HOA Developer Transition Set Up and Management

Preparing for first time sales within a developing community can be a very time consuming and exasperating process.

Finding a community association management company that knows the requirements, is an expert at setting up documents and who can build a proper database for first time sales is crucial to launching an association that runs smoothly throughout the construction and sales process.

We specialize in forming the HOA developer transition, ensuring that it is set up and run properly under your watch on the Board of Directors.

Association Structure

The birth and management of a new community is uniquely different than managing older, existing associations. While the developer controls the Board of Directors, they also must ensure that the Association complies with all Civil Codes, that the developer stays at arm's length from potential conflicts of interest, and that everything operates in accordance with DRE requirements. Maintenance walk-throughs are major events, a single error in adopting the association's budget can invalidate the public report, and myriad well-meant activities can materially change the offering.

Association Management

We have extensive experience in setting up and providing early-stage management to associations of all types: condominiums, town homes, high-rises, master planned communities. Our managers are specifically trained to understand this special world of the new association. While working to guide you through the perils listed above, they are equally concerned with forming a solid, new community with homeowners who are proud of where they live.

Maintenance Acceptance Walkthrough

The Maintenance Acceptance by the association is always a difficult issue in the life of a new association. Typically, the association does not understand that they own the property already, and that the "acceptance" is primarily to obtain an arms-length, third party opinion on the state of the property at the time of transfer. Our company is uniquely qualified to conduct such walk-through inspections. Because we specialize in Common Interest Developments from all aspects, we understand the human concerns of all parties as well as the construction issues.

Whether you are a developer, or a representative of a homeowners association, we can answer any questions you might have about the HOA developer transition structure, governance and management.
