Melrose-Sovereign Companies Eye More Florida Growth as Community, Condominium Management Takes Center Stage


ORLANDO, FL --- The nation’s beleaguered housing industry has created growth opportunities for some specialty service companies, and Melrose-Sovereign Companies in Orlando ranks as one the most productive.

Melrose-Sovereign Companies formed four years ago from the merger of two entrepreneurial service companies that specialize in home owner and condominium association management.

Today, Melrose-Sovereign Companies manage properties for more than 170 developers, investors and owners from Fort Myers to Jacksonville, with more than 80 specialist employees who focus on personal attention and an eye for detail to keep both residential home owners and community developers happy.

Jack Hanson (top right photo), LCAM, co-founder and partner at Melrose-Sovereign Companies said growth in a recessionary market isn’t easy but it isn’t a struggle either.

“From day one we have focused on old school values,” Hanson said. “Today we live in a homogenized, computerized world where individuals are often overlooked or perceived as numbered accounts. Try to get a human being at your bank or on the telephone and you’ll know what I mean, and it’s even worse if you try to talk to someone at the telephone company,” he laughed.

“We focused squarely on personal attention and attention to detail,” said Ellen Lumpkin (lower left photo), co-founder and partner. “When our residents call, they get through to a human being who is able to listen to their concerns and respond positively with action, not just words,” she said.

“Community developers and condominium developers dealing with the chaotic market find Melrose-Sovereign’s turnkey community management services the perfect answer.” Lumpkin said.

“Their business model is focused on development, building, and sales,” Lumpkin said “So community management has usually been considered a moral and legal obligation and a sideline that was supported by revenues from sales,” she said.

“When sales activities are disrupted, it’s exceedingly difficult for a development company to refocus its business model to staff their community management offices appropriately and to manage communities cost effectively,” she said.

Enter Melrose-Sovereign Companies. With offices statewide, Melrose-Sovereign community management specialists can respond quickly and locally to resident issues.
