About Us

Testimonials

When our condo needed a management company, we were introduced to Ken Metz and Braeside Community Management. Since then we have never looked back. They are efficient, get the job done right and are a pleasure to work with. I would strongly recommend Braeside and Ken to any condo board looking for a highly professional management company.

Braeside Community Management worked with our previous management company for over a month, prior to the turnover date, thereby assuring us of a smooth transition. Braeside was up and running day one. How many management companies are that dedicated?

As a board member, it is imperative that we work with a management group that has the expertise to assist us in our decisions. Braeside Community Management has provided us with those resources. They have the homeowner’s interest in mind when identifying vendors and negotiating contracts to ensure that quality is not compromised when negotiating for the best price on a project.

We were looking for a management group that would “take us to the next level”, Braeside Community Management was that group.  We wanted not only to keep our community in good repair, but upgrade and remodel.  We had a vision for what our community should look like and Braeside not only was able to embrace that vision, but expanded it and started moving us to that goal.

Braeside Community Management stepped in as our new management company at a very critical point.  Our property was in complete disarray after a 4 month project turned into 2 + years.  The Board of Managers, as well as most homeowners, were very frustrated.  It seemed that our complex was physically and emotionally in a downward spiral.

Braeside was quick to take the lead and put the property in the correct direction.  The common areas were quickly improved and spirits were lifted.  Today our property looks great!  I am sure we would not have made these advancements without the assistance of Braeside.

Ballantrae Condominium Association has been associated with Braeside Community Management for approximately 2 years and has been extremely pleased with their efforts to reach our goals and to gain the results we were striving for. They are easy to work with and responsive to any unit owners complaints on a timely basis.

Herb B. – Northbrook, IL

Our last management company was not doing the job for our development. We did not feel our previous property manager was pro-active enough to handle the numerous requests and issues our association faced. We narrowed down our search for a new management company but the recommendations we received from other Braeside managed properties, said to us, that Braeside Community Management was the best solution for our needs.

The Braeside Group literally saved our association from imploding. We had serious issues as an association and with the physical property.  It was Ken Metz and the entire team at Braeside Community Management, who helped us turn around an extremely challenging situation.

Now seven years later, we could not be happier with the professional guidance and attention-to-detail we get from our management company. I would highly recommend Braeside to any association looking to manage their community in these very challenging times.

Braeside Community Management became our first choice in switching away from an unsatisfactory management company in our upscale community in Northfield, Illinois.  We have been extremely satisfied with our property manager, Lee Flanagan, who has provided highly professional service and easy accessibility, leaving us with complete satisfaction with our choice.

Many challenges exist with managing condominiums. As Board members, we are both owners and residents of the buildings we represent; however, it is difficult making decisions that are in the best interest of all of the owners in regards to operational and building improvements. Therefore it is imperative that we work with a management group that has the expertise to assist us in our decisions.

Braeside Community Management has provided us with those resources. They have the homeowner’s interest in mind when identifying vendors and negotiating contracts to ensure that quality is not compromised when negotiating for the best price on a project. In addition, they are fully versed in the laws and regulations that govern condominium living and management.

Braeside’s Jim Hardy, due to his years of experience, brings a wealth of knowledge with him and also a calm demeanor when addressing problems, presenting reports at Board meetings, talking to unit owners, etc. The feeling is that you are being taken care of and you have a very good partner working with you. You can not beat that!
