Management grounded in stewardship and shared responsibility.
Common Properties Management serves associations and property owners throughout the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area with practical management, clear financial information and thoughtful care for property held in common.
Help communities care well for what they share.
We provide attentive property management and specialized financial services tailored to the needs of the communities we serve. Through clear information, practical guidance and support for effective governance, we help boards protect their property, plan for the future and carry out their responsibilities with confidence.
Our name comes from the idea of the commons.
The commons are the places, resources and responsibilities that belong to a community collectively rather than to any one individual.
Common Properties Management grew from a tradition of cooperative and communal living. That history helped shape a view of property management centered on shared responsibility, long-term thinking and stewardship.
The challenge of common property is familiar: when responsibility is unclear or long-term needs are neglected, shared resources can deteriorate. Good management helps a community establish the information, planning and follow-through needed to care for those resources together.
Practical management built around the needs of the community.
Our approach combines financial clarity, responsive property oversight and support for the people responsible for making association decisions.
Transparency
Boards and property owners need clear, understandable information to make informed decisions about finances, operations and long-term needs.
Responsiveness
Questions, concerns and property needs deserve timely communication, clear expectations and practical follow-through.
Stewardship
Property management is ultimately about caring responsibly for assets, resources and responsibilities that communities depend upon.
Management that connects finances, property and governance.
Our work supports the major responsibilities that associations and property owners face in operating and caring for their communities.

Kelli Baskerville Kelli began her career in property management in 2019 in the Brookland neighborhood of Washington, D.C.—the heart of the nation’s capital. She quickly advanced within the field, earning her Certified Manager of Community Associations (CMCA) designation and developing a strong expertise in community association management. Originally from Minnesota, Kelli moved to the D.C. area in 2015 for what was meant to be a short-term stay. During that time, she explored her passion for hospitality as a barista and bartender before settling down and starting a family. A classically trained pianist, Kelli enjoys keeping up her musical skills in her spare time. Now back in Minnesota with her husband and growing family, she loves to travel, cook, bake—well, just about everything—and create custom miniatures.
