Community Association Management

Community association management companies assist the directors and officers manage the day to day operations of their communities. They provide traditional services such as supervising and negotiating with vendors (insurance, landscapers, pool maintenance, etc.), performing on-site inspections of the property, helping set-up and maintain monthly and yearly budgets, assisting with calculating necessary reserve amounts, and preparing or assisting with the preparation of monthly financial statements, as well as numerous other services.

Legal Counsel

Traditionally, associations also hire an attorney who provides legal advice, interprets the governing documents, and drafts amendments to the governing documents. Sometimes the attorney will also attend Board and Member meetings, guide the Board on policy issues, and assist with assessment collections by sending demand letters and filing liens on property.
