Working along with a Property Management Company to oversee how your surrounding neighbourhood or housing/condo complex is run can be rather overwhelming to comprehend especially to those who are unclear about the purpose and role of a management company. Irrespective of you being new to the community or having lived for decades in a complex that is looked after by a management company, figuring out how they serve your community can help you see the bigger picture as to how important is this partnership.
Let’s see how the management company fits with your community management association
Though they work together, they both have different abilities and functions
The Community Management Association comprises residents who voluntarily oversee the running of the community whereas the property management company is an outside entity with expertise in the legal requirements and day-to-day operations that help communities function smoothly. Such companies have significant experience handling the countless challenges that comes with overseeing a community. These include providing expert recommendations regarding liability issues, interpersonal conflicts, outside vendor selection and management, and long and short-term financial guidance.
Both have the same goal – to safeguard your property values and enhance the enjoyment within the community
The Community Management Association establishes and maintains a vision for the community and the company offers advice and suggestions to achieve that vision while staying legally compliant. Using guidance from the management company into providing input into precedent and other legal compliance considerations, the board decides on the rules and regulations. Even though the management company offers input based on experience guiding communities toward success, ultimately the responsibility for all decisions rests on the shoulders of the board of directors.
A healthy rapport and a clear line of communication has to exist between the residents, community management association and the management company
Clear communication between these three groups is the grease that keeps the machine running smoothly. If there are certain doubts, then it needs to be clarified by reaching out to a board member or the community manager. The board member and the company should then provide logical reasoning behind the rules and regulations. There also needs to be frequent updates about decisions that impact the community. Ultimately, the community is run by regular folks and their job is to make decisions on behalf of all the homeowners within that community. Successful communities are composed of residents, board members and management companies who take their roles seriously and understand how each complements the others.
