A new board at a 150-unit Westchester co-op was eager to take charge and make changes only to find themselves struggling with their current management company.

The board reached out to Tina Larsson, founder and CEO of the Folson Group , for help. In this interview Larson, acting as a consultant to the board, explains how she helped the board figure out what it was looking for and then move forward with finding new management and negotiating contract terms.

Christopher Saray, manager at the accountancy firm of WilkinGuttenplan , explains the how this works, what new condo boards need to understand about the budget when they take over and what condo buyers should be aware of.
