Planned Development Services, Inc.

Planned Development Services has been in business since 1995 managing approximately 38,000 units in the Valley. PDS is a member of Community Association Institute and encourages all our managers as well as support staff to further their knowledge via classes, seminars and various publications. PDS managers average over 10 years experience each.

Our organization is structured to insure accurate communication between Board Members, homeowners, managers and support staff. All our managers are appointed bookkeepers and administrative staff to enable them to be effective and efficient. Each homeowner will have personal access to each person appointed to handle his or her community. All support staff have access to all necessary homeowner computer information and can answer most any questions quickly and accurately.

PDS uses the best that technology has to offer. Our computer system is second to none in the industry. Our managers are equipped with personal computers as well as home based accessibility. All managers are issued cellular phones for ease of communications.

PDS hires only experienced, highly qualified managers. Your manager will be on site at least once weekly (depending on the size of the project, visits will increase as needed in relation to size). Weekly site inspections are provided by the Quality Control Manager to insure that not only the property is being maintained by it's members, but the maintenance crews as well. PDS welcomes feedback from the entire community and has a 24 hour dispatch service for reporting emergencies or problems within the community. PDS works closely with city officials and police departments as an extra measure of security and peace of mind.

PDS's doors are always open. Should a Board member or other community member have difficulties or issues not easily resolved by the manager, then PDS management steps in. With over 40 years experience in community management, we feel we can work through any issues that may arise. Our goal is to do all that it takes to preserve your sense of community and in doing so, increase your property values.
