We understand co-ops and property management. We understand the power and opportunity of residents joining together to own their community. We understand how excellent management helps a board have an effective relationship with its members. We are committed to providing excellent service to our clients and to supporting the growth of Resident Owned Communities across the US.

About Us

We understand property management. We understand the power and opportunity of cooperation. Experience has taught us that excellent management is critical to a board’s ability to effectively serve its members. We are committed to providing excellent service to our clients and to supporting the growth of these Communities across the U.S.

Expert Partners in Property Management

These communities need to do two things very well: they need to be well-run businesses, and they need to be successful community organizations. We help you effectively and efficiently operate your business so your community can thrive.

Community-Focused

Residents and non-profit organizations joining together to own their community is a powerful thing. The Common Good team will manage the many details of running the business side of things so the board and members can focus on making the community the best it can be.

Flexible Customer Service Approach

Service is a core value for Common Good that is built on genuine respect for people. While much of our work will be in relationship with the Board and non-profit owners, our service approach extends to every resident. All our systems, practices and internal training programs are built around the question, “What will be best for the resident and for the community?”

Sustainable Success Across the U.S.

The resident and non-profit owned community movement is built on the success of all existing and new communities. Common Good’s services will be customized to meet each community’s needs. Our goal is to work in concert with all network support to bring the best value to our clients and provide excellent property management services to resident and non-profit owned communities anywhere in the U.S.
