The CPG Story

For almost twenty years, Commercial Property Group (CPG) has been managing a variety of properties and homeowner associations in Steamboat thanks to the original founders, Medora Fralick and Nancy Kounovsky. In 2018, Ben and Andrea Wilhelm purchased CPG in an effort to expand their maintenance company, formerly known as “CJAMS” (Commercial Janitorial & Maintenance Services). Ben and Andrea have lived in Steamboat for almost 13 years and love the outdoor family lifestyle it affords them with their two young boys.

Ben Wilhelm, Owner

Originally from Georgia, Ben graduated from Western State University in Gunnison, Colorado with an aptitude and passion for maintenance, mechanical, electrical, and carpentry work.  His professional experience includes various property manager and maintenance positions at Perry Mansfield (76-acre camp in Steamboat), NorthBay Adventure Camp (97-acre education center on the Chesapeake Bay), and Point Lookout Resort & Conference Center (387-acre resort in Maine).  In his spare time, he enjoys sailing, motorcycles, mountain biking, gardening, skiing, and teaching his two boys all of the aforementioned hobbies.

Andrea Wilhelm, Owner

A graduate of Stanford University, Andrea’s professional background centers on non-profit administration including accounting and human resources. She is a licensed SPHR (Senior Professional in Human Resources), a CMCA (Certified Manager of Community Associations), and Managing Broker. Prior to CPG, Andrea served as the HR Director at Casey’s Pond Senior Living for five years during its inception.  She also served in various executive roles for other non-profits for ten years prior.  Andrea is a classical pianist, harpist and ultra-runner when she's not working in the office.

He has a B.A in Communication from CU and is a CMCA and holds his AMS (Association Management Specialist) designation. Bryan grew up in Steamboat since he was six and still loves what it has to offer for outdoor activities, music, community and friends.

Selena Wathern, Accounting & HOA Manager

Selena came to Steamboat in 2013 and began working in various hospitality roles before moving into association management starting in 2016. She began as the General Manager of a resort complex predominantly comprised of short-term rentals and then moved to managing a private residence club at the base of the ski mountain. At the start of 2022, Selena transitioned to the construction industry as the Finance Manager of a Steamboat based firm but eventually realized her calling to be association management and joined CPG mid-2023. She is a novice snowboarder, motocross lover, and live music enthusiast who enjoys creating new memories with her family.
