Common Interest Management Services Acquires Cornerstone Community Management

Common Interest Management Services (CIMS), the Bay Area's leader in HOA community management, has acquired Cornerstone Community Management. Cornerstone has operated for more than two decades in South Bay providing outstanding service to its homeowner association (HOAs) clients. "It was important to me that Cornerstone employees and clients would be in good hands with a top company and quality leadership team. As CIMS owners, Mike Archer and Dan Nelson have built a great company and it's clear that CIMS is growing because it puts its customers and its employees first with a positive and energizing culture. Among my many choices, I trusted only one," said Bill Forrester, Owner, Cornerstone. 

"We are excited to welcome the Cornerstone team and to begin our work together to serve our boards of directors and homeowners to the high standard they have enjoyed for many years. It is our mission and highest priority," said Mike Archer, CEO,CIMS. 

Founded in 1990, CIMS operates exclusively in the Bay Area with eight (8) local offices, including offices in Campbell, Fremont and San Mateo. Whether a smaller community of fewer than 10 units or a larger community over greater than 1000 units, CIMS tailors its services precisely to be cost competitive and to meet and exceed the needs of its clients. "We now serve nearly 200 communities in the South Bay alone with a team of certified community managers, customer service representatives, accountants, project support consultants, site inspectors and administrators. No other company has made this significant commitment to the South Bay market with this substantial investment in people and technology. We welcome the opportunity to work closely with the former Cornerstone clients to make progress on pressing challenges while enhancing the community for all," said Jean Kincaid, Senior Vice President & Market Leader, CIMS.
