in my account. Finally in August, $11,000 was taken out, and then in September another $11,000 was withdrawn--leaving me with pennies in my account and no one able (or willing) to return my money. Their records show the fee was paid, but the accounting is a mess. I've tried calling and emailing for months, but I either get ignored, given the runaround, or stuck with their automated answering system. Never a live person to resolve anything. This company has shown a complete lack of accountability, transparency, and customer service. Homeowners deserve better. I'm am not the only home owner going through this or feels this was about strategic HOA. read more

Had the pleasure of working with Kayla and the rest of the Strategic HOA team and it has always been a positive and professional experience. Team always puts their communities first and doesn't settle on sub par anything. They take pride in timely communication and value the communities overall vision and make it a reality. Can't wait to work on more projects with them in the future! read more

I appreciated your help with web access. Jeff was polite and efficient. Thank you Eleanor read more

Do not purchase/rent anything managed by this company. I have received multiple erroneous "violation" notifications, the customer service is the absolute worst I have ever dealt with and has no issue hanging up on you when on the phone. I strongly believe there is someone on the board near me that treats this community like their own personal 65+ year old community and hates children because they are a miserable person. Avoid these properties if at all possible. Especially if you have children. read more

I reported an issue with the pool area in our Amante/Ravenna community. Immediately the issue was related to the manager via email. Next morning I was notified that the vendor had arrived on site taking care of necessary cleaning. I am impressed by the response to my complaint. Dahl acted with no delay and kept me informed about the actions she had taken to address the issue. Efficient and timely service significantly impacts our confidence in property management, and I value my positive experience in this case. Thank you, Dahl and Criszel. read more

Absolute thieves. Charging all it's residents $4000 without warning because they can't manage the money to do their jobs. No warning, no support, no explanation on what the money will be spent on. To Ian M. I appreciate your quick response. I suppose I am going off the OLD HOA I have had to endure for many years. HOWEVER, when asking low income, fixed income residents for and extra 333$ a month, I have had to sell things to make the payment without getting your late charge. read more

Jeff is the best! He is super helpful and patient. I had a lot of questions and he did an excellent job helping me with all of my requests. My complex just moved over to Strategic HOA and we are so happy with change. read more

My interaction with Mary M. was extraordinary! She was extremely helpful and patient. She took her time with me and she was able to explain and answer all my questions. Employees like her are a gem and should be recognized for the work they do! Thank you Mary! read more

This HOA company and owner and employee is really unprofessional. They never return calls and emails. When you put in a request they take forever since and the owners name is Ian and his wife Mary will not return your email or messages for a month or so since there call center is in the Philippines. Take better care for our community read more

I am very satisfied with there customers service Jeff and Trisha the manager very fast response and guidance. Thank you everyone I would give them thumb up read more

Dahl Marie Bosque did a great job resolving our issue quickly and effectively! Communication was quick and reliable and everything was completed as promised. read more

Our HOA has contracted with Strategic HOA. I had an amazing experience their customer service. In particular, two employees (Mary & Andria) helped me with a few issues regarding their new portal and an accounting item. I especially appreciated how Mary took about 30 minutes to work with me over the phone and get my issue resolved 100% - waited for me to confirm the portal issue was resolved and went back and forth with accounting (messaging) to get my questions/concerns answered. Mary went above and beyond to make sure I was absolutely satisfied and ALL my questions/concerns were answered. She also did a couple of extra items to make my life easier that I didn't know could be done. You couldn't ask for more in an employee. I wish all customer service agents were as proactive and friendly. Mary (and Andria) will be my go-to staff at Strategic HOA. They did a fantastic job! read more

I, for one, want to recognize the extraordinary efforts and professionalism of your expert team. In particular, Dahl Bosque did a phenomenal job taking care of a problem I was having with logging into your upgraded and impressive website. In fact, Dahl's "World Class Treatment" Morgan was "like a warm blanket on a cold winter night" as he personally stepped in to swiftly take charge and correct the snafu. WoW, Thank You & OOHRAH! Please Keep Charging, Heroes! Sincerely, Patrick Grosso read more

Strategic HOA has been managing our condos for about a year now, and I've been so happy with them. They have been very quick to respond to any issues or questions we've had, and in all my interactions they've been super friendly, professional, and effective. We had a very ineffective and inefficient management company before them (Castle Breckenridge), so it's been very refreshing to have a management company that cares about us and does a great job. Thanks for all the great work! Highly recommended! read more

Thank you Marejoy for your patience and help with my questions. I appreciate you getting back to me in such a timely manner when you needed to verify something. I thought it would have taken a few days, but you got back to me right away. Couldn't have asked for better service. Hopefully, I won't have any other questions or problems but, if I do, I know exactly who I would go to. Thank you again. Catherine read more

We are so incredibly grateful for Dahl's help with our Architectural Review Request. In a stressful situation without working air conditioning, Dahl's speedy processing of our request and constant communication made all the difference. Dahl was responsive, reassuring, and guided us through every step. Thank you for the outstanding support! read more

Dahl and Gladys were great in helping me order new fob keys. Quick to respond and friendly as well.

