A Division of United Marketing Inc.
Managing Condominium and Homeowner Associations in the Puget Sound area of Washington State
Company HistoryUnited Marketing was founded in 1972 for the purpose of managing multi-family properties in the Western United States. Since its formation, the purpose of the company has expanded to include management of condominiums and homeowner associations and the formation of Condominium Management in 1996, a division of United Marketing, Inc. The corporation is chartered in the State of Washington and the company is organized within the framework of a centralized decision making process. There are no extraneous levels of management between the people responsible for the success of the project.
The condominium management industry has matured significantly since 1995. We believe that condominiums and homeowners associations have become a permanent life style choice for Puget Sound homeowners as opposed to a stepping stone to other types of housing. This maturity has brought about a more sophisticated homeowner in the operations of their associations as well as more regulations by the State, such as mandatory reserve studies. We believe the homeowner now recognizes the value of professional property management and view this business relationship as valuable, important, and on going.

Our goal is not to be the largest condominium management company in the Puget Sound Area, but to be the best. We set out to provide the level of service, competence and attention to details our clients expect.

Goals and Objectives
We propose to develop and maintain a Team comprised of the Board of Directors, standing committees, and the Management Company to develop and execute a management plan that meets the goals and objectives of the Association. The Association is the governing entity operating within the parameters of the CC&Rs, Bylaws, and House Rules.
A Team concept provides:
Long term stability - maintaining a good long term relationship.
Focused business - focused on solving important business problems in a timely

Value driven - high levels of service, trust, and support.
Interdependency - we take on the characteristics of the team, rather than two separate, distinct organizations. Supporting each other in the accomplishment of goals.

◊ We will carry out the requirements as set forth in the Condominium CC&Rs, bylaws, and house rules.
◊ We will listen, advise, and perform our duties.
◊ We assist in the long term financial stability through financial planning.
◊ We will provide timely, accurate financial information.
◊ We will be pro-active.
◊ We will educate ourselves and the Board on the Associations documents (Declaration and Bylaws), house rules, and state laws.
◊ We will keep current on industry trends.
What Makes Us DifferentWe believe we are a unique company in that we recognize our success is directly related to our employees success and longevity. We establish and maintain employees success by:
1. Limiting the number of properties in a managers portfolio;
2. Limiting monthly board meetings a manager attends to 6 a month;
3. Provide administrative support, training, and education for the property manager.
We recognize a successful Association accomplishes the following:
1. Adopts a financial plan by having an adequate operating budget and reserve study/plan-this is the Boards primary duty;
2. Adopts reasonable house rules;

5. Effectively communicates with the owners.
6. Hires a strong management company to help achieve items 1-5.

Condominium Management believes that time, training, execution, and follow-up is the key to successful operation of Homeowner Associations. We believe this can best be accomplished through the TEAMWORK approach.
