I am on the Board of an 11 unit HOA in Santa Monica - we have been with Allstate Management since 2012 and are very content and happy with every email or phone call.

We Board members are all volunteers and it is so important to find a management company that makes things EASIER for us to get details accomplished. And even though we are a small HOA, we still seem important to them! Our prior management company was so slow to communicate and shockingly rude as well - so we made the effort to search for a new company. We Interviewed Ben Bar and also talked with David Bar and the decision was a no brainer.

After five years of excellent service and genuinely nice customer service, I am happy to recommend Allstate Management. Here are the folks that I deal with and who all deserves loud applause, Ben and David, Benjamin, and Sam. Really, all these folks are amazing and make my job as board member so much easier - my emails are returned promptly and they have given us solid advice on many issues: from roof leaks to understanding the liability of uneven concrete walkways (what is considered reasonable vs what needs to be fixed) to referrals for restating our CC&Rs.

If you are reading this, you should just give them a call and see for yourself.
