The 4 Key Steps to Acri Property Management Services
1. Financial Reporting: A well-run homeowners association should have on-going studies conducted by engineers and other construction specialists to identify how much money they should be socking away to meet future needs. A sufficient amount should be included in annual budgets and reserves to meet these long-term needs. The best way to do this is for your homeowner’s association to be professionally managed where someone other than the board of directors collects the dues, pays the bills and generates financial reports for review.
• Monthly Financial reports and comprehensive reserve studies.
• A Fiscal End of Year Report.
• Year to date Budgets and Budget Comparisons.
2. A Solid Business Plan: Once you have the key financial documents in hand you can now move on to this area.
• Which property assets are your weakest and in need of immediate attention
• Determine the average life-span of common elements
• Develop a replace/repair cycle to accommodate these findings.
• Is your current fee structure able to adequately fund reserves?
• What is your special assessment policy?
3. Insurance reviews and audits: Insurance is one of those things that many of us don’t think about until we need it. Unfortunately, with the tremendous exposure of homeowners associations to liability claims, this is an area where homeowners associations cannot afford to make any mistakes.
• Make sure you have the correct coverage to match your CC&R’s.
• Ask management to seek new quotes to make sure you are getting the best value.
• Make sure the Board Directors properly insured against personal liability claims
• Make sure Property Management Company have comprehensive coverage?
4. Experienced Managers: Exactly who is your Manager? Even though many States do not require special licensing you need seasoned industry educated professionals to take care of you.
• What certifications does the Management Company and Managers hold?
• Is there a Broker of Record, Licensed Insurance Property and Casualty expert and licensed Real Estate professionals on staff?
• Consider a company certified by the Community Associations Institute. This Alexandria, Va.-based organization has a range of certifications for companies and individual managers.
• Be sure the company performs criminal background checks on its employees, especially its managers.
