Running a condo association is a second job you didn’t sign up for
You got elected to a volunteer board. Now you’re chasing vendors, fronting repair calls, and trying to read a reserve study you were never trained to read. The reserves are behind. A repair nobody budgeted for is coming. And the owners email you, not a management company.
Or maybe you have a manager already, and that’s the problem. Repairs sit for weeks because everything gets subbed out. The financials show up once a year, if that. Nobody picks up. You’re paying for management and still doing the managing.
Both of these are fixable. You shouldn’t have to choose between burning out and overpaying for a company that disappears after they sign you.
What we handle for your association
We run the whole operation or just the piece you need. Boards pick Financial-only, Maintenance-only, or Full Management. You’re not forced into a tier.
Financials and budgeting
Monthly financials your trustees can actually see, online, anytime. Annual budgets, dues collection, owner arrears, vendor payments, clean books at audit time. No more once-a-year mystery statement.
Reserve and capital planning
We help you fund reserves on purpose instead of getting surprised by a special assessment. Reserve study guidance, capital project budgeting, and project management when the big work comes (roof, masonry, decks).
Maintenance, with our own GC
This is the difference. Pro Services Boston is our in-house licensed general contractor. When something breaks, our own crew handles it, faster and accountable to us, not a sub we hope shows up. Routine repairs, emergencies, snow, landscaping, turnover work.
Trustee and board support
We run your meetings (4 trustee meetings plus the annual meeting and elections are included), prep the materials, and arm you for the votes. You stop being the unpaid project manager.
Compliance and MA condo law
We manage to M.G.L. c. 183A, the Massachusetts Condominium Act, and we track your statutory inspection deadlines so nothing lapses. Boston BERDO support when it applies. Condo questionnaires and 6(d) certificates turned around fast, so closings don’t stall.
Owner communications
Owners contact us, not you. Maintenance requests, dues questions, rule violations, and a portal every owner and trustee can log into.
Vendor management
We carry the vendor relationships, check insurance and W9s before anyone steps on site, and you get fair pricing instead of marked-up sub work.
Why boards choose Green Ocean
We own the maintenance, so we control the speed. Most management companies sub out every repair and wait on the phone like you do. We don’t. Pro Services Boston is our in-house licensed GC. That means faster fixes, one accountable owner across management and the actual work, and pricing that isn’t padded by a middleman.
Flat, transparent pricing. A fixed per-unit fee billed monthly that gets cheaper per unit as your association grows. No percentage games, no surprise line items. You know what you pay.
Two written guarantees, because your board is spending owners’ money. Money-Back Guarantee: if the board isn’t satisfied, we credit $100/month off your management fee. Price-Match Guarantee: show us a cheaper comparable quote and we’ll match it at 80% of our rate in Year 1, 90% in Year 2, full rate after.
A specialized team, not one overloaded manager. Your association gets a property manager plus a financial manager and a maintenance manager behind them. With 50+ full-time employees and Boston-plus-overseas coverage, someone is always on it.
The review moat. 4.9 stars across 982 Google reviews. Third generation in Boston real estate since 1952, firm since 1977. We’re not going anywhere, and you can read what owners and trustees say before you ever call.
Switching is easier than you think
The number one reason boards stay with a manager they don’t like is they think changing is a nightmare. It isn’t, because we do it for you.
Our done-for-you transition typically takes 45 to 60 days. We handle the handoff from your current company: getting your documents, financials, and owner roster transferred, moving the vendor relationships over, and setting up the portal. Your trustees approve the switch and we run the rest.
Most boards feel the difference at the first meeting we run.
Frequently asked questions
How much does condo association management cost in Boston?
Green Ocean charges a flat per-unit fee billed monthly, not a percentage. The per-unit rate gets lower as your association grows, and boards can choose Financial-only, Maintenance-only, or Full Management. Request a proposal for your exact unit count and we’ll quote a fixed monthly fee.
How long does it take to switch condo management companies?
About 45 to 60 days for a full done-for-you transition. We handle the handoff from your current manager, including documents, financials, the owner roster, and vendor relationships. Your board approves the change and we manage the rest.
Do you handle maintenance in-house?
Yes. Pro Services Boston is our in-house licensed general contractor, so repairs are handled by our own crew instead of subbed out. That means faster response, accountability, and pricing that isn’t marked up by a middleman.
What does a condo association management company do?
It runs the day-to-day business of the association so volunteer trustees don’t have to. That includes financials and budgeting, dues collection, reserve and capital planning, maintenance and vendor coordination, meeting and board support, owner communications, and compliance with Massachusetts condo law (M.G.L. c. 183A).
Are you familiar with Massachusetts condo law?
Yes. We manage to M.G.L. c. 183A, the Massachusetts Condominium Act, and we track statutory inspection deadlines so they don’t lapse. We also support Boston-specific requirements like BERDO and turn around condo questionnaires and 6(d) certificates so closings aren’t delayed.
What size associations do you manage?
We manage 60+ associations and 1,000+ condo units across Greater Boston, from small self-managed buildings ready for help to larger established associations switching managers. Per-unit pricing means it works whether you have 8 units or 80.
