Target Markets Planned Companies has enjoyed fruitful business relationships with some of the largest multi-family building management companies in the US for decades. Our clients depend on us to provide well trained, neatly uniformed, and pleasant staff to handle their building service needs. We strive to deliver personal service, like a local vendor, our size allows us to support multiple properties in different states. Aside from multifamily buildings, we also have long experience working with Condo/HOA properties. Working with a Homeowners Association is different than for example a management company in that we’re dealing directly with the owners who have their own high standards that we are committed to meet. Commercial properties have different requirements from residential buildings. Services are typically performed “off-hours” and security, janitorial, maintenance & front desk requirements are more unique to each property. Planned also provides quality real estate services to churches and schools.
