About Pat Crosscombe
Founder and CEO of BoardSpace
Our humble beginnings
January 25, 2008
This is where BoardSpace began
Pat purchased this townhouse condo and was thrilled to move into her first home. However, her excitement was short-lived as she soon heard rumours about the condo having numerous problems. The word “few” was an understatement. Pat regretted investing her life’s savings into what seemed like a “lemon.” Eventually, she joined the board and, along with her fellow board members, worked tirelessly to address the condo’s many issues.
It seemed this condo faced every possible challenge known to condominiums: lawsuits, mediation, title insurance subrogated claims, declarant misbehaviour, owner challenges, dog issues, special assessments, new bylaws, special engineering studies, reserve fund studies, fire code violations, overseeing a tender for substantial roofing projects, water & sewage infiltration in basements, and much more.
The “lemon” Condo
Pat even got up on the roofs a few times to check out the roofing project in progress. The contractors were unhappy about this, but fortunately, Pat did not fall off the roof.
