OUR SERVICES
Each housing co-op is unique, and has its own unique needs. COHO offers management and maintenance solutions for British Columbia co-ops that are flexible, effective, and tailored to our clients’ specific needs. No “cookie-cutter” solutions here.
Administrative
Routine administrative tasks can take up a lot of your time that could be better spent on governance and community issues. Let us help. There’s no task too large or small for COHO’s talented team.
Financial
Our financial services team is the best in the business, hands down. With decades of experience and an unshakable commitment to ensuring our clients’ success, COHO’s stellar reputation is well earned.
Corporate
No other management company understands the co-op housing landscape quite like COHO does. Whatever the funding program or governance model, rest assured that your community is in expert hands.
Maintenance
As our buildings age, the need for professional maintenance services has never been more critical. Trust COHO’s talented coordinators, technicians, and inspectors to get the important jobs done right… the first time.
The numbers speak for themselves…
