I started as a PT Administrative Assistant in 2007 at Lido Surf & Sand. a self managed property. I was inspired to get my CAM License and never looked back! What I love about this industry is that no two days are the same. We can never get bored in this industry. There are always issues with the property, staff, residents or vendors.

In 2015 I was a finalist in the Communities of Excellence awards, and in 2016, not only did I win two Communities of Excellence awards for the Comeback Kids and Community Advocacy and Volunteerism, but my Condominium, River Dance also won the Condominium of the Year award!

I have served as a luxury on-site manager for properties that were self managed and managed by management companies. I have generally served my communities for three to five years. I seem to specialize in troubled properties that need help. I am somewhat like the Nanny McPhee of property management. When you need me but don't want me, then I must stay. When you want me, but no longer need me, then I must go.

Arielle Mouhot, Resource

Arielle Mouhot is a Portfolio Manager with Resource Property Management, overseeing a portfolio of more than 2,000 homes and condominiums across nine community associations in Southwest Florida.
Great portfolio managers solve problems. Exceptional portfolio managers build confidence.
Boards rely on Arielle not because every challenge has an easy solution, but because she brings clarity when situations are complex, steadiness when difficult decisions must be made, and the determination to see every project through. Whether guiding major community initiatives, leading operational improvements, or navigating unexpected challenges, she believes leadership begins with listening, collaboration, and earning trust one decision at a time.
For Arielle, success is never measured by the size of a portfolio. It is measured by stronger communities, more confident boards, and residents who know their community is moving forward with purpose. She believes the greatest legacy a portfolio manager can leave is not simply well-managed associations, but communities that are stronger because of their leadership.

For the Property Management Company that has demonstrated outstanding strategic vision, growth and delivers exceptional client services

Condominium Associates

Since 1982, our mission at Condominium Associates has been to maximize property values
and ease the daily operational workload for board members. We partner strategically to
help clients protect property values, ensure long-term financial stability, improve
communication between homeowners and boards, and ensure proactive maintenance so
board members can focus on governance rather than day-to-day management.
Most board members volunteer to support their community - not to manage operations,
respond to owner inquiries, or track financials. Over time, these tasks can overwhelm the
original intent of serving. We step in to handle these burdens, reduce workload, and
minimize risk. We deliver structure and process, so boards and owners experience
noticeable improvements, without the administrative strain.
Our leadership team brings decades of combined experience in community association
management to add clarity where it matters, and support where you need it. Every
community we manage has direct access to senior professionals, not a layer of
coordinators between you and the people who can help.
Whether you're a board member exploring a management change, a homeowner with a
question, or a developer planning your next Florida community, we're here and we're local.
