FAQ — NYC Co-op & Condo Property Management Search
What is a property management search service?
A property management search service helps your co-op or condo board find and hire the right property management company for your building.
Unlike property management firms, we don’t manage your property — we guide your board through a structured, unbiased process to compare NYC’s top management firms, evaluate proposals, and negotiate fair terms.
How is The Folson Group different from other property management companies?
We’re not a property management company — we’re independent consultants who work for the board, not the managers.
Because we’ve worked with nearly every firm in the city, we know each company’s strengths, weaknesses, and fit for different building types.
Our goal is to find the right match for your board, not to sell you management services.
Why do NYC co-op and condo boards hire The Folson Group for property management searches?
Boards hire us when they’re frustrated, burned out, or ready for a change — but don’t have time to vet multiple firms on their own.
We handle everything from shortlisting qualified management companies to managing interviews and contracts.
Our team are coop owners and board members ourselves, so we know exactly what you’re going through.
What types of buildings do you help?
We help NYC co-op and condo boards across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Westchester.
Whether your building has 4 units or 400, we tailor the search to your size, service expectations, and financial goals.
How long does the property management search process take?
Most searches take between 6–8 weeks from discovery to final contract.
We move as quickly as your board is ready to — while ensuring every proposal, reference, and negotiation is handled professionally and thoroughly.
