• Reputation: For clients in our small to mid-sized target market there is a wide range of companies offering management solutions. With the cost of making a mistake so high, it is critical that investors and associations select a proven, reputable partner. Even if you do not select us as your partner, do your homework! Search online for client reviews and talk to other companies in the industry so that you are selecting a firm that sustains a consistently pleased client base.

• The Owner's Forum: Our powerful website solution utilizing message board functionality, is provided at no cost to our association clients and is one of the core components of our management offering. Owners can fully manage their account online including making Epayments, setting up automated monthly payments, review payment and transaction history and more. The Owner's Forum will also dramatically change the way your association communicates and shares important information. Owners can post questions and updates for their neighbors and review their feedback and responses. Feedback from owners is easily gathered using built-in surveys and the association calendar allows common areas to be reserved and other onsite activities published. Lastly, our management team uses the Owner’s Forum as a mechanism to communicate with the members of the association and keep everyone current with all property issues. The Owner’s Forum and the functionality it provides is not offered anywhere else in Chicago and comes standard at no extra cost for all Connected clients.

• Repair & Maintenance: Many management firms make a large portion of their income from charging their clients high, marked-up, prices for repair and maintenance work. By using a contract that forces clients to utilize their repair and maintenance services, the management firm is free to charge prices at above-market rates. The bottom line is that clients should never purchase repair and maintenance services directly from their management firm. Connected has changed the rules by partnering with proven partners that offer all of the services our clients need. Due to our high referral volume these partners offer their services to our clients at well below market pricing. The key, however, is that the use of these services is completely optional. Our clients are free to utilize the services of any vendors; our goal being simply to find the best value for our clients to ensure their success! Best of all, we will manage the relationship with any contractor or vendor you specify just as if they were one of our partners.
