Homeowner's associations (HOA) make up as much as 63% of all community associations in the United States today. HOAs have boards that govern the neighborhoods. These associations improve the way that they are run.
To get improved performance out of your HOA board, you need an HOA manager or company that can assist you. Knowing what you're looking for from these managers helps Georgia property owners get the best benefits from their HOAs.
These tips will help you find association management companies that can help you get the best from your neighborhood.
Choose Proven HOA Management
Always go with history and credibility when choosing a homeowner's association manager. Just like renters have high standards for landlords, association members also have expectations of the HOA.
Find managers who have proven experience in taking HOAs from places of need and improving them. Learn which communities the HOA management company has worked with before, and do your research on how they have improved over the past few years.
You can check their references and speak to the HOA board to get their impression of what it's like to work with the HOA management company and to make sure that they're up to the task of managing your community.
Make Sure They're Organized and Tech-Centric
You'll get more from the benefits of HOA living when the organization is tech-centric and up-to-date.
First, a good homeowner's association management company should help improve meeting participation and attendance. It's easier to do this when meetings are held in a comfortable location and also streamed for HOA members.
They should keep archives of the meeting audio and video and should make it easy for the community to give feedback. This can happen through surveys and regular communication through SMS and e-mail marketing.
Keeping up with technology also shows that these professionals take their role seriously and can also improve the neighborhood to keep up with the times.
They will be more likely to make neighborhood improvements such as solar energy, energy-efficient plumbing, and sustainable landscaping.
Find Out the Services They Offer
You also need a list of the exact services that an HOA property management company will provide you. This can include a combination of things like legal services, finance, accounting, repair, and cleaning.
The more services that these management pros can offer your HOA, the better. They will help you budget for all of the services that you need for your property to be taken care of and to keep all of the property owners happy and cared for.
