What Our Clients Are Saying
“When the HOA board I was President of needed an expert report regarding bad work done by an irrigation contractor our attorney referred us to Jeremy Rappoport. The report Jeremy wrote was detailed and thorough. It enabled us to recover some money from the contractor to repair the bad work.
A year later, when my HOA board began an extensive $300K rehabilitation of our irrigation system, we hired Jeremy to be the project manager. He created the specifications, reviewed the bids, monitored the project, and approved invoices after he confirmed the worked was completed per the contract specifications. Jeremy responded quickly to concerns the board had about the contractor’s work and did detailed inspections of the project with written progress reports to the board. We could not have tackled this project without Jeremy’s expertise.
It was a pleasure to work with him and I have wholeheartedly recommended his services to other HOA’s in my community of Leisure World Seal Beach.”
