I'm thinking about including them in a bid for a management role.
We used JRD several years ago. We fired them after less than a year. We went through three property managers in that time. One of them took far too many liberties running the building (without consulting the board). We lost a lawsuit in part -- but maybe only a quarter part; there were other issues -- because of this person.
After hiring a new mgt co, we didn't get all of our records back.
There were no financial irregularities, however, and I can't imagine that the same property mgr still works for Maxx.
If it's a new company, it may be just fine. As I mentioned, this example is from several years ago.
any bad experiences with Century?

Maxx was our managing agent for 7 years. Once they took over, they really got our building into shape. The property manager worked closely w/ our super (who complained a lot but he needed a babysitter), and the account executive assigned to our property always replied to questions or problems from board members and residents promptly. We'd still be with them if it wasn't for their new $25K minimum management fee (nearly 40% increase over what we were paying).
