John and Jeannette at the Del Webb-Catalina neighborhood have been a pleasure to work with. We are just moving in and John and Jeannette have been a huge help with a few modifications we have been doing and our new neighbor has been doing. They provided us with both guidance and a very clear list of requirements to submit an ARC to the HOA for approval. Once we submitted the info, we heard back very quickly. They made the whole process very easy to navigate. We very much appreciate their help, which is saying a lot because a lot of people have concerns about working with the HOA. Not Joh…

My experience with Del Webb/Catalina was an excellent one from start to finish. The Access Management team, particularly Jeanette and John brought another level of quality and professionalism with all matters relating to helping settle and get acclimated into my new home and new community. Their follow up and follow through is quite exceptional. It's was/is a pleasure to work with both of them.

This is our experience: Management company, Pulte Group HOA member and Access Difference Community Manager in Del Webb Oak Creek exhibit lack of transparency with impacted homeowners, share confidential information with irrelevant parties, admit their inadequacies to address community situations within their purview, conspire with favored residents against other residents, set up arbitrary standards for certain residents over others, and use arbitrary standards for decision-making. Additionally, verbally supportive of bullying behaviors by some residents and relying on the same bullies for kee…

Brandon is the best . I am new to the community but the support I received as home owner was awesome. I had multiple calls/emails with him to clarify my questions . He was very patient in providing me all the details. He went above and beyond and exceeded expectations. Thank you Brandon for making my on onboarding smooth.

Vanessa Diaz-Hemmerick does an outstanding job managing Grand Palm Neighborhood #1. She is always available and happily and willingly has done whatever we have requested. Vanessa has excellent communication skills and follow-through. We are fortunate to have such a consumate professional.

Susan Chuisano is such a pleasant face at the front desk and around our "campus!" Susan is always so friendly and helpful and brings a lot of positive energy to the club house. She makes going there a pleasant experience for the homeowners and is aways willing to help. Donna and Mike Knapp

Patty Doll consistently demonstrates a high level of professionalism and support. She is readily accessible and has offered valuable guidance. Together with her assistant, Samantha (Sam) Brightman, Patty forms an outstanding team. Their contributions are greatly appreciated. Santa Margiotta previously served as our finance controller one year ago. After two subsequent controllers in the interim, she has now been reassigned to our account and we couldn’t be happier.

5.0★Oct 2025

4/16/26 Patty Doll our Manager is always moving us forward and keeping us on track with setting meeting dates, contracts, and also keeping us informed of any day to day issues. Patty is always accessible to the Board for any question whether it is a phone call or email. 4/1/26 Santa Margiotta our Accountant is also excellent in making sure our financials are always on time. She always makes herself available for questions not only for the Board but will also attend a Board Meeting when requested. Also she has given the Board good banking information related to our reserves.

Doesn’t address any issues promptly in my HOA. Irrigation main break for 2 weeks, any help? Nope. Every respond? Nope.

I am a home owner at the Del Webb Bayview community in Parrish, Florida. I spoke with Susan Chuisano this afternoon. I had a couple of questions that had to be answered right away and Susan came through just great. My concerns and questions were answered by Susan within the hour. It’s great to work with individual(s) who care about what matters most to the others. In the future , I’ll request to work with her for any future problems I may have.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Alex Villalobos for excellent customer service regarding a clerical issue regarding our HOA balance. We reached out, provided documentation and within 15 minutes Alex had resolved the issue and immediately contacted us to inform us that it was corrected. Very professional and pleasant to work with during a stressful matter.

5.0★Sep 2025

Julia helped me understand why I was late with a payment when I didn't even know what it was for and gave me the information for me to mail it in. Under the circumstances, I do object to a $10 late fee but that is not her doing. Just another way to add a few dollars to the pot.

It has been a pleasure to collaborate with Access Management and their dedicated team in our Pulte communities. We've consistently been impressed by their commitment to excellence and their high standards of service. A special thanks to Tim Gesing, Corporate Director of Lifestyle and marketing. His deep understanding of community engagement and his strategic oversight ensure that every project is a success. I also want to specifically commend two of their lifestyle directors: • Sue Lytle at DW Bayview: Sue's dedication is truly unmatched. Her ability to plan and execute a wide range of engagi…

Thank you to Vanessa, our Grand Palm N1 on site Property Manager for being accessible & for the assistance she provides, esp with website access & technical matters. Most recently, she resolved a recurring Irrigation Issue with our landscape provider.

