Advanced Management of SW, FL, Inc. Reviews

Connie Farmer has been very helpful helping me deal with the ARC REQUEST for my property in the Bridgewater Community in Bradenton, Fl. I had been trying to get a a water issue resolved for over a month. She helped me expedite the process and got it approved today. I am so grateful for her time and efforts with this application!

Just went through a renewal of our HOA contract with AMI. Found that they provided services above the competition. Especially appreciate the property manager assigned to our account, Mitsy Bures. They have provided excellent service and assistance.

The relationship with Plantation Lakes and AMI seems to be in good shape. We really appreciate our liaison, Misty. She is Top Notch!

Our community has been with AMI since 1997. The property manager significantly impacts Homeowner satisfaction and our current manager, Misty, is excellent. She is organized, has great follow through, easily approachable and overall does a great job in helping our community! We are fortunate to have her on our team!

Misty Bures is very professional. She communicates clearly and is responsive to our questions. Misty is cheerful and positive. She is dedicated, even comes early to work to be able to drive around the neighborhood. She works weekends if there is a task to be finished. She is ethical & works well with difficult homeowners. She is always well groomed and nicely dressed. We Plantation Lakes homeowners are appreciative to have Misty as our manager after all the turnover in managers in the last yr. and a half. Towner and Marjorie Lapp

Very pleasant to work with Misty- she is always prepared and knowledgeable and great support to our association

AMI is our condo association management company. Misty Bures is our CAM. She and her assistant Valerie deserve a 4.5 rating. They are competent, professional and detailed oriented. It is a pleasure working with them.

Misty Bures has been the most proactive AMI PM we have had in a long time - Very knowledgeable and has our HOA in her best interest. It is a pleasure to working with her.

Misty responds exceptionally quickly. She knows the regulations. And the financials arrive shortly after month end

Misty always responds in a timely and professional manner.

I think Misty has been doing a great job since she joined Plantation Lakes as our manager. She works very hard End it really shows

We have worked with AMI as our HOA management company for over 6 years and have always been satisfied with our partnership. This past year Misty Bures, as our CAM and her team has guided us through one of the most turbulent, chaotic and challenging periods we have encountered. Her calm professionalism, knowledge, communication skills and transparency have kept the board up to date and ahead of anticipated issues. She has answered emails late as well as early (and on weekends!). If she doesn’t have the answer, she finds it…quickly. We try to be a self reliant board but for those issues that we …

Our manager, Misty Bures has done a great job for us this past year. For a new hire, she hit the ground running and has been a big asset for our Association!

Misty is a great manager for our HOA. She always follows through with our concerns and needs.

This is specifically for Misty Bures. I worked with her as a board member and she is very talented for diffusing difficult situations with homeowners as well as between board members. There isn’t anything to difficult to manage for Misty. Another highlight of working with Misty is that she is responsive in a timely matter. I don’t know how she juggles everything but we are blessed to have her as our AMI manager! Thank you! Mary Reeck

Misty with AMI has done a wonderful job. She responds to our inquiries in a timely manner. She always very professional and very articulate. This is our first year collaborating with her and she has learned her job very fast. We hope to continue working with her in the future

As the president of the Eighth Fairway Condominium Association, I have worked with Misty Bures for the past year. She has done an exemplary job in her duties. She is proactive in her approach, and her wealth of vendor knowledge has made our job much easier. I only wish my past work with property managers was as beneficial as working with Misty. Wonderful job.

I would like to recognize the outstanding work of Misty Bures, the CAM for Rapalo HOA. Misty consistently demonstrates professionalism, responsiveness, and a genuine commitment to the community. She is always approachable, communicates clearly, and handles concerns with efficiency and care. Her attention to detail and proactive approach have made a noticeable difference in how smoothly things run within the HOA. Whether addressing Board questions, homeowner inquiries and ensuring everything stays organized, Misty goes above and beyond.

Our HOA community has been through some trying times with management companies over the past five years, but we have finally found a good one in AMI. Misty Bures is a top notch Manager who follows through, is very knowledgeable and not only gets to meetings on time but is consistently earlier than she needs to be. Her team (Valerie, Michele and Glenda) is also very good and a pleasure to work with.

Misty is the best CAM I have ever worked with. She has a wealth of knowledge. She comes prepared to every meeting. Misty is a great resource for our HOA. Always a positive attitude and pleasant to work with!

Misty is our property manager. She does an amazing job. In 9 years at Estancias best property we’ve ever had.

