“Karanda Village I has been affiliated with Benchmark Property Management for 20 + years. That in itself has much to say for this Management Company.
As President of Karanda Village I for the past four (4) years, my personal experience with Benchmark has been a positive one. Their personnel have worked hard to perfect the service they provide. The bookkeeping staff has provided excellent guidance and has handled problems with our homeowners payments with finesse, and the people at the switchboard are always pleasant. The person who handles the insurance is experienced and knowledgeable. However, life is never perfect and smooth all the time. Whenever a bump has arisen in the course of our business it has always been dealt with quickly, efficiently and professionally.
I have heard that everything trickles down from the top. If you want to find out why Benchmark Property Management has so many good, knowledgeable, experienced people on their staff you just need to look at the owner. The owner is “hands on”, personable, knowledgeable, experienced, and service oriented. His clients come first. He commands the same from his staff. It has been a pleasure and honor working with him and his staff these past four (4) years.”
T.J. Mallet, President

“As the President of The Pines of Boca Barwood Phase 1, I felt compelled to write a review about our Management Company, Benchmark. They have literally saved our community. Their knowledge, wisdom and expertise cannot be measured. With all their knowledge they have saved us thousands of dollars. Also, we had a few plumbing problems recently and our manager was here within 20 minutes on a Saturday, including another call at 4am. When we need any kind of work done Benchmark only recommends the best people to do the job. Anytime, I call their office I always get prompt and courteous service. As President , I cannot tell you how much they have helped me to do my job and made me feel very secure in doing so. We have had many companies before them, and I can truly say Benchmark is the Rolls Royce of Management Companies, As a community, we are all very proud and thankful to have Benchmark as our Management Company.”

“Our Community is proud to be associated with Benchmark Property Management. Bill and Barbara Sugarman lead a staff providing consummate professional property management services to our community and many other Associations in South Florida.
It is especially important for volunteer board members and the communities they serve, to have management that provides knowledge on a variety of subjects and certainly of up-to-date legislation affecting Associations; Benchmark fulfills that need. Furthermore, we depend upon their knowledge of prudent financial business practices as they guide our community through the budget process and help to ensure our members are well cared for now and in the future.
We continue to enjoy their partnership with our community and highly recommend Benchmark to any Association looking for the best property management services available.”

“In a perfect world Associations really wouldn’t need a management company. Owners would pay their maintenance on time, buildings and mechanical equipment would never need work, landscaping would always be picture perfect, owners, tenants, or guests would never break the rules, nor would cities or counties ever change codes requiring properties to take action. Well, as we know, we don’t live in that world.
For 24 years Benchmark has been our management company. And why? They are an organization staffed with professionals and structured in a way that makes it easy to do business with. Their support and personal involvement in the many challenges facing our Association has given the Board a higher degree of confidence that the decisions made are on solid ground and has strengthened the community overall.
Benchmark has and continues to be responsive and committed to the well being of our community.”
Steve Faynor, President

“Our association has been with Benchmark Property Management for almost 10-Years; a record for us 🙂 I currently serve on our Board of Directors and held the position of President for 3-Years. Of all the property management companies we have had over the years, Benchmark stands out as absolutely the best. I have always found them to be honest, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and responsive to our needs. When our community was devastated by Hurricane Wilma, Benchmark was there with their team of highly skilled and experienced professionals to help us put the pieces back together. They were instrumental in guiding us through the minefield of insurance adjusters and contractors. Recently, when the housing market collapsed and the economy followed, Benchmark was there again to help us face the mounting bank foreclosures and delinquency rates that rattled even the most seasoned professionals. While we are not out of the woods yet, I am confident that Benchmark will see us through again.”
Douglas Smith, President

“I am honored to be among those who choose Benchmark as their Property Management Team. I and other Board Members find that life without this TEAM would not be so tolerable. The assistance and immediate response to a question or “fix” or what is the other alternative is so readily solved as the experience of Benchmark speaks volumes. I take this opportunity to acknowledge their leadership, reputation, and style in which they present themselves and us.”
Trisha N., President

As president of our board, I’ve relied on Benchmark Property Management for advice as well as the complete management of our condo association.

The monthly financial statements are precise and up to date. This allows us to evaluate our status and conduct Condominium expenditures and address outstanding maintenance in a more efficient manner. Annual budgets are completed annually under the expertise of Bill Sugarman. His advise and diplomacy are invaluable. We owe the financial stability of our Condominium to the staff of Benchmark Property Management.”

