First Sanderson quietly backed away from this board like someone realizing they sat beside the loudest table in a restaurant.
Then Pretium arrives and appears to have adopted the same strategy: “Smile politely. Respond three weeks later. Avoid eye contact.”
At this point the board has the energy of that one customer service ticket nobody wants to pick up.
📉 Sanderson: “We are choosing not to renew.”
📉 Owners: “Wait… even the management company gave up?”
📉 Pretium: “Please hold. Your incompetence is important to us.”
You almost have to admire it.
It takes a special level of dysfunction for:
- owners to lose confidence,
- residents to openly mock governance,
- management companies to rotate faster than seasonal tires,
- and legal bills to become a lifestyle.
Meanwhile the board still acts like they are visionary leaders bravely steering the ship forward.
The problem is:
the ship is on fire,
half the crew resigned,
and the rescue boats are refusing to dock.
🚢🔥
At some point you have to ask:
If Sanderson dropped them like a sack of potatoes…
and Pretium acts like they accidentally inherited them in a probate dispute…
maybe – just maybe – the problem was never everyone else.
But don’t worry.
I’m sure the next management company will definitely enjoy inheriting:
- endless conflict,
- reputational damage,
- distrust,
- and a condominium community held together with passive aggression and legal invoices.
What could possibly go wrong?
