PDS Turns 20!

It’s hard to believe that 1995 – the year we said goodbye to everything from “Full House” to Operation Desert Storm, and hello to “Toy Story,” the World Trade Organization, and a little online bookseller called Amazon – was twenty years ago. But we’re ready to embrace the passage of time, because 1995 is also the year that Planned Development Services (PDS) launched in Arizona with the goal of providing top-tier homeowner association management services to customers, volunteer board members, and residents across the Phoenix Valley.

PDS, a proud member of both the Community Association Institute and the Arizona Association of Community Managers, has come a long way since those early startup days of the mid-90s to become an award-winning and leading regional HOA management company.

Today, we provide more than 120 communities, including large master-planned, condominiums, and small, custom neighborhoods, with an array of services like HOA management, accounting and collections, homeowner communication, vendor management, and HOA board education.

And PDS doesn’t just provide those services – we always look for ways to do it better, and to build more open and effective lines of communication between board members, homeowners, and PDS managers. In the last year alone, we announced a new location, gone live with an industry-first mobile app, and launched a redesigned website. PDS’ new Peoria, Arizona office (14100 N. 83rd Avenue, Suite 200), is more accessible for customer and homeowners – who are always encouraged to drop by and share questions and concerns – and offers a larger space for the company’s popular HOA board training courses. The PDS mobile app, HOA link, is available for download on iTunes, and allows homeowners to contact managers, make payments, report violations, find community event information, and access necessary forms and paperwork on their smartphones. And with the relaunch of www.pdsaz.com/, users can view legislative updates, register for HOA board trainings, and get community updates more easily than ever before.

Visit the our Facebook page to participate in a monthly trivia challenge with prizes, and learn more about our upcoming 20th birthday bash in October. HOA board members have a special opportunity to participate in our water support drive for local charities: those who bring a case of water for donation to any PDS training will be entered to win raffle prizes at the party in October.

Stay tuned to PDS on social media for updates on these and more ways we’ll be celebrating the big 2-0 for the rest of the year, and thank you for being a part of the PDS community!
