Collins Management, ACMC Expands into Marin County

With recent consolidation in the industry, Collins Management, ACMC recognized the need to expand its presence in the Marin market. This spring the company opened a new office in Novato at 7250 Redwood Blvd, Suite 300, adding to its existing corporate offices in Hercules and satellite offices in Walnut Creek and Brentwood. Although Collins Management has been serving communities in Marin for many years, the company wanted to establish a brick-and-mortar presence staffed with local professionals to provide the highest level of service possible. “We wanted to establish a bigger footprint in the Marin market to fill the void left by other firms leaving the market,” said CEO Paul Collins, CAMEx, CCAM. “We are confident that with our local presence and team of experienced professionals, we can provide Marin communities with the highest level of service possible.” Leading the charge in Marin is Jessica Roberts, CCAM, a Novato resident who has been named Marin Regional Manager. Roberts brings many years of experience providing white glove service to high-end communities, and she will bring that same level of service to the region. She will be supported by Melanie Malik, CCAMPM, Chief of Operations, who has many years of experience developing the Marin market for other management companies.

Members Making Their Voices Heard

It’s been a busy spring with several CID bills coming up for hearings. CACM members Nicole Vanwig, CCAM, and Becky Jolly, CCAM, community managers with OMNI Community Management, LLC, ACMC both testified at committee meetings in favor of AB-1458. The bill, supported by CACM, would lower the quorum threshold to 20 percent upon failure to obtain quorum the first time around for board of director elections. Also recently testifying was Kelly Zibell, CCAM, former community manager and founder of Divergent Consulting Group, who spoke in favor of AB-648, the meetings by teleconference bill, which would authorize a board meeting or a meeting of the members to be conducted entirely by teleconference if the same conditions are satisfied that exist for teleconferencing under a state of emergency. We’re grateful for our members’ participation in the lawmaking process and volunteering their time to ensure that the community management industry’s voice is considered when new legislation is introduced.

CINC Offers Contract Management Automation

CINC Systems recently released RevStream, a tool that automates management contracts. RevStream allows management companies to automatically track all agreements, general ledgers, and expenses within CINC. While CINC has offered the automation of contracts via addendum billing for several years, the organization is now adding revised reporting capabilities to improve the experience for the executive. Through this feature, executives will see a clear view of where the bulk of their revenue generates and where they have missed an opportunity. One of the key benefits of RevStream is that it automates invoice creation. After services that should be billed are rendered, invoices are automatically created and posted, which allows management companies to get paid without having to ask. RevStream also offers addendum billing features. Itemized invoices and other billing features, such as per unit and assessment charges, are fully automated. “We understand that management companies have a lot to handle, and the details behind every relationship are extensive,” said Ryan Davis, Chief Executive Officer of CINC Systems. “That’s why we’ve created RevStream - to automate contract management and ensure that all billable work is accounted for and collected.”

River City and MasterCraft Join Forces

Northern California companies River City Restoration Inc. and MasterCraft Painting, Inc. have joined forces to offer multi-family and residential property maintenance. “We will now be known as River City Reconstruction and Painting,” the company said on social media. “All staff will be working side by side to offer combined wood repair and painting services for all your property’s needs. We are confident that we will have a smooth transition and that daily operations for our existing clients will continue uninterrupted.”
