What the Architectural Committee Does for You
October 17, 2016
There’s a lot more to effectively managing a community association than what first meets the eye. Professional management is much more than simply property management; it’s also about governance—enforcing rules, conducting elections, budgeting, and more. Your home and your ownership interest in the community’s common elements represent a huge asset in your life—possibly the largest. Doesn’t it make sense to have a knowledgeable, trained, professional community association manager watching out for your interests?
Consider all they have to offer.
Professional management must:
- Be aware of many laws and regulations—real estate, corporate and labor laws; federal laws and state statutes and government regulations.
- Have a working knowledge of finances, accounting, budget preparation, taxes and insurance.
- Have strong personnel management skills—hiring and supervising contractors and staff.
- Work and communicate effectively with residents, resolve disputes and facilitate communications.
- Have a keen understanding of property maintenance—landscaping, repairs and replacements, facilities upkeep and mechanical maintenance.
- Coach and mentor the board members who govern the association. They help conduct meetings, supervise elections and ensure compliance with governing documents. Governance is one key area where property management and community management differ.