Strategic HOA is very professional with the highest standards on the phone. I appreciate their competence, pleasant manner, and respectful attention to the issues at hand. I was disappointed, however, that when taking over a neglected property, the HOA did not recognize that fixing things takes time and effort. Getting estimates and doing the research takes time, especially in this very busy world. Receiving a violation 2 days after closing, as the first communication from the HOA, felt like a slap in the face and a very unwelcoming initiation. Demoralizing homeowners is not a good idea, especially from the get-go. Sadly, this draconian action is plain ignorant, and kindly notifying homeowners needs improvement. read more

When I raised my concern , Jeff immediately help to tackle the problem and make a quick action . Super nice person and I feel happy to have his assistance read more

I'd like to extend my sincere thanks to Dahl for her help with the Skyline Community Room booking. Her guidance was invaluable, and I truly appreciate her patience and efficiency read more

Terrible HOA service. No response--or very slow to respond--to inquiries and disregards basic property management responsibilities such as regular maintenance of buildings and completing requested work orders. Have no idea what they do all day. read more

After approximately two years with Strategic I can say with confidence I do not recommend Strategic. Managers are forgetful, untimely, unable to effectively manage multiple communities, make false promises, etc. As one owner put it "the owner is like a used car salesman." As an owner my financial account was a mess: direct withdrawal for payments turned off, statements show credit then balance, credit on account for months...I've dealt with 4 property managers for my community: Kayla, Amanda, Ian and Seema, and multiple assistants Dahl, Marjory, Sealeen. Strategic is understaffed, stretched too thin, unorganized and uninterested. read more

Seema and Sealeen from Strategic are awesome. They respond immediately and serve their clients unlike the last HOA we had. Or community switched to Strategic and it was the best thing. They are 500% better than our last HOA (Prescott). Top rated!!! Jeff M. read more

Great customer service from Jeff Remolador and his manager Sunny Geronimo. I got a billing issue and Jeff is willing to provide me extra steps to get my account issue resolved. He is patient enough to listen to my concerns and questions, and communicate with his manager to resolve my billing issues. Great customer service and great team. Thanks Jeff and Sunny for your help. read more

We have enjoyed our condo at Palmilla Del Oro, Oceanside for 4 years, but the eventual plumbing issues arising in most kitchens began to plague us recently. Showing its age, we invested in a new dishwasher, disposal, faucet, drain and P-trap piping for our kitchen, yet still did not have a solution to a long-term clog in the drain line. We approached Sea-Leen Isla Zunino, our HOA representative in recent years to see about HOA's assistance in finalizing our kitchen refresh. Sea-Leen has always been very responsive to our needs and quickly presented our plight to the Strategic HOA board on our behalf. She contacted us in short order about arranging a visit from ProTec Building Services, who have been responsible for much of the plumbing issues in this condo community. We assumed ProTec was coming simply to assess the needed repairs, but were very pleased when our ProTec man, Rick Pacheco, struggled up our stairway with a drain auger clearly capable of clearing the Holland Tunnel! Rick worked for over an hour, but was ultimately successful in clearing the obstruction, thus providing the final solution to reviving our kitchen. Plumbing being what it will be, we are cautiously optimistic that the fix is long term, but with Sea-Leen on the watch we feel we are in great hands. Many thanks to Sea-Leen, Strategic HOA and Rick from ProTec for their prompt courteous attention to our needs. Sea-Leen is truly a credit to the Strategic HOA organization! All the best, Bill and Sue, Oceanside, CA read more

I have received more (false) violations from this HOA in 2 months than I've received in the 6 years I've lived in my community. Strategic HOA took over a few months back and seems to take any and all complaints and issues violations without taking a moment to try to understand the CC&Rs. I've spent too much time defending myself and my family for the past few months. Ian, would you please reach out to us? We've been waiting for a response from Doreen or Kayla regarding the latest "violation" we've received. Would appreciate 1) a response and resolution 2) expectations set so property managers take time to understand rules before issuing false violations every few weeks. Monica B read more