5.0★Aug 2025

Rhiannon is EXCEPTIONAL .. she could not be more customer focused, friendly, courteous, knowlegeable, responsive, et al . .. . a role model others could learn from. She has the rare ability to leave her cusomers (homeowners) believing she is sincere and really does care about the issues we bring to her. She goes above and beyond . .. not just to solve the issue at hand, but she recognizes when/what issues need to be improved so our problems can be PREVENTED from happening over and and over and over again. She.s a 20 on a scale of 1-10!!

They go above and beyond for property management!

I am on the HOA Board and Architecture Committee. I regularly work with Hope Root and Rhiannon Santos-Meyer. They are extremely knowledgeable on HOA rules and regulations and is very helpful on guidance in decision making. They are very much appreciated in making my job on the board easier. They are professional and continually remind me when Homeowners are waiting for me to contact them, they are always working for the benefit of our Homeowners.

I've been a member of our community for over ten years. For the first several years as a volunteer interacting with our management company as necessary. then I became a member of our HOA board to continue to serve our community. Ever since I began as a volunteer I have interacted with our CAM, Hope Root for answers to my questions and guidance in carrying out my community involvement. Hope has always been there to guide me with the best interests of our community in mind. Any community would be fortunate to have a CAM with the level of commitment Hope shares with ours.

5.0★Aug 2025

Access management has made tremendous strides in the level of Service provided to the Bayside community. Their financial reporting, timely responses are at a very professional level. Our Property Manager Hope Root does an excellent job and represents Access Management very well.

Sue was great on helping out to fill necessary forms for my ARC approval of bushes on the side of my house.

Hope does such a great job for us. Not sure what we would do without her. So knowledgeable and great for our board. LV

I really appreciate the prompt, polite and efficient service I always receive from Patty Doll and Sam Brightman. They are very hardworking. Thank you.

5.0★Aug 2025

We have been trying to get approval to put a pool in. The process is a bit complex but we have diligently tried to comply. I was just notified we missed the cutoff for the August ARC meeting which is extremely disappointing. Some of what is outstanding is: -approval from our neighbor to use one foot of their yard. The house is for sale and whoever is in charge of signing off is refusing to sign off because of that. -we gave completed forms 30 days ago and now were told they are not in the system so I have had to secure them again. There should be flexibility since the above is out of my contro…

Access Management has been terrific managing our condo in Sarasota. Nicole is an incredible professional, on top of everything, and super helpful. Kurtis keeps the place running smoothly and Ray is an extra pair of hands whenever needed. The most remarkable thing is how friendly everyone is. The condo association is only two years old and Nicole, Kurtis and Ray already feel like family. Bravo to the team.

You guys take a beating in the reviews but my experience has been amazing. You respond to emails quickly and just approved my application to modify my home in 1 business day. So far I am very pleased and hope you keep up the good work.

5.0★Jul 2025

Best way to assess Access management? I look no further than Patti Doll. As a client, I've tested her resolve, and her response time, attention to details and ability to address any concern have gone above and beyond. Thank you, Patti!

5.0★Jun 2025

I have been a Board member of an HOA in Nokomis for 8 years and now it’s President. I have always found Patty Doll from Access Management to be an outstanding asset not only to Access Management but, to our Association as well. She has always been there for us with very professional guidance and assistance.

Santa Margiotta has been exceptional in supporting our condo association. Her quick replies and effort to help us manage all aspects of our finances is a breath of fresh air and making our lives better. A very professional committed professional.

Thanks to Hope, Santa , and Rhiannon who assist me in my Role as the Pres of my HOA. We are very happy with their expertise and services to the board members and our residents . BRAVO to ACCESS for these folks !!!!

1.0★Feb 2025

Unprofessional and Non-Compliant with Florida HOA Laws If you are considering Access Residential Management, be aware that they fail to comply with Florida law regarding HOA record requests. Per Florida Statutes Section 720.303(5), HOA members are entitled to access financial records within 10 business days of a written request. While various board members have been requesting these records for the past six months, I personally mailed my formal records request on January 17th, 2025, and they still have not provided all the required documents. Specifically, they have failed to produce the fro…

