Many
times as Association and Board members, we feel that we don’t have a say in
what is happening at our complex. In addition, we are made to feel like the
management company is the decision maker rather than the Board of Directors.
Sometimes we call the management company to discuss a concern or problem
yet, when we hang up the phone, we feel like we got the “run around”. In
some cases, an automated attendant answers the phone and we have to try and
figure out how our problem fits into one of the pre-recorded messages.
|
These types of situations lead us to the
conclusion that the management company simply doesn’t care or is too busy
handling someone else’s problem. Lack of response, failure to communicate and
poor customer service ultimately lead to relationship breakdowns between a
management company and the Board of Directors.
Ask yourself the following questions:
-
Is your
Association running smoothly?
-
Are the
rules being fairly and effectively enforced?
-
Do board
members and owners enjoy an open, efficient line of communication with your
current management company?
-
Are your
board meetings professional, business-like gatherings where ideas are freely
exchanged in a friendly, relaxed setting?
-
Are
assessments being collected in a timely manner, and delinquencies kept to a
minimum?
-
Do you
feel like your current property manager is taking care of your concerns?
-
Are your
concerns being addressed by your current property manager in a timely
fashion?
-
Do you
have a say in which contractors perform work at your complex?
-
Does your
current management company offer your homeowners payment of their
Association fees via credit card, eCheck or ACH monthly deduction?
-
Does your
current management company subscribe to and enforce a code of ethics policy?
-
Does your
current management company offer to assemble and host your own customized
Association website allowing for secure access for your Association members
to view their account and compliance issues real-time?
-
Is your
current management company environmentally conscious and subscribe to a
program of reducing unnecessary paper waste?
-
Does your
current management company offer educational online videos via their website
for such topics as meetings, insurance and living in an Association?
