Your community's success, harmony and wise use of your resources is our mission.
We help Homeowner Association (HOA) Boards, Condominium Boards and property professionals best serve common interest associations. We work with your Board and property professionals to help you map a path to your association's goals.
Why is common interest governance often so challenging?
The most common reason is that associations are usually governed by untrained, volunteer Boards. Good folks who want to do a good job, but many are flying blind. Most board members are busy people who do not have the time to learn the business of common interest governance from scratch.
Another reason governance is so tough is that there is a diversity of interests among community members. Until common interests are identified, and individual interests are addressed, harmonious and effective governance is tough. Without clear directive, your manager's job is even tougher.
Finally, people naturally want to avoid conflicts with their neighbors. Of course, unresolved conflicts do not go away. Sometimes neighbors need a little help finding a safe way to get things on the table and clear the air.
We know what you are dealing with. For over 20 years we have juggled parking, pets, patios, personalities, payments, and common utility issues in a variety of communities. We have managed new associations, and associations in the midst of change, rapid growth, and capital reinvestment. We've managed high-end resort associations and affordable housing associations.
Whether you are sharing a water system, renovating a high rise city condominium or establishing parking regulations to cope with increasing traffic, you want to make sure your interests are addressed. Good neighbors also want to assure that the other members' interests are addressed. We help neighbors find their common ground and keep the discussion from getting personal. We help you find solutions that work for your community.
We can help you avoid big problems by spotting them when they are little. We can help you formalize your association's specifications for management proposals. We'll even help you interview and hire a manager.
