GRIER GROUP MANAGEMENT COMPANY was initially founded with the purpose of enhancing the quality of living for the Grier Family. Since that time, the family has grown to include our "family of employees" and their families, our "family of communities" that we manage; our "family of owners" in our communites, and our community at large.

GRIER GROUP MANAGEMENT COMPANY has worked to enhance the quality of living for all of our "families" by practicing and living by the following principles and beliefs.

• Integrity and Honesty
• Joy of life and happiness in everything we do.
• Belief in unlimited potential and possibility.
• Positive attitude and enthusiasm.
• Recognizing and magnifying the food that is in every person.

GRIER GROUP MANAGEMENT COMPANY is a full service management group specializing in the fields of community association management, which includes condominiums, villas, subdivisions, investment, and real property management. The firm is organized to resolve the financial, maintenance, contracting, and supervisory needs of the client. The complex requirements of living in a community association often demand the attention of specialists in the various management disciplines. Management of your community may involve one service, a combination of services, or a unified program of the services available. GRIER GROUP MANAGEMENT COMPANY provides sound management principles and practices which have been demonstrated as a crucial element in the success of community associations. There are four good reasons for this: Continuity, Economy, Consultation, Independence.

Continuity
Every time there is an election, the personality of the board changes. Professional management continues regardless of changes in the board of directors.

Economy
The primary reason associations manage themselves is to save money. But time is money, and donated time has a monetary value. Professional management saves money in the long run.

Consultation
Sometimes boards have unusual problems and there doesn't seem to be any solutions. Professional management gives a broad range of experience with all types of problems.

Independence
Boards find it difficult to make unpopular decisions that effect their friends and neighbors. Many of the decisions that boards make are "short-term" judgments which may have long range implications. Professional management gives the board independence by acting as a buffer between the board and the homeowners.

CONSULTING SERVICES:

Asset Management
Making the best use of real estate assets requires information, analysis, and expert counsel. Our staff provides all this through twenty years of experience and education, detailed studies on real estate management, condominium law, market trends, and economic forecasts.

Governmental
GRIER GROUP MANAGEMENT COMPANY helps the board to establish documented procedures to ensure compliance with all federal, state, county, and local government statues as well as administrative regulations, ordinances, and fire, health and safety codes.

Problem Solving
The best run community association occasionally is faced with what seems an unsolvable problem. GRIER GROUP MANAGEMENT COMPANY is dedicated to doing whatever it takes to get the RESULTS associations want.

FINANCIAL SERVICES:

Accounting
Record keeping and financial reporting are key services provided by GRIER GROUP. Included are paying of bills, recording of receipts and disbursements, and preparing of income/expense statements; monthly and annually. The collection of association fees, including a daily record of deposits, is a basic service provided by GRIER GROUP.

Budgeting
GRIER GROUP works with the board to develop and monitor a budget for the association which covers everything from maintenance to newletters. As the year unfolds, the board is informed of any necessary budgetary adjustments and an explanation of why they are needed. Evaluation must be continuous in order to have accurate information for the best decisions.

Investment Analysis
The development of a sound capital reserve schedule and policy is essential to the success of any assocation. GRIER GROUP will work with the board to provide an in-depth analysis of long-term financial planning with the advice of experts in the financial market.
