Our Company
Sharper Image Management Consultants has enjoyed an outstanding reputation in the Condominium and Homeowner Association industry over the last 25+ years for its attention to property detail and appearance.
Our properties have experienced some of the most drastic changes during the period of time that we have managed them. Financially, they look better. We take great pride in the fact that we have the lowest delinquencies in the industry as well as some of the lowest legal charges. We do everything possible to make sure that collections are the highest percentage possible. Our motto is "Building Strong Communities."
We have the strongest design staff that can evaluate your property and make cost-effective changes that will best showcase the property, whether it be changing landscape bed-lines, re- pruning shrubs, changing out property, signage or building color changes and architectural detail improvements.
We have been referred to as the "Boutique Management" company because we offer a higher level of service with greater attention to design. We provide this to our clients without escalated management costs.
We strongly believe in personal contact, therefore, we strive to make sure that a live person answers all calls. Our personnel are well-trained and can, in most cases, handle our client's requests during the initial call. We also believe in having the best support staff, as well as the most up to date and innovative programs and equipment available so that we can best serve our clients.

Management Philosophy
The following outlines the management philosophy of Sharper Image Management Consultants, Inc. We have derived this philosophy for better quality service from over thirty years combined experience working with four of the top management firms in Atlanta. Sharper Image Management Consultants, Inc. has been in business in Atlanta since 1997.
Co-Managers plus Assistant
The average portfolio size for two managers in the industry is approximately 28 properties which allows for less than our hour of management time spent per property per week.
Less than four hours per week to solicit bids, handle phone calls, handle collections, handle correspondence, process bills, update directories, file, meet with contractors, prepare specifications, prepare management reports, etc..., therefore site inspections are often neglected.
With Sharper Image Management Consultants, Inc. co-management philosophy, two managers and their assistant will share a portfolio, allowing for additional time spent on your property. This is of utmost importance in that it allows for no delays in day-to-day business transactions, return of telephone calls and accessibility due to your manager being on-site or on vacation.
With co-managers you will no longer experience delays in response to your questions regarding financial status, legal status, account status, and other pertinent information you may need answered concerning your property. In addition, a manager with extensive working knowledge of your property will be on call 24 hours a day for emergencies.
