A frequent question raised by potential clients, potential employees and vendors is, “How does Access Management Group obtain new business?”
Georgia Statutes, Section 43-40-25(b)(26) “Licensees shall not engage
in any of the following unfair trade practices: …Obtaining
a brokerage agreement…while knowing or having reason to believe that another
broker has an exclusive brokerage agreement…unless the licensee has written
permission from the broker having the first exclusive brokerage agreement;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, a
licensee shall be permitted to present a proposal or bid for community
association management if requested to do so in writing from a community
association board of directors;”

Unfortunately, some
management companies choose to push the boundaries on how much interaction is acceptable. When these companies choose to skirt the law - through aggressive advertising and pricing - it's at the expense of quality service. The Atlanta region as compared to other areas
of the nation, is known for cheap managerial contracts and low paid
managers. The predictable result is a
migration of talent to those markets that are willing to pay for quality...all because certain companies are not playing by the rules.
What can a community
expect of a management company resorting to such tactics to obtain business? What other “short cuts” may be taken? Rather than place a stain on the community
association profession, Access Management chooses to let word-of-month referrals by existing satisfied customers attract a clientele that places a premium on a community’s reputation - rather
than associating its name with questionable vendor partners.
