We also distribute community communications to make sure every homeowner stays informed.

Low-, mid- and high-rise

Not having to worry about facilities maintenance or equipment maintenance is a major reason why people choose to live in a low-rise, mid-rise or high-rise building. It’s our job to make sure your facilities are always in tip-top shape so that you can get the most out of them. We also know our way around all of those complicated condo laws, so that we can help you get answers to any question that may come up.

Active living keeps you young at heart! We can help provide the programming you demand from an active adult community, from fitness programs to educational seminars and activity planning.

We also offer other important benefits to all of the communities we manage, such as:

Financial Management

The financial health of your community is one of your most important concerns. That’s where we come in. Our finance and accounting experts will handle all of your financial reports and budget planning and assist your chosen accounting firm with tax preparation. We check and double check every transaction to make sure your board is always on budget.

Technology at Your Fingertips

Every community needs a central location where residents, board members and the management team can all access and share important information. Our proprietary FirstService Residential Connect™ software is just that place. It lets everyone in the neighborhood easily manage account balances, read board meeting minutes and download association documents. FirstService Residential Connect™ also allows managers to quickly alert residents about schedule changes, weather events or emergency situations. Our software truly brings the community together!

Customer Care Center  

Our 24/7 Customer Care Center is an around-the-clock resource for everyone living in your community. Our associates are always available to answer your questions and deliver world-class service to residents and board members. We work hard to solve your problem on the first call, every time, and we score very highly with our users in first-call customer satisfaction.

Cost Containment & Reduction

Because of our volume buying power, we are often able to negotiate lower banking rates and other pricing for our residents. We also audit your association’s budget to make sure your board is getting the best prices from suppliers and insurance carriers, while also ensuring that you’re getting the best coverage for your money.

Community Collection Services

Your association relies on homeowners to make timely dues payments in order to stay financially stable. When payments are late or delinquent, Community Collections Services (CCS) can effectively manage those accounts. CCS will employ best practices to notify homeowners and collect outstanding fees, including late notices and liens. CCS representatives keep open lines of communication with residents and board members so that all accounts have the chance to be brought back to good standing with the association.

Many developers in Delaware turn to FirstService Residential to help plan their projects. Our experts are involved in everything from planning amenities and reviewing site plans to evaluating safety and marketing strategies. We work hand-in-hand with architects, engineers and lawyers to make sure every project is done as efficiently and within budget as possible.
