Benefits of Having Professional Homeowners Association Management
Homeowners Associations are becoming more prevalent in
communities and neighborhoods throughout the country. With that, more
homeowners are finding themselves living in HOAs and serving on a homeowner’s
association board. However, many new board members don’t realize what is
involved with serving on the board of their HOA and what is expected of them.
Board members have a fiduciary responsibility to the
homeowners association. The Board members are held responsible for ensuring the
operations of the community association are properly managed, but few have time
for the details involved with the day-to-day operations.
The best way for Board members to ensure the day-to-day
operations are properly executed is to hire a professional HOA management
company. A successful home owners management company will not only properly
manage the community, but will help the community association raise its
property value. Plus, there are countless benefits of having professional
management, including prompt communication, timely reports, and an increased
sense of community.
A homeowner’s association board should expect an HOA
management company to be a reliable partner who understands their needs, knows
how to get things done, anticipates issues and concerns, and who has a track
record of finding reliable solutions. When looking for a new management
company, the Board members need to find out what services each company provides
to their clients. The list below outlines just a few of the services that
should be expected from all professional community association management
firms.
1. Communicate openly and honestly with the homeowners
association board
2. Respond to information and maintenance requests promptly
3. Be easily accessible by phone and email
4. Prepare for Board and homeowners meetings
5. Vigorously pursue delinquent homeowners fees
6. Produce complete, readable, and timely financial reports
7. Consistently act with the HOA’s best interests in mind
8. Understand homeowners association rules and governing
documents
9. Create an annual operating budget
10. Be an expert in homeowners association management

A Well-Run Homeowners Association Makes A Difference
First, we recommend that you choose people who have business
experience and financial acumen.
Individuals who have never administered a long-range project
may underestimate how much maintenance situations will change over future years
and not set aside enough money from the association fees to cover future
expenses.
Then there’s the nasty backlash as the monthly HOA fee is
raised dramatically, but sometimes the homeowners association board members
responsible have long vanished from the scene.
Secondly, if you are in the type of development where
neighbors are really fussy about how things look, choose someone with some
urban design talent as well. An architect, landscape architect, or urban
planner could be really useful to the board. Engineers and attorneys always
come in handy as well.
Thirdly, choose people who are truly likely to live in the development
over the long term and are dedicated to its success.
Those for whom your particular development represents a
second or third place to call home are unlikely to serve well even if they have
the professional skills we have been advocating.
Fourth, the community and the board needs to deal promptly
with any personality conflicts that arise. If you are a part of a board that
squabbles frequently, and that seems to be true of many HOAs, ask that
mediation services be purchased.
The threat might actually bring the bickering parties back
into line, but if not, you’re protecting your most valuable financial
investment.
If you’re on the receiving end of the bullying that seems to
happen in a number of homeowners association boards, think about whether the
toll is worth it. Resign if you must. (Source:
