Walden Three Condominiums, Guilford, CT

To Whom It May Concern:

Fifteen years ago Walden Three, our fifty-four unit condominium, was in serious trouble. We were in debt and sorely in need of knowledgeable leadership. This situation had been caused, in part, by poor, irresponsible management and the inexperience of our volunteer board members. Steven Margolis came to our rescue in 1991 as our Property Manager and is still with us today.

Under his management we have accomplished a great deal in the area of capitol improvements and have done much to modernize our thirty-year old community. We have replaced our oil burners and our in-ground fuel tanks (before they started to leak) with above ground installations. We have also installed a water main, converting our water supply from our private wells to the public water supply and we have replaced roofing and repaved our roads and driveways. We borrowed a large sum of money and took care of a lot of deferred maintenance issues. Today we have a healthy Reserve Fund and a long range Capital Improvement Plan in place which we are confident will serve us well in the future, and allow us to plan for the regular maintenance of our property.

Equally as important as Steve's leadership in our financial security has been his exceptional ability to work with our Board members and owners, helping us to solve day-to-day problems. He is always available, ready to listen to and work with us, whatever the challenge.

Today the residents of Walden Three are proud of the community and lifestyle we enjoy, in large part as the result of the efforts of our Property Manager, Steven Margolis.

To Whom It May Concern,

I am quite honored to compose a letter of reference for Steve Margolis.

I have resided at a property managed by Steve Margolis for nearly nineteen years. During these years, Steve has consistently been very responsive to inquiries and requests.

A few years back I joined the Association Board of Directors. While I had no major dispute with the Board's performance, I was sure that my participation would lead the group to new greatness. It was during this time that I really learned about humility, leadership and integrity- by observing Steve.

Steve receives people and ideas warmly and respectfully. He is able to separate and focus on important issues while making all contributors feel valued and appreciated. His judgment is sound and his style is gentle but decisive. I truly believe that character such as his is the quality most important in a leader/manager.

It has been Steve Margolis who has provided stability and guidance to our community for more that twenty years. Residents have come and gone but Steve has remained; committed to our community and dedicated to our residents and for this I am grateful.

Sincerely,

Martha M. Smith

To Whom It May Concern:

I have known Steve Margolis for almost seven years and have worked closely with him as a Board member of the Copper Hill Village Association for the past two and a half years. He has managed our community since 1988.

I have found Steve to be extensively knowledgeable in his capacity as Community Association Manager for our organization. He is conscientious and works with Board members and especially unit owners to promptly respond to any queries they may have and follows up with any decisions of action that may have to be taken. He conducts frequent on-site inspections to record what issues have to be addressed at our monthly Board Meetings.

Steve is an extremely capable individual who always exhibits a professional demeanor which allows him to work successfully with anyone. I strongly recommend him to any organization that could use his specialty skills.
