How do Association Managers help with Board communications?

What is a Special Assessment?
The Community Association’s Board of Directors may levy a Special Assessment for the purpose of defraying the cost of any unexpected repair or to meet any other deficiencies in operations or reserves. This one-time fee, charged separately from your usual budgeted assessment, covers a specific expense. It may be an unexpected emergency or short-term major repair expense. Your Association Manager can be of great help on many levels when this happens.
-
How does an Association Manager help with “common area maintenance?”
Common areas need to be safe, well maintained and properly insured. Your Association Manager has access to professional and competitively priced contractors. They educate the board on budget forecasts for maintenance and implement the maintenance schedule. This helps preserve, maintain and improve the property and provides predictions for future expenditures. A manager assists the Board with transparency and helps avoid conflict of interest with vendors.