“Serving as President for 3 years has remained possible only because of the overwhelming help, guidance and support from Benchmark Property Management.
A water main break on a holiday weekend in our parking lot resulted in panic and chaos. Our property manager responded to the scene during a tremendous rainstorm, entered the massive hole, and remained on site until the situation was under control.
No matter the issue, I want my property to have the comfort and peace of mind, of a hands on, in the trenches, management company ready to respond at a moments notice. Possessing “benchmark creditentials” in property management include knowledge of laws, statutes, and Governing Documents.
Without a doubt Benchmark Property Management has earned their name and excellent reputation in the business as a result of their unmatchable service and skills.”
Michelle Kurteff, President

“Benchmark Property Management has been the management company for French Villas of Lighthouse Point Condominium Association, Inc. since March 2006. In our case, the board of directors is extremely “hands on” and Benchmark’s management role provides valuable assistance to the Board in all areas.
Bill Sugarman has been particularly helpful to our Board in a wide variety of ways, but especially during our budget build-up for each coming year, providing on-site leadership at our annual Budget Meeting and our Annual Meeting, and sound advice on strategies to deal with challenging problems as they arise from time to time.
Sharon Sugarman Kasen has been supportive and professional in responding to situations where the Board must ensure our Association follows all rules and regulations of the State and those of our own documents, including times when the Board must make responses to owners’ concerns regarding actions taken by the Board.
Dan Sugarman demonstrates Benchmark’s excellent support services. His knowledge of operational issues is extensive.
Benchmark’s managers have been helpful to the Board in our management of the Association property, and contacting issues. They also maintain close communications each week with Board members, especially with the President of the Board.
Benchmark business center staff has provided comprehensive support related to all aspects of accounting and insurance matters to ensure our Association follows rules and regulations of the State and our own documents.
It has been the experience of the French Villas Condo Association Board that all staff at Benchmark has not only been helpful, but also a pleasure to interact and work with.”

They have been there to council and guide me throughout the process whenever I needed help, advice or whatever it may have been.

We have found Benchmark to be an honest, hard-working company with the highest standards of integrity and professionalism. During the years we have had countless contacts and interactions with virtually every employee at Benchmark, in person, by phone, mail, and now e-mail, from the owners to the clerical personnel, they have been eager to assist our Board in every way.
Our point person in day to day operations has been Dan Sugarman. He has been a strong and tireless ally and has worked side by side with us to solve some very difficult problems over many years. Dan is an extremely knowledgeable, true professional, willing and able to do whatever it takes to make things work, even on a 24/7 basis, if necessary.
Particularly noteworthy is the very important role Benchmark plays during the annual Budget process. The Budget Workshops held at Benchmark are tailored specifically to our property and the presentations are extremely detailed and useful in planning and arriving at a realistic Budget, especially in this economic environment.
We would not hesitate for one second to highly recommend Benchmark Property Management to any community.”

“Our building has worked with Benchmark Property Management since 2005.
Benchmark has always conducted business in a professional, efficient and timely manner.
Since they took over, our financial situation has taken a considerably positive turn. Always advising us of a better and more economical way to deal with building repairs, hurricane. Above all, I praise Benchmark’s team for being there when we most need them.
Benchmark has consistently handled all owners’ issues independently, to our great relief, but at the same time, they have never failed to communicate with the board of directors. I had never had any difficulty in contacting Benchmark; they were either in their office or would return my call the same day.
I would highly recommend Benchmark Property Management to anyone who needs a property management company. “
Neil Strickland , Board of Directors

“Over the years we’ve been bombarded by other management companies claiming how good their services are. My reply: How do you improve on the good service we now have?

I’ve been president nine of those years and find the service to be outstanding. The personnel are very professional, knowledgeable, courteous and most important…return my calls in a timely manner.
It’s a good relationship we have and I look forward to many more years working together.”

“I have been on the Board of Directors at the Isles of Boca Dunes 4 and at present I am on the Board of the Pines of Boca Barwood Condominium II. Between both associations I have had the pleasure of dealing with Benchmark Property Management for over twenty years.
During those years I have found them to be knowledgeable in condominium law; preparation of annual budgets; bookkeeping; attending meetings; responding to questions that the board or unit owners have had; conducting annual meetings and board elections. Are they 100% perfect – no. But are they knowledgeable, willing and able to assist the Board in every possible way – yes.
I would recommend Benchmark Property Management to any association that is looking for honesty and professionalism.”
