“Eight (8) years and counting!” When you think of property management companies there’s only one whose claim to fame can include this phrase, and that’s Concord Management.

It all started back in 2002 when a then, pre-adolescent property management company took a chance. We asked ourselves, “Will others agree that we provide the support our team members need in order to achieve work-life balance?” The answer was a resounding yes. Our efforts had been publically validated and resulted in our receiving our first Top 100 Companies for Working Families award.

As a result, Central Florida also knew that the work-life balance resources we provide for our team members are second to none. Presented in many shapes and forms, our team members have the opportunity to select the resources that meet their individual needs.

Our team members work hard at being exceptional. They are proud of where they work and take pleasure in providing outstanding customer service. We know that being the best is not always easy and many times the first thing to go is taking care of ourselves. That’s why Concord Management created its health and wellness program, “Healthy Living for an Exceptional Life!”

The program conquers the dreadful “what ifs”, by offering low cost medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug insurance. We also offer group, supplemental, spouse and dependent life insurance, as well as accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance so that our team members don’t have to worry about their loved ones. In addition, the plan assures our team members there are ways to relieve the pressure and demands of every day life by offering an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) along with mental health benefits. Plus, we partner with businesses to offer employee discount programs for sporting events, theme parks, cell phones and so much more.

Prevention plays a significant role to overall well being and staying healthy. Preventing illness and detecting symptoms are just as important as nutrition, fitness and stress management....
