What Are the Benefits of Using an HOA Property Management Company?

HOA( Home Owners Association) property management can mean the difference between success and failure for a particular community.  If a community is small, it may be self-managed just fine.  If a community is larger, it’s almost impossible to ensure all homeowners are following the rules of the association.

Hiring an HOA property management company to handle most responsibilities day-to-day does several things for a homeowner’s community. Number one, it makes sure that rules and policies are clear and defined, and that everyone knows what they are and can follow them. Number two, it ensures consistency with enforcing those policies or rules, so that there’s never a perception of unfair treatment, favoritism, lax handling of difficulties as they arise, or inability to see and respond to problems, fixing them as soon as possible after they arise.

Consistency is especially key, because homeowners association management can decide policy issues with the help of the board and clarify HOA laws as well. This is often done best with an HOA property management company’s assistance, because enforcing those policies and making sure all residents know about them can be a difficult task and may be impossible to be completely consistent within self managed communities.

It can also be difficult to handle the diverse difficulties brought to management’s attention without proper experience or training, but a good HOA property management company will have experience in doing so, so that they can deal with problems calmly and effectively.

Hiring an HOA property management company also ensures that vendors and legal firms are kept in good stead, with good relationships, so that if legal issues or other difficulties should arise, they can be taken care of immediately. Vendors are happy to work with a well-run homeowners association, because they know they’re going to be paid on time, which means that community residents’ needs are always going to be fulfilled.

Finally, because HOA property management companies’ business depends on the happiness of residents overall, it’s also in their best interest to make sure that the community they manage is kept safe, clean, well-maintained, and has the amenities residents need and desire. A good HOA property management company is going to work hard to keep HOA residents happy and to make them proud of their homes and of the homeowners association.

For this to all work, of course, HOA property management companies must work hard to maintain a constant line of open communication with residents. That is, the company in question must have an “open door” policy, and the management company must also truly take into consideration residents’ concerns and desires, not just simply tell them to “follow the rules,” because they’re in place. In other words, flexibility as well as open communication is imperative for a well functioning HOA community.
