Diversified Property Management

This is the second review I have written today for a company. The first one was for a restaurant that provided me with what I perceived as subpar service. Those are easy, we all have time to be constructive. But do we all stop to say thank you or express appreciation when things go the way we want? I admit, I don’t always but I decided to today.
First off, I’m not a plant as some may perceive based on my review and ranking of Diversified Property Management. Instead I am a happy resident with the support I get from Diversified Property Management Company.
I have lived in a community managed by Diversity Property Management for 4 years. I had those same concerns of, «what do they do, where does my money go to?» Rather being ignorant to these things, I chose to educate myself as to what a covenanted community does and what they cant. I don’t blame the management company for the legally filed rules such as covenants and architectural guidelines I’m required to follow and Diversified is contracted to follow and enforce. They can’t waiver from these. If I don’t like them, I have the choice to vote for a change, this is my right as a homeowner. If I can’t do this, I leave. Better yet, if I don’t like these, I do not choose to live in a covenanted community where you are contractually obligated to follow the guidelines set by the community, not the property management company.
So what does Diversified Property do in my community? They keep us aligned they educate us not only on what we should be doing but other things that can support our community, they come up with ideas and support activities, they treat our community as if it’s theirs. Don’t know this personally? Maybe try having a conversation with them, maybe go to your community’s board meeting to meet the board that enforce these rules you agreed to by moving into the community. Diversified, takes calls from residents unhappy for being fined or sent notices over an infraction. Yes there are rules, it’s a covenanted community. I attribute this to also seeing my house value increase faster than the Colorado Springs average over the last two years. How do I know this, I took the time to review the governing documents of my community including the enforcement policies. And when I read these, I don’t see Diversified names, I see this all written and filed by the community, the volunteer board. I also attended board meetings to ask questions.
If you are upset about something that Diversified Property says or does, talk to the board of your community. Diversified works for them (meaning you), they follow the covenants of your community which are legal documents which also means they can’t change, vary unless the community you live in votes to change them.
Sorry if my positive review comes across as a rant. After reading a few reviews based on what I can only assume is ignorance or a lack of following rules that you legally agreed to follow by moving into a covenanted community. It makes me question who actually wants to understand vs. who just wants to complain and picks a contracted company to place the blame.
Diversified Property, thank you for what you all do. I have enjoyed meeting a few of you when I have gone my community’s activities and to my communitiy’s board meetings where I look to learn.

Now HOA dues are $ 175 and the attention that our property receives continues to decline all the while dues continue to go up (up from $ 100). There has been a dead tree behind my house for months, and it has even been washed out of the ground and is laying on its side roots exposed and all. The water has been cut off to about half of the grass areas so what once was a beautifully landscaped place to live is slowly and surely becoming brown and ugly.
It is really frustrating. I can’t wait to live somewhere without an HOA or at a minimum, one that’s run by Diversified Property Management.

This group of souless creeps have nothing better to do then harass people to benefeit there pockets and will not do anything to help fix a situation. A complete group of Nazis that belong in the gutter. Do not conduct any buisness with these dirt balls.

Shayne has to be the most unprofessional, rude and inappropriate woman I have ever met. Stay away from any complex that is run by Diversified Properties and Shayne.
