Please join us in welcoming James Tanigawa as Verandah’s new General Manager. Before joining our team, James was the Director of Community Association Management for RealManage’s Southwest Florida operations. In that position, he oversaw community association management operations across over twenty communities.
James is licensed by the State of Florida as a Community Association Manager and has maintained consistent licensure since 2008. Having spent 18 years working in the Southwest Florida community management industry, James brings a wealth of information and experience to the VCA Management Team. He has expertise in budget formulation, vendor relations, community development, regulatory compliance, and possesses a deep understanding of Florida homeowners and condominium association governance.
You may have previously met James, as this is not his first time working with the VCA. In 2024, he worked in the VCA office for several weeks as our interim manager, while the VCA worked to fill the general manager position vacated by Lynne Pietrzyk. James, commenting on his first days with us, says “I’d like to take a moment and thank the Verandah residents for the warm welcome I’ve received thus far. These past few weeks have been spent becoming more closely acquainted with the community, its various initiatives and – most importantly – its residents”.
James resides in Fort Myers with his wife and two sons. He writes “I am very excited to be serving as the General Manager of the Verandah Community Association and look forward to being a part of your community for years to come!
Best Regards,
James Tanigawa, CAM
