“After ten years of running the Whitnall Grove Condo Association since its inception, the Board of Directors decided to look into hiring a management company. It was not an easy decision because we did not want to lose our autonomy regarding all the various issues. Still, the work load for the Board had become more complex and time consuming. After much soul searching and investigating various companies, we decided to hire Ogden. We could not have made a better choice. From the get go, Ogden has been by our side on everything – meeting with us personally, answering any and all questions via email, guiding us through the whole transition, and putting our mind at ease. There has never been one iota of “hard sell” from Ogden. That’s not the way they operate. They are here to work with us and to take over the immense work load that has built up over the years. The lines of communication are so solid. In short, Ogden is always there for us with an expert, knowledgeable, – and I have to say enjoyable - staff. As mentioned earlier – we could not have made a better choice!”

“I recently had the unfortunate experience of dropping my keys in the elevator and losing them down the elevator shaft. I'm sure you can imagine how distraught I felt at that moment. Thank God a friend of mine in the building had a key to my Unit so I could at least get in. Once in my condo, I immediately called Julie. I heard back from her within minutes. I explained the situation to Julie and she immediately took charge of the situation. Suffice it to say, I had my keys back within 24 hours. I don't mean to minimize the steps Julie took to resolve this matter for me, but don't intend to bore you with all the detail. The point of this email is to express my sincere gratitude to Julie, and to let the entire Van Buren City Lofts Board know just how responsive/reactive Julie was to my immediate need. Her attention to my situation was immediate, professional and very compassionate. I am very grateful to know that we are in such good care with Julie at Ogden.”

“I was apprehensive about a property management company actively involved with the day-to-day operations of my condo building, but it has been a positive experience since the beginning. Ogden's professional staff has been there to provide assistance, information and problem resolution whenever needed. Most importantly, the Ogden Property Management team has quickly responded to my phone calls, letters and emails. I appreciate being treated like a valued client, not just a name on an owner list.” Laura Gutmann “I was apprehensive about a property management company actively involved with the day-to-day operations of my condo building, but it has been a positive experience since the beginning.
