Arnold Bernstein
Vice President of Kings Point Operations
Arnold (Arnie) Bernstein comes from a long and distinguished career in the South Florida Property Management and Service industry. He was Director of Development for Encore Services, a division of ARA and opened offices from Tampa, Florida to Phoenix, Arizona, and had responsibility for Hiring, Training, Sales & Marketing, as well as Management responsibilities for the first year of each startup.
Arnie then joined Prime Management Group as a Property Manager (CAM) of 77 Independent Associations in Kings Point. Shortly after beginning with Prime, FirstService made them their first U.S. Management acquisition. Arnie was made Director of Property Management in charge of hiring, training, and mentoring new managers along with full responsibility of overseeing 135 associations. Since then, he has held positions from Regional Director, V.P., and Senior V.P. throughout his career with Prime, Continental, and FirstService. During that time, Arnie was instrumental in rebuilding the 65 ICA Associations who were with FirstService after Wilma damaged all the buildings in Kings Point. He was able to negotiate significant savings for all the associations while rebuilding roofs and siding to code for 65 associations. The average out of pocket expense to the associations was under $35,000. The claim was settled for $33,000,000.
In 2018, Arnie joined Seacrest Services due to past clients requesting his return to Kings Point, and the reputation of Seacrest Services among South Florida’s 55+ communities. Seacrest successfully opened an office in Delray Beach and in a short period of time, they acquired 17 Associations. Seacrest has been able to deliver on its core value of quality management services, while also offering more services at a lower cost. Our experience, knowledge, accounting, and landscape expertise continually remind our clients they made the right choice in Seacrest Service.
