How to Compare the Companies

Green Ocean publishes this guide and offers association management, so we are not a neutral third party. Use the same questions with every company: local association experience, manager credentials, repair arrangements, fees, reporting and written contract terms.

1. Green Ocean Property Management

greenoceanpropertymanagement.com

Green Ocean is a third-generation, family-owned Boston-area property and association management firm — the family has been in Boston real estate since 1952, with the firm formally founded in 1977. Green Ocean manages 1,000+ condo units and 500 rental units across 60+ HOA and condo associations in Greater Boston, including Somerville, with a Specialized Operations Team structure (dedicated property manager, financial manager, and maintenance manager per association).

Green Ocean service features to discuss:

  • In-house licensed general contractor. Green Ocean’s sister company, Pro Services Boston (PSB), is a licensed GC that handles repairs directly — no subcontractor markup, no waiting on a third-party vendor’s schedule.
  • CMCA + AMS credentialed staff with deep working knowledge of Massachusetts condo law (M.G.L. c. 183A).
  • Two written guarantees most competitors don’t offer: a Money-Back Guarantee ($100/month credit off the management fee if a board isn’t satisfied) and a Price-Match Guarantee.
  • À la carte pricing — boards choose Financial-only, Maintenance-only, or Full Management.
  • 45–60 day done-for-you transition from an incumbent manager.
  • Request current association references and review recent feedback.

Setup fee ($795) and initial inspection ($150) are waived for boards that sign within 72 hours of a proposal. See Somerville condo & HOA management details or request a proposal directly.

Somerville Board Checklist

For a small or converted association, agree who receives owner requests, who approves vendor work and how shared-building responsibilities are recorded. Ask for a transition checklist covering accounts, contracts, keys and open repairs.

Every firm above operates in the Somerville market — not a directory filler. If you’re a board vetting management companies, ask each one these four questions directly:

  1. Is repair work done in-house or subbed out, and who marks it up?
  2. Are your managers CMCA/AMS credentialed and current on M.G.L. c. 183A?
  3. Will you put a guarantee in writing, or is “satisfaction” just a sales word?
  4. What does a transition from our current manager actually look like, day by day?

If a firm can’t answer all four clearly, that’s the answer. Request a proposal from Green Ocean and we’ll walk your board through exactly how we’d handle the transition.

DIY Property Management vs. Professional Services

Posted in

Short answer: Self-managing can suit an owner with the time, local availability, and experience to handle leasing, rent collection, maintenance, records, and tenant communication. Professional management may be a better fit when those duties compete with work, the owner lives far away, or the property portfolio and day-to-day needs are more complex. Compare the total…
