History

After eighteen years of asset management for private and institutional clients, Douglas E. Wilson formed Advanced Management of Southwest Florida, Inc. in 1991 in response to community needs for an independent, truly professional Association Management firm that is thorough and responsive to client needs.

AMI has grown to be one of the largest professional Management firms in the area and has three self-sufficient offices–one located in Lakewood Ranch, one in Longboat Key and one located in Venice. AMI also has additional on-site offices. AMI is one of only two Management Companies in West Florida to have earned the highest national designation for professional management firms. Fewer than 125 firms nationwide hold the AAMC designation.

Corporate Philosphy

  • Each Association is unique and a custom management plan will be developed to serve the physical requirements of the property, the administrative requirements of the Board and the level ofservice requirements of the members.
  • A Licensed Community Association Manager and their own dedicated Assistant will be assigned to the Association to develop a detailed understanding of the property and Association requirements.
  • AMI will work through the assigned Manager to provide unique, centralized team support for administrative, professional and service requests, and communications for Directors and Association members.
  • AMI believes that Associations are best served when service contracts are independent and competitively bid. AMI has no captive or affiliated service companies and receives no fees or gratuities from Association contractors or suppliers. All discounts and savings accrue to the Association.