Paula Santa Maria in the accounts receivable dept. at Advanced Management, Inc who services my condominium association in Longboat is an incredible employee that continually performs above expectation and is always willing to go the "extra yard" for clients....For several years now, due to Hurricanes causing extreme damage to my home, I have had several temporary addresses while still keeping up with monthly HOA fees & special assessments that have been levied to each home-ownero...At times this can be extremely difficult due to notification & payment time restraints etc.....Paula has always …

This is a SHOUT OUT TO CONNIE FARMER a true asset to the team of AMI I called with a problem and she took control of it immediately did not try to pass on found what the deal was and facilitated a solution. Thanks a lot CONNIE Good Looking

Connie Farmer has helped me several times with a problem. She listened, explained what will happen and helped me come to a resolution with her company. She is an excellent addition to AMI.

my fist time deal with an HOA management company, I think they suck. I filled out the autopay on my first payment stub paying for the year. they didn't set it up then fined me year later When i called they denied having paystubs i could of sent then. So i sent a picture of the book i had. She said that doesn't prove i did it. Calling me a liar then saying she didnt work here last year. Then i get a snarky 2nd notice email never receiving the 1st. Not only are they rude when addressing home owners. They went over budget, did work in the community most of us here think we didn't need and n…

I have always had great experiences with Connie Farmer, her responses are always in a respectful and reasonable time frame. She is my go to at AM of SW, Fl.

I have worked with Advanced Management Inc. for 15 years. They have always been professional and prompt in dealing with HOA issues. Our community manager, Eric Hagar, is always available by phone or email, and his knowledge of property management has been valuable to our board and our community.

As a member of the Board of Directors for the Ancient Oaks Homeowners Association, I have had the pleasure of working closely with Eric, Lynn, and Desiree from Advanced Management of SW, and I cannot say enough positive things about their team. They are consistently professional, highly knowledgeable, and extremely approachable. Whether an issue arises during the day, evening, or even over the weekend, they are always responsive and proactive in finding solutions. Their attention to detail, communication, and follow-through clearly reflect their dedication to serving their communities at the h…

Silver Lake Community HOA is horrible. We moved into this community under the premise it was gated, safe, and solicitor free, but after numerous idiots have broken the gate arm that raises and comes down after the metal gates open, instead of just having a metal gate that will detour poor drivers from breaking the useless flimsy gate arm we have been waiting nearly 2 years for "bids" according to Eric while every budget we see a small increase in HOA dues. It's really unacceptable. We now continue to live in an increasing less safe community, where solicitors are seen roaming our once safe ne…

Connie Farmer is an exceptional asset to both our condominium association and AMI. As the assistant to the property manager, she consistently demonstrates professionalism, competence, and a deep understanding of her role. She knows her job inside and out and, most importantly, she gets things done. Connie is efficient, trustworthy, and extremely reliable. When she says she is going to do something, it gets done, without excuses, delays, or the need for follow-up. That level of dependability is rare and invaluable in property management. I have said many times that if AMI did not have her, thi…

Our community has been working with AMI for over two years now. We had the pleasure of working with Connie Farmer, administrative assistant for most of that time. Connie is professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Excellent at her job. Our community is fortunate to have her.

I want to express how pleased we are with the outstanding service provided by AMI. The AMI team has demonstrated professionalism, responsiveness, and a genuine commitment to supporting our association. In particular, I would like to recognize Eric, our primary contact, for his exceptional support. He is always helpful, patient, and thorough—whether addressing day-to-day issues, guiding us through larger projects, or ensuring communication is clear and timely. His knowledge and follow-through have made a real difference in keeping our community running smoothly. It’s reassuring to know we have …

I live in a villa at Palm Aire @ Sarasota which is part of an HOA that is managed with the assistance of Advanced Management Inc. I am on the association's board and have enjoyed working with Eric Hagar and Lynn Mahoney both of whom are with AMI in their respective positions. Both are extremely knowledgeable of the rules and regs re HOA's and assist the association in multiple ways in helping the Board conduct its responsibility in serving the residents who are part of this association. They are easy to work with and always eager to serve the Board and residents of Condo B. They are certainly …

As President of Ancient Oaks homeowners association, I can tell you my experience with AMI, particularly Eric Hagar, has been great. While no company is perfect it is how they respond that matters. AMI has stood up and addressed any need that we have had and supported our community through good and challenging situations. In my opinion, AMI is a great Partner and i’m glad they are in our corner. Great work AMI. Thank you Eric for all you do.

"Smoke and Mirrors Management Company" is a more appropriate name. In my opinion the issues stem from the top of this company heavily influenced by our local board that hired this middleman. I'm also pretty sure any positive reviews are fake to offset the negative ones. There is no effective way to solve issues in any semblance of a timely fashion. It's like sending a request to a circular file or a bottomless pit. At first it may seem like they are helping, but ultimately nothing comes of it or incorrect thing is done. Information, if given, is vague at best and if lucky addresses maybe one q…

And zero stars!! Community: Woodbrook Way too many details to include. Apologies for not keeping this brief. Communication with this company can be beyond frustrating, repetitive, time consuming and stressful. Perhaps that is the point...so you as an owner give up. But my most recent experience with AMI representing the community Woodbrook is just plain bizarre. It all began when I reached out to one of my two contacts regarding ongoing landscaping/irrigation issues in common area. In this situation, the *Common area irrigation was running every day at 2 pm along my corner and all the way down…

I reside in Woodbrook and this management company is extremely incompetent! They are so interconnected with the HOA and don’t care about the current situations in our community. I would not recommend this management company to any community looking for a management company!

