Disorganized building documents and missing records
Little visibility into violations, contracts, or compliance deadlines

FAQ-Strategy Advisory Plan
How is this different from property management?
Your property manager handles the day-to-day operations—collecting maintenance fees, coordinating repairs, responding to resident requests.
We provide strategic support—organizing your information, building tracking systems, helping your board make informed decisions, and ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks. We work alongside your property manager to give your board the clarity and control you need to lead effectively.
Think of it this way: your property manager runs the building; we help you run the board.
Do we need to fire our property manager to work with you?
Absolutely not. We work alongside your current property manager—we don't replace them.
Our role is to give your board the tools, systems, and strategic guidance you need to be more effective leaders—which actually makes your property manager's job easier. Clear expectations, organized information, and proactive planning benefit everyone.
What exactly is a Strategic Advisory Partnership?
It's an ongoing relationship where we become your board's strategic partner and outside expert.
We organize your building documents, build custom tracking dashboards, provide ongoing guidance, and help you navigate everything from daily operations to major capital projects.
Basically: when your board feels overwhelmed, we bring order to the chaos and make things manageable again.
What happens during the first month?
The first month is all about understanding your situation and getting started on organization.
Week 1: We meet with your board to understand your biggest challenges and priorities.
Weeks 2-4: We begin gathering building documents from your property manager and start organizing what we receive into a structured system.
By month's end: You'll have your initial dashboard set up with whatever documents we've collected, plus a clear roadmap of priorities and next steps. This becomes our baseline as we continue building out your complete system.
Note: Document collection is an ongoing process—property managers vary in their responsiveness—but we start creating value immediately with whatever information is available.
Do you work with self-managed buildings?
Yes, we do. Our Strategic Advisory Partnership is ideal for self-managed co-op and condo boards that don’t have a property manager’s expertise to lean on, but still want expert guidance on compliance, projects, vendors, and budgeting. You stay in control, while The Folson Group acts as your trusted advisor and safety net.
