Report
We have lived at Le Club International for approximately 5 years. Castle Management took over as management company for our building approximately 11 months ago,
replacing the property management company which had been in place since the condominium was turned over to the Association by the developer (approximately 2004). The previous manager and maintenance staff did basically nothing to maintain the building; waiting for things to break and replace them instead of carrying out the required preventative maintenance. Some of the staff actually made us feel as if they were doing the owners a favor

When you want something done right, you hire The Castle Group. We recently planned an event in D.C. and their events team was amazing to work with. They also have an awesome PR team that practically knows every reporter in the Boston-area. I can't wait to work with them again!