I have had the pleasure of working with Advanced Management for nearly a decade on behalf of our homeowners association, and I can’t say enough about their exceptional service. They handle all aspects and functions of our HOA in perfect coordination with the board of directors. From handling our Financial Management, Maintenance and Property Management, Communication and Resident Relations, and Legal and Regulatory Compliance. Advanced Management ensures everything runs smoothly. Their professionalism and commitment to our community truly set them apart. I highly recommend them to any homeow…

Misty Bures has been our AMI representative for the past year. She is professional and dedicated to our HOA. She answers our emails, phone calls as fast as possible. She has been a shining star in our small community. We have been so very fortunate to have Misty as our representative.

We are a small condo association of 90 units that has recently returned to AMI for our condo management after a long and sometimes rocky relationship with two other companies. The AMI staff has been very pleasant, helpful, knowledgeable and efficient. Our requests are handled quickly and emails are acknowledged in a timely manner. The office staff and manager assistant are always there to help when our senior manager is busy with other properties. The Finance department takes care of our bills and makes inquiries when necessary for verification. The transfer over for collection of resident mon…

I had notified the management company that my stepmom passed away and that as soon as I was appointed personal representative of her estate that dues and storm damage assessment would be paid after being granted access to their bank accounts. AMI had a lien placed on the property! When I drove down to Florida from Minnesota to try to resolve the issue after several voicemails went unanswered, I was turned away and told I'd have to go directly to their attorneys office! 1/8/24 Update. Still haven't been able to speak to anyone after leaving numerous voicemail including Mat Wilson company presid…

Our community has just switched to AMI I had a few questions regarding their web site logins and payment postings. Brenda was so helpful, explained different payment options and time for payment to post. Brenda called me back when my bill pay showed up. What a pleasure it was to speak with someone polite, positive and so helpful she’s the best.

I just moved into Sabal Bay and have had a great experience. Connie Farmer has been so helpful and responds to my inquiries in record time. I am so happy to be part of this community!

As a new homeowner, Connie Farmer of AMI has been very responsive to all of my inquiries. Of course, as a new resident, there are many questions. She gets me answers and provides services almost immediately. Thank you Connie for your professionalism and dedication to your customers! Glad you are here for us!

Connie Farmer is a excellent member of your staff. She listened to my complaints and tried to resolve the problem. She stayed in touch till I told her the problem fixed for now. Very helpful and a nice lady person.

Fantastic management company! Connie is extremely helpful with any questions and concerns I have. I always receive an email back from her within the same day helping me resolve any issues.

Advanced Management of SW, FL, Inc. (AMI) support the residents of different communities with respect, hardworking and dedicated support. At all times they treat us with respect. They are very truthful and honest employees.

I live in Creekwood and it's a great community The only downfall is we have AMI managing our HOA. They lose payments send out payment coupons late so now we have late fees and their representee at the meetings is very rude and unprofessional. I'm hoping in the near future we as a community can vote to find a new company and get rid of AMI

Living in the Meadows is a wonderful place to live. My biggest negative was AMI as our property management company and the property manager J. Thankfully our board fired AMI after years of slow service and questionable decisions. I’ve read the negative reviews and agree with their comments. Do yourself a favor and make sure to do your research if considering AMI.

I live in The Meadows and have exchanged emails with Julie Rose a few times. She is very prompt in her responses and willingness to answer and address my questions and concerns. I appreciate Julie and how kind and responsive she has been!

It's hard to begin describing how absolutely terrible the group of individuals who work here are. As a resident living in one of their communities, I am not shocked to see others who have reviewed here discuss similar issues in which I have experienced. No one in the office cares much about assisting community members with anything. Voicemails left go unanswered, emails unresponded and the front desk has admitted that several management team members screen calls and automatically send to voicemails. If you care about the people who live in your community, stay far away from this group. They re…

On a weekend we were having an emergency and I was able to reach our Community Association Manager. Eric Hagar called me back within a few minutes after calling AMI after hours. He insured me that a work order was created. He called me back the next day to let me know an update on my emergency. I am happy with the customer service AMI provides to its members. Thank you.

Hi Matt! It's impressive that it took you less than an hour to reply to my google review but L Blizzard still hasn't returned one of my 3 calls since December! Very on brand- as I had similar experiences with Rocco and Lynn (also your employees) being generally unhelpful. I'd call and tell you this, but no one answers the phone. I usually don't even leave bad google reviews, but this one is worth it and I know you'll actually see it! :) Our HOA switched management companies and are no longer with Advanced Management. I called AMI twice in December and sent a contact info form to make sure my …
