Community Management Is Born
After a group of friends discussed the challenges and untapped potential of their homeowners association, they set
out with a mission to Protect Property Values, Preserve a Pristine Community, and Promote Open Communication. Later
that year, Community Management, affectionately known as CMGT, was officially formed and began managing its first
association in Denham Springs, Louisiana, with only one team member.
Operations Expand
Having outgrown their original office, CMGT relocated to a nearby space and expanded services to Greater Baton
Rouge and Ascension Parish.
Growth Continues
With 20 associations under management, CMGT focused on expanding its team, welcoming several new team
members as the company continued to grow.
CMGT Cares
Guided by a spirit of giving, CMGT organized its first food drive, marking the beginning of many future philanthropic
and community-focused efforts.
Services Expanded
CMGT expanded services into Tangipahoa and St. Tammany Parish. Managing over 60 associations with a growing
team of 10 full-time employees, CMGT moved to a larger office space in Baton Rouge.
A Huge Milestone Reached
CMGT surpassed 100 managed associations and expanded into Lafayette, Shreveport, and Bossier City, Louisiana.
With this statewide growth, CMGT became the largest HOA management company in Louisiana. With a team of more
than 30, operations returned to Denham Springs, where the National Headquarters was officially established.
Property Management Division is Formed
CMGT introduced its Property Management Division, bringing the same exceptional services it provides to
associations to individual homeowners and investors, including full-service rental management.
Mississippi Expansion and the Great Flood
CMGT surpassed 150 managed associations and expanded services into Mississippi. Later that year, the Great Flood
left four feet of water in the National Headquarters, displacing team members and affecting many of the communities
CMGT serves. During this challenging time, staff headed into the communities to assist homeowners, while operations
were temporarily relocated to Baton Rouge. Committed to continuing service for all communities, CMGT remained open with only a four-day closure, even as many team members, including the owners, faced damage to their own homes.
A New Beginning
CMGT returned to its newly rebuilt National Headquarters and surpassed 175 managed associations. Operations
expanded into Monroe, Lake Charles, Houma, and New Orleans. Later that year, CMGT was recognized as the number
one management company in the Baton Rouge Business Report Annual Report.
Another Milestone Reached
CMGT reached 200 managed associations and continued expanding its footprint, adding more communities in
Mississippi and extending services into Alabama.
Maintenance Division is Formed
To better serve communities and homeowners, CMGT officially formed its Maintenance Division.
Leading the Gulf Coast
CMGT reached 250 associations under management and became the largest HOA management company in the Mississippi Gulf Coast region.
A Year of Growth and Recognition
CMGT continued rapid expansion and strengthened its commitment to both communities and team members.
Operations extended along the Alabama Gulf Coast into Mobile and Baldwin Counties, and the team grew to more
than 60 members across four states. That year, CMGT surpassed 300 managed HOAs and rebranded its Maintenance
Department as the Fix-It Squad, expanding services to both communities and individual homeowners. The
company’s dedication to its team was recognized when CMGT was named one of Baton Rouge’s Best Places to Work.
By year’s end, the Property Management Division had grown to manage over 300 individual rental units.
Celebrating Growth and Culture
CMGT marked 15 years in business while continuing to serve some of its original clients. The company expanded into
Southeastern Texas, growing operations to four states. Later that same year, CMGT was recognized again as one of the
Best Places to Work, highlighting its strong culture and the dedication of its team.
Growth Mindset
In preparation to enter the Florida Panhandle markets, the executive team and key managers earned their Florida
CAM Designation. CMGT was also recognized as a Florida CAM Licensed Management Company.
New States, New Innovations
CMGT signed its first management contract in Florida, marking the fifth state where the company now provides
services with local team members. Later in the year, CMGT was honored with the Vanty Award for Innovation at the
Vantaca Vision Conference, recognizing the team’s creative use of technology to deliver better services.
CMGT Today
Today, CMGT continues to grow, with more than 85 full-time team members across five states, proudly managing 380+ community associations, 300+ rental properties, and approximately 47,000 rooftops.
