The Management Trust Acquires Professional Management Associates

    AURORA, CO, July 05, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Management Trust, America's third-largest community association management firm, today announced the acquisition of Professional Management Associates (PMA) of Aurora.

PMA will now become a key unit of The Management Trust, the only 100 percent employee-owned firm in the condominium and homeowner association management industry. The Management Trust is based in Tustin, CA.

"By joining The Management Trust family we can offer another level of customer service to the associations we manage," said Jeff Kutzer, PMA president. "They are innovators in the industry in terms of technology and creating valuable services for homeowner and condo association board members."The Management Trust's ownership structure was a compelling reason for the deal, Kutzer said. "Their unique employee ownership culture and progressive management approach will help us attract and retain the very best people to better serve our customers," he said.

Working out of the family's basement, Kutzer's mother started PMA in 1983; Kutzer joined the company four years later, after attending Colorado State University. PMA has since grown to serve community associations in the Denver metropolitan area and along the front range from Castle Rock to Broomfield.

"We wanted Jeff and his colleagues to join The Management Trust team because we see their outstanding reputation and long-term involvement in the industry as instrumental in helping us expand our presence in Denver and other Colorado markets," said Bill Sasser, president and CEO of The Management Trust.

Terms of the transaction were not released. The acquisition is the second by The Management Trust in 2011.
