Reserve Study Helps Beach Condos Plan for Future  

 

"We are very pleased with zumBrunnen's reserve study. Dan Williams was very helpful and knowledgeable. He reviewed our prior study and helped us add and delete items for budgeting purposes. Dan answered questions at each step of the way and continues to answer our questions even after he completed our study."
-Vinny Spera, General Manager, Maisons-sur-Mer
