Top 3 Reasons Why IMS Is Your Best Choice For Property Management Partnership

Integrity Management Systems, Inc.

Invariably, during our many calls with prospective board members and rental homeowners, they will pose the question, "OK IMS, everything you state sounds wonderful, but why should we/I partner with you?" In other words, they want to know what sets Integrity Management Systems, Inc. (IMS) apart from our competition, and makes us the better option. While there are dozens upon dozens of reasons for this, we have selected the top three reasons why IMS is the best choice for property management partnership. Below, we explore each of these top three reasons, in great detail, and by offering real-world examples.

1) Our 100% Commitment To Complete Transparency. Among our CEO's favorite sayings, which he always states to prospective board members and investment owners is, "I am the guy who will not always tell you what you necessarily want to hear; but you will always know it is the complete truth." Unfortunately, there is so little truth and transparency in our industry, and that is the simple truth! Far too many simply want to "sell you" and grow their business. In reading our hundreds and hundreds of Google reviews, one can easily see that IMS is completely different. When you conduct business in only one way, the right way, the business and the doors will come.

On a recent call this week, our CEO was discussing the best strategy options with a prospective short-term rental owner, seeking to immediately replace her current property manager. By the end of the call, although IMS was not interested in signing this particular unit, based upon how the homeowner wished to market it, he had given her all of the information she needed to make the best informed decision. IMS could have easily signed her, as we were her first call, based upon our number one ranking on Google. As stated, we will never sacrifice our integrity in only providing you with the truth, for the sake of adding another door to our portfolio.

2) Our Industry-Leading Sense Of Urgency In Communicating. There are countless examples of how and why IMS is the very best in both receiving and sending communications, whether in person, over the telephone, or in writing. A classic example of the emphasis we place on immediate communications took place in our corporate office this morning. A prospective board President called this morning at 9:10 am, and spoke to Meredith, one of our amazing Association Managers. The board President informed Meredith of their board's desire to sign an immediate management agreement with IMS, to become the manager for their 141 door community. She and Meredith chatted for about 15 minutes, while Meredith took down the required demographic information about the community. It was also requested that the board wished to schedule a meeting with our CEO the following Thursday. Within one hour, the CEO had called and had a wonderful conversation with the board President, and scheduled the meeting for the following Thursday. During the conversation between our CEO and the President, she commented numerous times how impressed she was at how quickly IMS has communicated with her.

We know what you are thinking here; yes, but what happens once you become the management partner for this board and association. Ask any of our board members, and they will immediately tell you, "It only gets better" once we are partners. By this, there will be no decrease to our strong commitment to be the best, and most persistent communicator in our industry. IMS is one among very few property management companies who does not have our telephone systems set to ring, and give the caller menu options to ring extensions. We have live team members who answer our telephones, all day, every day!

3) Ironclad Protection Of Your Most Valuable Asset: Your Money. We are extremely proud of the fact that we manage many millions of dollars of association and rental owner funds. We are even more proud of the fact that there is never one penny missing, nor is one penny ever not properly accounted for in its proper GL account. Below is a list of the many painstaking steps IMS takes to ensure your most valuable asset is thoroughly and completely safeguarded.

1. There is one and only one person, Melissa Harris, our owner, Chief Financial Officer, and Property Manager in Charge who has access to all trust bank accounts. With her extensive background in both the banking and property management industries, Melissa is a trusted partner in the management of the vast amount of money IMS is entrusted in managing. She and her team are meticulous, highly detailed oriented, and safeguard all money under our management with the highest attention to detail.

2. IMS is the only HOA manager in the areas in which we conduct business who requires at least one board member to be an authorized viewer on all association bank accounts. Why is this important? This establishes an immediate system of checks and balances between the board/association and IMS. Instead of the management company only (as is the case in virtually all situations) being the only entity with access to viewing bank accounts, the board of directors is required to have at least one board member who has 24/7 access to viewing all bank accounts, in real time.

3. IMS offers the most comprehensive set of financial and banking reports to our partners in the industry. All board members, through their software portal, have immediate, real time access to over a dozen financial reports. Below is a screenshot of a board member's actual software portal.

IMS' robust financial reports access for our board members.

As you can see, our Buildium property management software offers our board members immediate, real-time access to as many as (16) pertinent financial reports. No management company offers this level of detail and reporting. What's more, as is the case with most management companies, you are not at the mercy of the management company in sending these reports once monthly, via email. You have this technology at your fingertips, twenty-four hours each day!

In addition to the above, monthly bank statements (which all authorized viewers) already have immediate access to, are uploaded for all board members to view, no later than the 10th of each month. We challenge you to find a competitor who offers this level of timely sharing of pertinent financial information.

IMS is proudly the number one property management company in Myrtle Beach for 2025!

In closing, as you may be aware, IMS achieved two of the highest accolades any business can receive in 2025.

1. As shown above, IMS was named the number one property management company in Myrtle Beach for 2025. This is a coveted honor, and we remain hard at work to repeat earning this coveted title in 2026.

2. IMS was and remains ranked number one on Google for Myrtle Beach property management on Google.

While it was a difficult task narrowing this list to simply the top three reasons why IMS is your number one choice for property management partnership, the aforementioned truly separate us from the rest. Truly, this list could easily be comprised of a top 25 or top 50 list of reasons, but the three areas mentioned above are certainly the most important to out client partners, as well as to us.
