Homeowners from several communities are wondering what’s next for them after their property manager was accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from a homeowner’s association at another community where he worked.

NBC6 was first to report on the arrest of Michael Curtis of BDM Property Management earlier this month. The news sent shockwaves through communities where Curtis and BDM are still employed.

“So, when we finally heard about it, everybody was honestly happy,” said Shelisa Anderson, an owner at the Windmill Lakes community in Pembroke Pines, “Finally he's getting caught for the things that he's been doing.”

According to prosecutors, Curtis stole $439,000 from another community he used to manage in 2020. That money was from an insurance settlement that was supposed to pay for repairs at the Fairways of Sunrise after damage caused by Hurricane Irma. Instead, investigators say an unauthorized check was made to Curtis’ company BDM.'

Curtis has since bonded out of jail. But owners like Anderson wonder what the arrest means for Windmill Lakes and other communities where several owners have been fighting in court to remove him as property manager.

“Nothing has changed for any of the communities. All of us are still in court cases,” Anderson said. “We're all still doing recalls.”
