About Waccamaw Management
Management Philosophy
Includes engaging, dismissing, training, and supervising the association’s maintenance personnel, establishing job descriptions and maintenance schedules, and making regular physical inspections of the property. Maintenance employees must provide documentation of legal status, undergo a SLED background check, and must pass a drug screening test.
Waccamaw Management maintains a working relationship with area landscaping and horticultural experts for advice and any special needs in the care of the property.
Commitment
Our leadership position in the Association Management Industry has been earned through our commitment to professionalism, integrity, innovation, and dedication to ensure the success of our Client Communities. Our attention to detail, availability, and timely response to inquiries, reporting, and physical maintenance of your community are keys to our success.
The underlying success of our company resides with the individual success of our Waccamaw Team members. Waccamaw Management, LLC requires all Managers to be CAI/NBC-CAM certified with a minimum designation of CMCA (Certified Manager of Community Associations). Many of our Managers are certified AMS’s (Association Management Specialists) and several of our Managers are PCAM’s (Professional Community Association Managers), the highest level of certification. Waccamaw Management fully supports all employees’ continuing education efforts. We provide our team members with competitive pay and benefits and mentor them with executive and management team support. Waccamaw is a learning organization, constantly pushing to improve. One of the ways we do this is to underwrite the expense of our staff’s continued education and the cost of membership in professional organizations, coursework, and conferences. Staff meetings are held monthly with professionals and service providers, keeping us at the forefront of changing trends and new technology. We even offer a “board member boot camp” with local attorneys to assist the board with a basic understanding of their legal responsibilities and liabilities.
