Testimonials

“Shelby Geehan is an outstanding property manager for our Bishops Forest II community. She is a true professional with a clear sense of her role, is highly competent, has a strong work ethic, is proactive, and works extremely well with our board. Her strong financial acumen has been an asset to us in dealing with financing and reserve planning. Her strong experience in dealing with contractors has been very helpful in project work and her organizational skills keep us on track. She is the “voice” of the association in dealing with residents and responding to their issues in a timely way and dealing firmly and respectfully with residents when needed. Since she became our property manager over a year ago, I have not received one complaint about her dealings with residents; she has set a new standard and we’re grateful!”

“Throughout this whole sale process, Crowninshield has been just the BEST management company I have ever encountered, in over 28 years in the business! I wish you folks were managing my Mom’s condo complex!”

“I’ve been in real estate for over 30 years and worked with many management companies, as a realtor I haven’t always had the nicest reception when requesting documents. I’ve been fortunate enough to have Caitlin Tee assist on more than one occasion and she is incredible!  She is always professional and attentive. She understands how quick a real estate transaction moves and has always been right on top of everything, making my job so much easier!  Everything that I requested was done in a timely manner. She is certainly an asset to Crowninshield Management.”

“I am writing today for myself and the other Trustees, Gayle B. and George S. to express our tremendous appreciation for the fantastic work our Crowninshield Manager, Jill Fama, has provided the Arboretum since she was assigned here. Jill is just ALWAYS on the ball. If there is a problem area she is ready with excellent suggestions for solutions. If she does not have the answer to a question when first asked, which is rare, she has the answer as quick as possible. In the past she has answered email questions on the weekends and at night. Finally, she listens to us and our Home Owner’s concerns. I really cannot sing her praises enough. We wanted you to know what a valuable employee you have in Jill.”

“I have lived in a Crowninshield managed property for over 13 years now and can honestly say I wouldn’t rent anywhere else. The staff is kind and caring and fully understands that this is our home. Lisa and her team go above and beyond to strive to make this a warm and inviting place to live. The location I am in is near the heart of the city but the outside feels park-like and our building is always clean and maintained. The staff continues to make upgrades and changes to accommodate the changing neighborhood. I truly love living here and would not move unless I bought a house!”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Adrian Litscher and several other managers at Crowninshield. I can confidently say that they are all highly professional and prioritize their tenants’ needs. As someone who collaborates with property managers daily, I can attest that Adrian is among the best in the industry. I highly recommend Crowninshield for anyone seeking exceptional property management services.”

“Thank you so much Julie for all your help throughout this whole process. You have been patient, knowledgeable, professional and most  of all so kind and caring. This has been all new to me and you made everything so easy to understand. In my opinion Crowninshield  is lucky to have such a valuable asset as you.”

“We work as a vendor for Crowninshield doing construction , property maintenance and service calls. We have always found them to be professional, prompt, fair, and easy to work with. They take care of their clients needs quickly and efficiently and are one of the top property management companies we collaborate with.”

“We have worked with Crowninshield for a number of years, they are very professional to work with and they definitely have the best interest of the condominium associations in mind at all times. The coordination with each job for us and the Associations has been very easy for us to work with. We look forward to working with you all more in the coming future.”

“Our property Manager, Jill Fama, is the best of the best! She is always one step ahead of the trustees, presents and explains any issues and viable options, and supports the trustees in all their decisions. Jill is always prepared at all trustee or association meetings, provides trustees with timely reports and patiently answers all questions by trustees on meeting agenda items or any reports provided. As well, she responds quickly to all owner questions and requests. We are a stronger association because of Jill’s management skills, her historical perspective of the Sanctuary and her spot-on interpersonal skills ( she knows when to be casual and when to be firm). We are blessed to have her managing our 172 unit property!”

“Working with Crowninshield Management has been a pleasure. Their professionalism, clear communication, and commitment to quality make them a great partner. We look forward to continuing our collaboration! Adrian is a great PM.”

“I’ve had the opportunity to work with The Crowninshield management team over the years. They have always proven to be a top notch operation.”

“Just a shout-out to Crowninshield Management, called them with regards to help around my property and they were prompt and punctual, would recommend 10/10 for all your property needs.”

“Over many years, Crowninshield has expertly guided our large Boston North Shore condo association through numerous challenges, including personnel management, complex renovations, and staying abreast of evolving regulations and insurance. Their experienced manager and valuable network of engineers and contractors have been indispensable.”

“From a vendor’s perspective, Crowninshield has always been great with communication and extremely professional. Always happy to work with their managers.”

“Chris and the whole Crowninshield Management Company are highly organized, responsive, and always ensure smooth coordination between vendors and tenants. Their attention to detail and commitment to maintaining the property at a high standard make our job easier. Always a pleasure to be their emergency service vendor.”

“I have worked with Jill for over 10 years. She is an amazing property manager who truly cares about her associations. I would highly recommend her and look forward to our continued work together!”

“Crowninshield’s manager for our condominium association, Jill, is EXCELLENT. She has saved our community hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars by negotiating better contracts for us, offering sound advice to the Trustees and recommending more efficient plans and decisions in our daily, seasonal and annual undertakings. She is the consummate professional. I ask myself many times throughout the year, “Where would we be without her?”

“Jill is a pleasure to work with. She’s professional, gets the job done, always on top of issues, very responsive and is a fierce negotiator–all qualities that are crucial for a person to have when entrusting them with the management of our association.”

“I have been on this board for 15+ years and have experienced both bad and good  management of our HOA. I know 12 years ago that the board made the right decision to bring on Crowninshield as our new management advisor. With Jill’s leadership she has turned bad into good. She has helped to increase our reserve from $13,000 to $450,000, while keeping condo fees as low as possible. She also has guided us in replacing roofs on all buildings, siding on some buildings, sprinkler leaks in some and also a fire in one building. I know the Mariner Village board of trustees will be happy to have Jill guide us in the years to come.”

“Over my years I have been on several condo and HOA boards representing both the homeowners and the developer. During those time periods, including the last 4 years or so with MV, I found no better property manager than Jill Fama at Crowninshield.

She is very responsive to both the homeowners and the Board’s needs. She is great at prioritizing requests when things get very busy,  but still follows up on everything. Her job knowledge is extensive which helps in the evaluation of products and services. It also enables her to save time in the decision making process. In a nutshell….. she’s doing a “great” job.”
