What they’re saying

“Board members come and go, but AMG has been our constant. They don't make our decisions-that's our job as an elected board-but they assist with administration, letting us focus on the big picture.”

— Cynthia, HOA board president

“AMG is an excellent example of what it means to partner with boards by empowering volunteer leaders and delivering world-class management services. This is the kind of collaboration that creates communities people are proud to call home, where residents truly love where they live.”

— Dawn Bauman, CEO of the Community Associations Institute (CAI)

“Our board was unclear on decisions about normal expenditures, with no real plan for the future. Then we hired AMG. They talked to us about a Reserve Study and planning ahead; better management of our accounts receivable and late dues; and controlling day-to-day expenses. With their administration, we successfully made it through tough economic times. We are stable now because of AMG.”

— Ron, Board member

“I thought, 'Well, that's it. Who's going to buy a house near a giant hole in the ground?' AMG stepped in, got engineers, attorneys, and lenders around the same table, and walked the board through it. They didn't tell us what to do, but they kept the wheels turning. Without them, I think some of us would have lost our homes.”

— Erica, Volunteer

“When a former board president passed away, his family asked May Gayle Mengert, AMS® and AMG cofounder, to give the eulogy. That speaks volumes. AMG understands their professional role, but they've been a true friend and partner to our community for decades.”

— O.C., Board member

AMG continues to innovate its services, including 24/7 client support, digital board training, and transparent transition support for developer-controlled communities. The firm plans to build on its 40-year legacy of empowering community leadership and maintaining long-term partnerships.