I previously left a review praising Lucy for her excellent assistance during my last visit. I'm unsure if she is still at this location. My experience this time: Minimal follow-up on my previous communications regarding the double deduction of my HOA payments. I've left three messages and submitted an online request for a callback, but the response I've received has been less than satisfactory. I was contacted by a receptionist, who was very courteous but unable to assist me, as I needed to speak directly with the accounting department. After being transferred, I once again reached voicemail…

1.0★Oct 2024

If I could give -100 stars I would. Does this place even have actual employees or exist? No one calls back after leaving numerous voicemails & no one responds to emails - for MONTHS. I even sent a handwritten letter begging for someone to contact me regarding questions I have on 2 properties I own and no one bothered to call/email me back. I know they got the letter because they cashed the check I sent with it! Worst HOA management company I’ve ever dealt with when it to basic communication. I can’t even get them to update my billing address. Only communication I received was a collections l…

Ivelisse Diaz is the CAM for our community called Willowbrook in Sarasota. I have been very impressed with Ive as she is a relatively new CAM for us. She is professional, communicative, very responsive, readily available, punctual and has excellent follow up skills. We just went through our draft budget review for Willowbrook and it was actually pleasurable. Seamless. Without any prompt from me, Ive worked behind the scenes to secure any increases with our service contracts in place. She then added those increases to the budget spreadsheet so that we could view all line items with accuracy and…

1.0★Aug 2024

By far the worst management company I've seen! They are on top of your head as a homeowner over the simplest things, miss a payment and they are on your back! Mind you I've never missed one but when they switched over to a new portal they failed to update information and sent me notices even tho I was all payed up!! Anything you do is documented and noticed sent.... But on the flip side their end of responsibility is neglected! We had in issue with a broken fence in the back of the community near our mailbox, took over a month for them to fix it. We have mold/algae building up all over t…

1.0★May 2024

They do nothing. I could list a grocery list but just trust me, they do nothing. They will not call you. But they have no problem, taking your money. As soon as our community gets power to take over the HOA board, they are so fired! UPDATE 2/25/25 your company still sucks. You are full of excuses. Our community pays YOU dues every month like clockwork. If we are late (which we never have been) you charge extra fees. Your staff is constantly turning over, so we deal with new people continually. You are merely administers of OUR community funds and you act like dictators. You are SO FIRED when …

Developers and owners: AVOID THIS COMPANY. Several overcharged/incomplete work items with no return calls. The homeowners are charged between $4-8 thousand dollars a month for pond cleaning doesn’t it look great? The mosquitos love it for sure. Access (who you pay to manage properties ) will not email or call you back for months. No idea where your money goes, no one cares.

5.0★May 2024

I have delt with other management companies in years past and there were always issues with communication. We purchased a condo in Venice, FL. in February of this year. We entered into a complete disorganized association management company that was in the process of being fired. We now know the reason. I called a number given to me that was becoming our new Association Management Company called Access Management. The person Vanessa Diaz- Hemmerick I spoke with was a complete God Send!! Vanessa could tell that I was not happy having been told by previous people to basically solve my own problem…

Kerry Evans has been a tremendous help to me over the last week. Although she is new to managing my community, she has been thorough and has always responded in a timely fashion. Highly recommend !!

5.0★May 2024

Vanesa Diaz-Hemmerick has helped up on numerous occasions. She just helped us get into the new portal to setup our HOA payment. It was frustrating without her kind help.

We've used Access for years and they've never let us down! Aneysha in Billing is FANTASTIC and always SUPER helpful!

5.0★Mar 2024

I have been dealing with this company for a bit for two properties with some frustration. Today I spoke with Aneysha in accounting. She was simply phenomenal and deserves a raise!

1.0★Jan 2024

ZERO STARS do not recommend this company as an owner. Left multiple phone messages and numerous without any response. Paid thousands of dollars that unaccounted for. If you are considering hiring this management company I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you choose another company.

5.0★Dec 2023

I've called several times with questions about paying my quarterly and master association fees online. I have spoken with Rossie C. in accounting on several occasions and she is always kind, patient and helpful. She always answers my questions and helps me get my payments squared away. She's a pleasure to talk to!

1.0★Oct 2023

If I could leave zero stars, I would. This company manages my community, Coddington in Bradenton, FL. As one of the first people to close in this new community I was not provided with HOA documents. I received the documents only after receiving a violation letter for screening my front door area. Several other homeowners in the community also received the same letter. After trying to speak with them and the lawyer that they were so quick to hire it is apparent that they have complete disregard for the community and residents. They only respond when the subject is of their concern regardi…
