Ocean Beach Management

Granted our HOA was a mess and required work to being brought back to normal, but OBM didn’t help us make progress at all. We left and picked another firm among many that we talked to, and in 3 weeks, everything is back in order. We have a new budget, we’re saving, we paid all our bills, we have a reserve study in process, list of items we’ll fix, board minutes, board meetings, actually, we now have a board! All those things that OBM wasn’t able to do for us in years.
I don’t know if it’s a matter of expectations vs services they actually provide, or if it’s a matter of resources, but beyond basic book keeping, they don’t really run your HOA.
So if you’re looking for a company to manage your HOA and help you picking vendors, budgeting, and improving your property, I wouldn’t recommend them.

My HOA left this company about a year ago and has been better off for it. Unfortunately Ocean Beach does not seem to have adequate staffing to handle many of the common HOA issues that arose, and when they did the response time was painfully slow. Also, when asked to recommend vendors, Ocean Beach often would not/​could not recommend more than one, making it difficult to gauge whether bids were competitive.

Started off on the right foot, seemed to know what they were doing but when it came to doing the easiest part, paying bills and on time, they were a disaster. And that is all they were hired to do, they were not hired to manage the building. So, in short, it didn’t work out.

I’m dealing with Ocean Beach Management since 2004. They are very professional and well organized company. They manage more than 30 condominium buildings and all of them nicely maintained.

Top notch service and quality staff. For a good year, they came out at all hours of the night to guard and fix our continuously broken garage door. These people are GREAT!
