  • We assist in developing initial budgets and long term reserve planning.
  • We assist in transition from the developer-managed to the owner-managed community.

BENEFITSfishing

  • Because of the number of associations we manage, we many times can combine projects with our other associations and negotiate lower prices. We have successfully done that with road resurfacing, tennis court resurfacing, playground equipment replacement, replacement reserve study development, and painting.
  • We have successfully worked with developer-controlled boards of directors and transitioned the community to owner-controlled boards of directors, understanding the unique needs and goals of each.
  • We provide a needed level of consistency and stability during officer and board member transitions.
  • There is value in knowing the past, present, and vision for the future.

Our focus is generally an all-inclusive service at a set price so we can ensure that our clients get the services they need while being able to accurately budget for those services.
