About ... United Property Associates

PROFILE

United Property Associates (UPA) was founded in 1978 in response to the need for quality property management in Hampton Roads for apartment communities, homeowner and condominium associations, and single-family homes.

United Property Associates As UPA evolved and grew during the ensuing thirty years, staff members focused on employing and training personnel dedicated to strong and consistent property management, rather than real estate sales. The company's goal is not only to maintain client properties with the necessary expenditure of funds but, in time, improve them. UPA maintains a high quality staff of property and site managers, well trained and experienced in the complete operation of apartment communities, homeowner and condominium associations, and single-family home rentals.

CORPORATE PHILOSOPHY

United Property Associates, as a company, a team, and as individuals will continually strive to meet all responsibilities and beyond. UPA is committed to:
  1. Providing our clients with top-quality service.
  2. Delivering these services efficiently.
  3. Treating our clients as we expect to be treated - putting our clients first everyday and meaning it.
  4. Providing an inclusive work environment where every person is given the support and opportunity to be successful.
  5. Expecting and accepting from ourselves nothing short of the best.
PERSONNEL

United Property Associates is the only association management company in Hampton Roads with a class-A contractor and on-staff civil engineers. The knowledge of these fields is frequently very important for new communities, high-rise buildings, and older properties. These three types of properties frequently experience new construction problems not yet resolved with the developer, building system complexities, or major re-habilitation projects to be completed.

The current staffing of United Property Associates' Virginia Beach, Suffolk, and Newport News operations consists of a very highly regarded administration and accounting staff which serve to assist and support the site personnel as well as UPA's clients.

MARKET POWER

Through UPA's association with contractors and suppliers, UPA has been able to secure prices from vendors far below what most companies can obtain. Thus, UPA is able to keep the operating expenses of associations below the level at which they customarily have operated.

We maintain accounts with vendors for the services most frequently needed, using two or more vendors for each service in order to maintain competitive prices. UPA constantly strives to update its bidding process and seeks new vendors who are able to maintain the level and quality of service UPA demands.

United Property Associates can significantly improve the quality of your property or association, and upon request will provide strong references from other owners or Board members where UPA has made these same improvements.
