What does not change between community associations is the complexity of managing the community well. Community association management can be a monumental task for any Board, especially one composed of volunteers. That is why working with a professional community association management company is so important.
At Katonah Management Services, LLC, we specialize in providing the support your community association needs, regardless of its size or type.
What is Community Association Management?
Professional community association management involves overseeing residential communities. The goal of these services is not to take control of the community association from the Board.
Instead, property managers are there to help with the day-to-day and financial tasks that can overwhelm a Board. They take the pressure off so that Board members can focus on making important decisions for their community.
While every community association is different and will have different needs, there are a few key responsibilities that community association management companies take on. These are listed below.
Enforcing the community’s rules, regulations, and covenants.
Collecting assessments.
Managing budgets.
Maintaining common areas and amenities, such as pools and clubhouses.
Coordinating with vendors.
Act as a liaison between the Board and residents.
When you partner with a professional community association management company, you will gain access to specialized knowledge and resources. You can expect a marked increase in your property values, financial stability, and resident satisfaction.
