Shea Management

Barbara Shea was incredibly helpful, even over the holidays in providing a revised condo questionnaire and other information the lender was requesting. The buyer was turned down by one lender and Ms. Shea went out of her way to work extensively with the second lender and as a result of her efforts, the buyer is closing this week! Ms. Shea and her very professional staff were polite, helpful and did everything possible to help the lender.

Unfortunately in the 4 years I have lived on the property, 3.5 years on the board with 2.5 of those years as president, I have been managing the management company to get any work done. Every attempt to get information as to why projects take so long to even get started is met by excuses about the contractors. It took 5 months to get a pot hole fixed which damaged a car, 7 months to get a railing fixed, and it has taken two months to get a proposal revised for much needed repairs that if go unfixed could result in even more costly repairs this winter. The documents we finally received for the last item were dated August 9th and they weren't given to the board until September 26th even though every week I asked to know what was going on. Calls to Barbara went unanswered and I couldn't leave a voicemail because it is always full. The reason we have kept her is because we are very busy and it is hard to keep up with those tasks that we hired Shea for. We also need to keep our costs low. She has pulled some very shady stunts and we are in the process of looking for a new company as soon as humanly possible. 

it was a very frustrating year of Shea trying to ruin us.

I'm irritated that I paid for work I didn't need. I'm not sure if it's my fault for not fully appreciating what was required (the info in the first mailing) or what. What leaves a bad taste with me is the mandatory work is usually conducted in a half-baked manner; this is not the first time, e.g. heating units in the hot water closet still hasn't been moved.
