Get your Management Price Per Unit
The number of residential units plays a part in our price quote but other factors are important too. We need to understand what association responsibilities are spelled out in the documents because every set of documents are different. Minimally we need to know what common elements are included, extent of maintenance required and the level of services expected by homeowners.
Understand your Standard Services
Sentry’s full service contract includes:
Get a tenured Community Manager
Sentry has been in the community management business since 1975. Managers average 8+ years in tenure, one of the most experienced workforces in the industry.
Know if you have any Formal or Informal Relationships with Vendors
Sentry Management is solely a community management firm. We have no affiliations or ownership positions with any other business or service that may be purchased by an association.
Know how much and what types of Insurance Coverage your firm carries
Sentry carries worker’s compensation, employee practices, property, vehicle, fraud/theft, liability policies, including $3 million bond and $10 million in umbrella coverage. Sentry is willing to share our certificate of insurance, so boards can make ‘apples-to-apples’ comparisons.
Make sure all Fees and Costs will be fully disclosed
You will never be surprised by an additional charge that is not revealed in the contract. Nothing is vaguely written or open-ended in our standard agreement.
Know how you handle the Administration of Financial and Accounting Matters
Sentry’s designation as an Accredited Management Organization® (AMO®) causes us to have separate, specialized accounting, collections and accounts payable functions. It guarantees transparency and the utmost integrity in handling your community’s funds.

Local vendors, with the best service, for the best price. Every time.
At Sentry Management, it’s our job to make sure your association gets the best, most cost-effective options, every time.
Our local community managers are ideal for these tasks because they know the local providers, their reputation and reliability. Your manager can help ensure that work specifications are detailed enough to secure the most cost-effective bids to do the work.
Another important aspect of our vendor relations is ensuring that all contractors or service providers are properly insured. Sentry builds in safeguards to prevent adverse vendor actions such as fines, suits, penalties and damage claims. If vendors don’t meet the requirements for insurance or worker’s compensation, they are taken out of our system so you won’t mistakenly enter into contracts with them. Protecting your interests is important to us.
CommunityPro® is an easy way to make payments, access association documents, view account history, stay informed and more.
