Beth Callans Management Celebrates Its 10th Year!
06-Mar-08
 
Beth Callans Management is celebrating their 10th Anniversary this year.  Since opening her first office at the Northern Trust Bank building on Bay Isles Road in 1998, Beth has expanded the company from a few associations on Longboat Key to over 80 associations spanning from Palmetto to Venice.

Now located at the Mediterranean Plaza on Bay Isles Road with over 180 employees, Beth strives to still "meet and exceed the client's expectations".  BCM's first contract, Portobello Owners Association on Longboat Key and first employee, Bennie Snodgrass, are still part of BCM 10 years later.

Hurricane Season is almost upon us and Beth Callans Management is being proactive with finalizing procedures for each individual property.

Beth Callans, Brittany Hines, and Kevin Jakub have been conducting meetings with Portfolio Managers and Onsite Managers updating staff of new procedures set by the county and verifying the procedures set are up to date.

BCM suggests that owners view our Helpful Info page on suggestions for closing up their units before leaving for the summer.

We hope that all of our owners make it safely to their destinations and wish them a wonderful, cooler summer.
