“I did not run for another term on the board of the homes association — six years was enough — so I am no longer the Board President. I did want to thank Sequoia for all the work Larry Gilbert, Vanessa Lopez, and Rosemary Aruajo have done for us over the past three years. I have appreciated Larry’s vast experience, sound judgment, and sense of humor. Vanessa is helpful, especially with architectural control applications. Rosemary has been diligent with our meeting minutes. You may not get a lot of compliments in your job, but these are well deserved.“

“I’m a homeowner in the Sumner Lake community in Manassas. I’m currently serving on the board as the Treasurer of our community. I wanted to take a moment to thank you for designating Trish Langley as our Community Manager. Trish joined us in the Fall of 2023, and it is simply a pleasure to have her with us. We’ve made notable progress since her arrival.
I’ve only had pleasant experiences with Sequoia but Trish’s standard of customer service is unmatched. We held our monthly meeting tonight, and I sat in awe of her ability to handle everything so well. She is professional, organized, and responsive. She is extremely resourceful and possesses a wealth of knowledge, continuously providing wise counsel in our decision making.
I truly appreciate her ability to hone in on the priorities of our community and complete tasks with a well-balanced sense of urgency. Again thank you for the designation. She is truly a gem.“

“I am writing to commend your employee, Missy Hayden, at our Wellington Community Association for her excellent work. Missy is a talented and dedicated employee who deserves recognition and appreciation for her outstanding work. She is always responsive, attentive, and courteous and answers any of my questions I may have had and addresses any issues that have occurred. For example, just a couple of days ago, two individuals had spray-painted a large graffiti on our street right in front of my house. I brought it to the attention of the city of Manassas Police, and I contacted the Wellington office to let them know. That same afternoon she had a crew out there removing the graffiti. There have been numerous other times where I had a question in regards to a design application or parking passes, and Missy addressed all of them promptly within hours. Having Missy working at our association makes life a lot easier for all of us. “

“Since you have taken over the operations/management for the properties at Fairfax Commons, it has been wonderful. As one of the tenants…, I am very appreciative of the level of communication over improvements as well as information about events. I very much appreciate that you have been communicating not only about the improvements, but been conveying this information in advance, which allows me as a Small Business Owner to strategize as well as inform clients and staff about these improvements. Just wanted to convey my appreciation.”

“As President of the Board for a Northern Virginia community, I cannot emphasis enough how important a good managing agent is. Community Managers assist Boards with almost everything they do. They handle the good, the bad, and the sometimes ugly as some other reviewers have expressed. We recently switched from another management agent that was just not meeting our needs. We reached out to 20 local community management companies as a part of our transition process… On the second day, we interviewed Sequoia. From the moment we shook hands, we knew we had a potential winner. Sequoia sent the VP of their Residential Division, their Tech Director, and their proposed Community Manager. All three proved to be knowledgeable, confident, and very capable. They made an uncertain selection process enjoyable. They answered all the Board’s questions with poise and expertise. They appreciated the issues we had with our former management company and presented real, actionable solutions. They even went so far as to obtain access… to the web portal our community had come to depend on, to minimize disruption to our community’s online HOA experience. No other prospective management company came even close to satisfying the unique needs and requirements of our community. We are now two months into our experience with Sequoia and could not be happier with their performance. They have proven to be everything they promised to be during their interview. I firmly believe we have found a true partner that we can rely on for years to come. If you are a Board member seeking to change management companies, reach out to Sequoia and ask for my contact. I am happy to share our entire experience in order to help other Boards achieve better success with their managing agents.”

“The Fair Oaks Estates Board of Directors appreciates the great job that Haley Furr has done for us since becoming our community manager in April. She very quickly came up to speed on community operations and needs and was almost immediately effective as our manager. She quickly responds to Board and homeowner requests and takes initiative in suggesting and implementing solutions. She is highly organized in tracking assignments and actions. We look forward to continuing to work with her.”

“We would like to thank you for your time and assistance in getting our recent building rehab done. We know that without your help and participation it could not have been done in such a timely and expeditious manner. Our home looks so much better than it did a few weeks ago when we stated the building’s problems. We would like to express our special thanks to Angela Corum and her staff for keeping workers on schedule and for fixing a good number of concerns that needed to be done. The workers did a great job. A shout out to… board members for their quick response understanding that our building needed urgent repairs.”

