Member since TBDconfirm Independently owned Founder-led community management across the Carolinas since 1985 — eight local offices, 30,000-plus owners served, and a national cooperative behind every one of them.
The story
Paul and May Gayle Mengert started Association Management Group in Greensboro in 1985 with three community associations and one mission: to bring real professionalism to an industry that didn’t have much of it yet. All three of those original communities are still AMG clients.
From Greensboro the firm grew to Charlotte, Winston-Salem, the Triangle, Greenville-Spartanburg, Aiken and Columbia — eight offices across North and South Carolina serving more than 30,000 property owners and residents, in everything from townhome HOAs and lakefront communities to large lifestyle associations.
The scale never changed the approach: listen first, respond quickly, deliver practical solutions. AMG surveys its clients and shares the results with each board, teaches its boards in person and by webinar, and gives its people’s time to two dozen Carolina charities. Its founder has taught on CAI’s national faculty since 1990 and was named CAI’s Educator of the Year in 2021.
A well-run community doesn’t happen by accident. It requires experienced leadership, fast response times, and a management partner who truly listens.
Why boards trust AMG
Quick response is a hallmark of AMG’s service — on maintenance, on payments, on the questions boards don’t know who else to ask. Every community works with a local office and a team that knows its name.
AMG surveys its communities and shares the results with each board in an annual satisfaction report. Typical clients report satisfaction from 98% or more of members, by the firm’s own surveys. confirm
Transparent financial reporting, proactive maintenance planning, and vendor oversight with accountability — the three things boards tell AMG they want most, built into every engagement.
AMG teaches its boards in person and by webinar — governing documents, meetings, financial management — and its founder wrote the Lessons from the Neighborhood series on community governance.
“Innovia brings together some of the finest minds in the association management industry across the United States,” says Paul Mengert. “They work collaboratively to deliver the best results to their communities.”
For your community, that means a forty-year Carolina firm’s attention and the resources of a national cooperative behind it.

Track record
AMG began with three Greensboro associations in 1985. All three are still clients today — through four decades of boards and budgets, and a company that grew from one office to eight without leaving them behind.
Giving back is a cornerstone of AMG’s culture: team service projects every year, co-chairing Greensboro’s Runway Run, and support for Habitat for Humanity, Second Harvest Food Bank, the Salvation Army, Greensboro Urban Ministry and twenty other Carolina organizations.
“Brianna helped resolve our common area issues and also helped in fixing our autopay to avoid any missed HOA payments”
“Ashley Jenkins is always super helpful whenever I need help with anything! Thank you, Ashley!”
“I would like to thank Brianna Sawyer for her outstanding customer service helping me with the website payment options.”
Eight offices — Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Durham, two in Charlotte, Simpsonville, Aiken and Columbia — put a local AMG team within reach of communities from the Triad and the Triangle to the Upstate and the Midlands.
