The Story Behind

Montage Community Services

At Montage Community Services, you’re not a case number. You’re a neighbor, a family, a person — and we treat you that way. As an independently owned organization, every decision we make is driven by one thing: you.

Who We Are

Built on a Belief.

Grown Through Trust.

Montage Community Services was founded by Craig and Sussan Summers with a simple but powerful belief — that people in our community deserve real support from someone who genuinely cares.

For over 10 years, Montage has been a trusted name in the community management industry. What started as a commitment to serve one community has grown through word of mouth, trust, and a genuine passion for performance — but our values have never changed.

We are not a franchise. We are not a national chain. We are not a corporation with a headquarters hundreds of miles away making decisions about your life. We are your neighbors, and this is our community too.

As a single-owner, independent organization, we have the freedom to do things differently. There are no layers of bureaucracy standing between you and the help you need. No endless transfers, no repeating your story to a new face every time you call. When you reach out to Montage, you connect with people who know your name — and leaders who are personally invested in your outcome.

Committed to Houston Communities

Meet the Founders

The People Behind Montage

Craig and Sussan Summers aren’t just the founders — they’re personally involved in the day-to-day work of every community they serve.

Craig Summers

Co-Founder & Owner, Montage Community Services

Craig brings a background in security and operations leadership to community management — a combination that gives Montage a uniquely structured, reliable approach to HOA oversight. His hands-on leadership style means decisions are made with clarity and accountability.

Craig’s philosophy is simple: the story never starts until you tell it. That belief drives everything at Montage — from how the team communicates with residents to how they represent each community they serve.

"Being a single-owner company is our greatest strength. Every decision runs through us personally."

Sussan Summers

Co-Founder & Owner, Montage Community Services

Sussan’s warmth and attention to detail form the heart of Montage’s community-first culture. She ensures that every resident and board member who reaches out feels genuinely heard — not handed off to someone unfamiliar with their situation.

Together with Craig, Sussan has grown Montage from serving a single community into a trusted Houston-area HOA management company built on word-of-mouth reputation and lasting relationships.

"We wanted every person who came to Montage to feel like the most important person in the room."

The Beginning

One Community. One Commitment.

Craig and Sussan Summers founded Montage Community Services with a single promise — to manage one community the way it deserved to be managed: personally, professionally, and with genuine care.

Early Growth

Word of Mouth Becomes Our Engine

With no franchise playbook and no corporate backing, Montage grew the only way that matters — through reputation. Board members and residents recommended Montage to neighbors because of the real difference they experienced firsthand.

02

Building the Team

Growing to 14 — Without Losing Our Culture

As Montage expanded, Craig and Sussan were intentional about every hire. Today, a 14-person team carries the same values that started the company: responsiveness, accountability, and a genuine connection to every community served.

03

Today

Still Independent. Still Personal. Still Houston.

Over a decade in, Montage remains independently owned, Houston-focused, and led by the same two people who started it all. The company continues to grow — not through acquisitions, but through trust built one community at a time.

Our Team

Many People. One Purpose.

Our team carries the same values that built Montage from the ground up — accountability, responsiveness, and genuine care for every community we serve.

What We Stand For

The Montage Difference

Our Core Values

People Before Process

Every policy, every procedure, every system we use exists to serve the people in our communities — not the other way around. When the two conflict, people win.

Radical Accountability

Our owners are personally involved every day. When something needs to be done, Craig and Sussan don't delegate accountability — they own it alongside the team.

Customer Clarity

From flat-fee billing to open communication, we believe you should never have to wonder what's going on, what you're paying for, or who to call. Clarity is a form of respect.

Rooted in This Community

Houston is home — not a market. We've been part of this community for over a decade, and that means we understand its neighborhoods, its people, and its character.

Independence as Strength

Being independently owned isn't just a business structure — it's our competitive advantage. No shareholders to answer to. No corporate mandates. Just the freedom to do right by you.

Earned, Not Assumed

Trust isn't given — it's built. Montage has grown entirely through reputation and referral, one community at a time. That's not an accident. It's the only way we know how to grow.