“I was on the Architectural Review Board when our HOA hired Sequoia as our property management company. Since I was a member of the Architectural Review Board and the HOA Board, I had regular interactions with Shannon Cook, our Property Manager. My experiences and interactions with Shannon were always pleasant. She is knowledgeable, approachable, thorough, attentive, and professional. My impression of Shannon is she enjoys her job and enjoys working with the communities she manages/serves. She is exactly what the Stonegate Community needs in a Property Manager. I would highly recommend Shannon as a Property Manager for any community (big or small) because she has proven she is the right person for the job.”

“I wanted to take the time to say how professional and efficient Lauren Lamoglia has been to work with. From the time we ordered the HOA documents, through a request from the lender for insurance information, Lauren has been expeditious in her responses and that is invaluable. Working with HOA/Condo Association isn’t always the easiest process, but Lauren certainly represented Sequoia very well in my transaction!”

“I suspect that the property management business fields have more complaints than thank you’s. But not this time. In my career, I worked with most of the Class A Commercial real estate developers & property managers in the DC/MD/VA area.
Racheal Seeger stands alongside the very top level property managers. I have contacted her more than a few times in my 27 years living [at my current address]. Racheal resolved my issue each time, quickly & politely. My decision to write to you was her consistent professionalism over time.”

“I appreciate the service Sequoia provides, including reviews of their employees. I can rely upon Shannon and Sequoia to do the legwork, scheduling and follow up we cannot do as volunteers. What’s nice is that Sequoia tailors their service to the size of our HOA and provides insight to how other HOAs handle similar situations. They act as the hub or bridge between vendors/bidders, the residents, committees, local government (e.g., County Development and Water), legal, etc. I can always count on Sequoia to help out HOA run. I really appreciate their service and would highly recommend to HOAs looking for personal attention and awareness of laws. Our HOA Board will always agree they’ve been the glue over the years.”

“Our community had fallen into disrepair and neglect after many years under [another property management company], and unlike many other communities, we decided to do something about it after too long having had our complaints ignored. Brought in Sequoia after a competitive bidding process, and even though they were not the lowest bidder, they were much more reasonable than [other companies], and their presentation convinced the Board that they were just what we needed to turn things around. After two years with Lisa as our community manager, I’m convinced that we made the right choice. She has worked within our limited budget to improve things each year. She is responsive to suggestions and problems and has worked with the Board to address issues of concern.”
Homeowner/Yelp Review
May 2020
“Leaving sincere reviews is often difficult for a service such as a property management company. Their job is to regulate groups of individuals, and as such they must be the bad guys sometimes… Sequoia is vigilant with assessing violations. My belief is that this should be expected with any management company. Additionally, I haven’t found Sequoia to be difficult to contact or work with. As with any issue that requires correspondence, email is usually the best method, and my community manager, Lisa McBride, has always been responsive. My intent was to leave an honest review rather than an emotional response. Of course it’s no fun to pay increasing dues, receive violation notices, etc. but this is the nature of the business… based on what should be expected from a company tasked with enforcing rules in a community with standards, I feel they do their jobs competently and honestly.”

“Earlier this month my partner and I sold a home in Crossroads Village in Gainesville. From the day it was listed until the closing date was less than three weeks. Toward the end of the process, we discovered that the owners had several HOA issues they had not been aware of. They had not applied for four changes and needed to get approval in time for settlement. It was very important to both the sellers and the buyers to close on the date in the contract, but we had only days to resolve the issues, and the board was not set to meet in time. Monica Ruiz turned out to be a life-saver. She went out of her way to help us, working as a liaison to the board members and smoothing our way as much as possible. She was efficient and very pleasant to work with. She stands out to me as a quality person who goes the extra mile in a world where so many people are unwilling to do that.”

Kudos to Sequoia Management.”

I believe we are getting to the point where it will not be such a headache each day. The big items such as the HVAC, elevator and water leaks all seem to be moving in the right direction and are more reliable. I just wanted to share my thanks for what they are doing for us.”

“I have had nothing but good experiences with Sequoia since I bought my condo. I worked with Racheal Gore during the closing process, and she answered several questions that I had about Sequoia’s responsibilities in the housing development. She also coordinated two repairs to the exterior of my condo since the purchase and made sure the contractor gave me prompt attention. In each of my contacts with Sequoia, they have been professional, courteous, and proactive. It seems others have had trouble with Sequoia but that has not been my experience at all, and I wanted to add my opinion.”

