CMI

CMI is an Oregon Corporation headquartered in Portland Oregon. Kaye Youngren, its C.E.O. and Owner founded the company in 1972 under the name of Condominium Management, Inc. Since its original formation CMI has been registered to do business in the State of Washington. The name of the company was changed in 1993 to Community Management, Inc., to more accurately reflect the broad base of clients CMI serves.

Your Community – Our Commitment

Your Community – Our Commitment is more than just words to CMI’s staff members. CMI has been a pioneer in meeting the ever-changing needs of community association. From single-family homeowners’ associations to, townhouse developments to, sophisticated high-rise buildings and everything in between – CMI is here to serve Your Community.

Cutting Edge Maintenance Programs

We take a great deal of pride in the fact that each of our Associations is very well maintained. In 1993 the CAI Oregon Chapter initiated a Community Association of the Year Award for Oregon communities (planned unit developments, condominium and townhouses). The award is given to one association in each of four size categories. Physical plant maintenance was an important consideration in the judging of the awards. Annually, we submit applications for this award on behalf of several of our clients. We are very proud to be able to say that our clients have been selected for this coveted award in each of the last 15 years!

Full Service Company

Responding to the ever-changing needs of our clients has been the hallmark of CMI’s growth. In 1981 we created a maintenance division. We then became a registered general contractor. In 2004, we expanded beyond maintenance and began offering other services, such as concierge staff, to our clients. Community Management Inc Services Division (CMISD) is a service division of Community Management, Inc., and provides a wide scope of services to our client communities ranging from changing a light bulb to major construction repairs. Uniformed, courteous technicians provide emergency response service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our mission is to provide timely, professional, and cost-conscious services to our clients. So whether it is a concierge program, maintaining your swimming pool or spa, having your parking lot or gutters cleaned, or rebuilding a deck, CMISD is here to serve your community.

Active In Trade and Professional Organizations

CMI has been an enthusiastic affiliate in Community Associations Institute (CAI) since the founding of the Oregon – CAI Chapter in 1981. CAI is a national organizations of community managers and Board members. CMI is a founding member of Oregon Washington Community Managers Association (OWCAM) an inter-state trade organization that furthers professional and ethical service and education to community managers among community managers.

A CMI Community Manager was the founding delegate who was instrumental in forming the Legislative Action Committee (LAC) for Oregon-CAI. This group works closely with the legislature on matters of significance to our homeowners associations, and to those of us that work in to the community association industry field. CMI is also active in the “working group” of professionals who have organized to participate in legislative issues in Oregon that relate to our industry.

As part of our participation in both OWCAM and CAI, CMI proudly subscribes to their Codes of Ethics as a demonstration of our commitment to the highest standards of honesty and integrity.

Continual Staff Education

CMI invests heavily in the continuing education of its community mangagers. Our community managers attend accounting classes at Portland Community College. We have found this education to be very valuable in training our managers to analyze client’s financial reports. Additionally, as part of our commitment to excellence, our Community Managers (as well as several of our staff members) attend local, regional and national seminars and classes sponsored by our trade organizations; this keeps us on the cutting edge of changes within our industry.

Professional Credentials

Several of CMI’s community managers have obtained CAI’s highest designation Professional Community Association Manager (PCAM). Our remaining Community Managers are studying for their PCAM designations as well. In 2001 CMI was awarded the coveted CAI designation of Accredited Association Management Company (AAMC). CMI is one of the only management companies in the State of Oregon to be granted this designation. To learn more about designations see CMI’s national website here: calonline.org

testimonials

“The property management team is unbelievably responsive and helpful. We really appreciate them!” - Kimberly G.

“My experience with Community Management Inc has been completely positive. I have moved several times in my life and this has been by far the easiest and most responsive management firm I've come in contact with. They were helpful while I was considering my purchase and trying to collect information and have also helped with any questions or concerns as a new resident. I have found them to be very prompt, responsive and professional. This is the best management company I've experienced in the past several years of condo association living.” - Carolyn W.

“CMI manages the building in which my business is and they are great. They are friendly, attentive, and our HOA dues aren't high so they must be reasonable.” — Erica L.

“CMI's support for Benson Towers has been outstanding. I've experienced other HOA's over the years and CMI’s professionalism, communication and focus on security has been nothing short of stellar. Thank you for all that you do!” - Frank S.

“I’m writing to let you know that residents have approached me recently with some common observations: appreciation for how well our custodial crew is taking care of our building and how responsive CMI and the Board have been during the pandemic. I thought everyone should know how appreciative our residents are, especially in these unprecedented times.” - Vicki B.

“Being a condo management company for a condo HOA is not an easy job, condos have diverse sets of owners all with very distinct needs, so you cannot make everyone happy. CMI tries. I've worked with several Oregon condo management companies, for the size of communities it serves, I would readily choose CMI over its competitors. CMI was professional throughout multiple big community issues in our association, always ready to serve, no matter changes in HOA boards or HOA directions. They were quick to adjust. They were standout in helping contact owners during an late hour gas emergency. I particularly appreciate their web portal meets everyday owner needs. When looking at reviews, it's hard to separate decisions of association boards from their association management company. CMI and its team, new or old, are consistently kind, consistent, hardworking, and knowledgeable. I would recommend any association consider working with them.” - Christopher C.

“Community Management, Inc. (CMI) has been managing our assn. for two years now and they have done a fantastic job! It's hard to find a company with their experience and skills; when you do, I don't mind paying a little more to keep the excellent expertise that they provide. There are always penny pincher owners in an association, but you get what you pay for, like invoices not being paid and budgets that aren't followed -- it can be a real nightmare!! I never heard of CMI until I started a mission to locate a new management company -- they stood out with with outstanding reviews. Plus the people are extraordinarily nice and they managed a terrific conversion that resulted in a far better accounting system post-conversion. I highly recommend CMI!
