I always say that teh PM function is teh most important as soon as ine has the purchase side completed.

Yes, associations can be a PIA, they can also function very well, with low fees, but than properties are that way in general.        

If someone winds up becoming a road block instead of performing the helpful function they are supposed to be filling, then I wouldn't fault you for dealing with the seller directly at that point!

However, Google Voice has very basic and limited functionality and Google has basically stopped making updates and improvements to Voice.