“Thank you for the outstanding support your team has given me at our meeting last night. East Market at Fair Lakes Condo One had a meeting with the community to discuss an assessment increase that will take effect a few months from now. We are increasing the monthly assessments by $81 dollars and as you can image many homeowners were not very happy about an increase. Sharon, Jeneice and Lauren were at the meeting with me and assisted with responding to homeowners. Sharon’s detailed preparation prior to the meeting ensured that we could quickly provide responses to homeowners’ inquires regarding the budget line items that are being increased. It was not an easy meeting but their support helped the meeting go smoothly… Your team provided me with great support and I sincerely appreciated their efforts. ”

“I cannot say enough good things about Sequoia Management and our community’s manager and team. They are very professional, organized, and knowledgeable in HOA management. Their staff is responsive, helpful, and they work hard to provide the best advice to serve residents within HOAs based on their experience and best practices. I have first-hand knowledge that they are extremely competitive in their management fees (compared to [other companies]) and they are worth every penny. Residents have high expectations of management companies and that’s fine, but there are realities such as budget and established rules (i.e.: bylaws) that limit what can and cannot be done in a community… I’m active in my HOA community and work closely with Sequoia staff on a regular basis. Compared to the management company that we were utilizing previously, I can tell you that they are 1000% better, and I wish we had been working with Sequoia from the beginning.”

“Best management company I’ve come across. I have been dealing with management companies over many many years. This is the first management company to make me feel welcome into the community. I am a new homeowner in the East Market at Fairlakes Phase II Community. I contacted Sequoia for the dues and I had a couple of questions regarding my condo. I spoke with Jeneice and she was very helpful with my questions. I called back a few days later for a parking pass. Kylie helped me obtain my parking pass and was very helpful. Thank you Sequoia for your services to our community.”

“Racheal Gore was splendid this past Tuesday night, at our Baldwin Grove board of directors and residents’ meeting. She was professional, knowledgeable of our community and its operations; yet warm and welcoming everyone. She had agenda packets for everyone who attended so that homeowners could follow along with the board’s discussion and action items that affect our community. We want you to know that we appreciate so much Racheal’s appointment as our property manager. We have pledged to do everything we can to ensure she succeeds.”

I learned more about Treebrooke’s business contracts, banking situations and more through my interaction with her… She has kindly returned calls to our condo owners and it is a pleasant change… Genel is a blessing to Treebrooke. I already see benefit changes that will be happening for the future of our community… Her suggestions and work endeavors, on behalf of Treebrooke, are greatly appreciated.”

“Sharon is a consummate professional… Sharon always thoroughly answered questions expediently… she contributes to the feeling of neighborhood that we seek in the places we call home. I will miss Sharon for her sincerity in a place that is so transient that it is even more important to have and to foster qualities that bring us together instead of keep us apart. Thank you for having the wisdom in finding and hiring her to care for our community. Even though this is a business, Sharon shows that she has not lost the meaning and the power of WELCOME HOME. She has my enduring appreciation for her words and deeds and actions.”

“I wanted to take a [moment] to thank Sequoia for the well maintained landscape at Vintage Place in Reston. I have lived in a number of HOA communities all over the US and Sequoia stays ‘ahead’ of the landscaping and snow removal projects. The recent tree trimming and removal and well-scheduled lawn service are quite evident and APPRECIATED. Yesterday’s tree trimming was a surprise and welcomed. It brightened up the paring areas considerably. The lawn service is much better this year, on a more even schedule, even with the rain, and has rarely gotten too tall. ”

This petite lady is a dynamo juggling all of her other communities but still finds the time to conduct her inspections in our community and handles our endless needs and concerns. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ms. Follin… [since] December of 2014… being a property manager is a thankless job and it takes a special person who can listen but still be firm with homeowners when they are in violation… Catherine’s energy and positive attitude when times get tough is amazing… I would ask that you please commend Ms. Follin for her service and thank her for a job well done! “

I have seen some unfair criticisms of Sequoia Management relating to the storm.

The plow driver was very courteous and professional when we talked with him briefly.

Well done to the contractor and Sequoia management.”

“There are many concerns when an association is looking to establish a relationship with a property manager. For me, the core necessities are Passion, Integrity, and Honor built on top of a proven foundation for handling minutiae as well as shepherding very valuable assets.

These traits are crucial in the long-term management of any association.”
