Hiring a Property Management Company Doesn’t Have to be Scary
Managing the complexities of an entire community is a daunting task. However, relinquishing responsibilities to a company that specializes in community management should be far from scary. At EZR, we strive to make property management painless for you. Embracing the services of a company like ours can transform what seems like a burden for HOAs into a seamless and rewarding community experience. Below, we offer advice for HOAs that are thinking about hiring a property manager but are a little hesitant to get started.
Know the benefits
HOA management services, like those EZR offers, take responsibility for tasks that may be too substantial for the board. For example, we can manage monthly collection of HOA dues, provide monthly reporting to your HOA board, champion maintenance requests and more. We also build budgets, manage financials and help your HOA develop capital replacement plans for long-term needs – such as roofs, windows, parking lots and exteriors. We will provide guidance that will increase property values in your community.
Ask questions
Knowing a management company’s communication style is extremely important before signing on with them. At EZR, there are two Cs that define the way we aim to communicate with HOAs – consultation and collaboration. A balance between these two concepts, especially when working with HOAs, drives our success. Our top priority when working with a new HOA board is to understand their residents’ desires, pain points, etc. From there, we consult with the board to offer recommendations on how to enhance resident communication and satisfaction. We then collaborate to ensure those projects come to fruition.
Establish a true partnership
If you view your property manager as a true partner, you have a much higher chance of a successful relationship and a successful investment. Know that, if you hire a property manager with significant experience and that you’ve vetted, they should always work with your best interest in mind. Ultimately, the involvement of a property management company allows your HOA board to focus on strategic initiatives and long-term goals, improving the overall quality of life for residents.
