HOA Property Managers: Providing Professional Expertise to Homeowners Associations

HOA Property Managers: Providing Professional Expertise to Homeowners Associations

The Community Associations Institute reports that Texas has 22,300 community associations, including homeowners associations (HOAs). Approximately 6.12 million Texans live in them, and most (67%) describe their living experience as "positive."

Your HOA in Cypress, TX, should aim for the same since happy residents contribute to a positive community vibe. Happier tenants are also more likely to adhere to the association's rules.

To achieve that goal, consider hiring HOA property managers.

In this guide, PMI Values Your Casa will explore how partnering with professionals is one of the best HOA management strategies you can implement for your association.

Help Keep the HOA's Finances Intact

Helping the HOA with its financial tasks is one of the primary responsibilities of association managers. With a dedicated manager, your HOA's board of directors can get assistance for the following:

  • Assessing and collecting HOA fees
  • Imposing and processing HOA penalties
  • Organizing and preparing financial records
  • Drafting and filing tax returns
  • Reviewing and managing the HOA's budget
  • Performing accurate bookkeeping and financial reporting
  • Making wise financial decisions for the benefit of the community and its residents

Property manager expertise in accounting and financing can help keep your association's budget intact and ensure the appropriate use of its funds. Moreover, they can help your HOA meet legal compliance, such as with the IRS.

Uphold Property Values

As the National Association of Realtors points out, homes with HOAs can be worth around 5% to 6% more than similar houses without associations.

HOA properties have higher values since their communities have desirable features, amenities, and facilities (e.g., clubhouses, fitness centers, parks, etc.). They're also typically better maintained, considering HOAs often have stringent architectural standards and requirements.

But what if your HOA struggles to enforce those standards? Perhaps the board has become disorganized and has difficulty overseeing the community's maintenance.

Either way, experienced association managers can help. They have a network of highly vetted and trustworthy vendors and contractors who can expertly handle the upkeep of the following:

  • Communal spaces
  • Shared amenities
  • Building and building facilities
  • Residents' homes

The most reliable HOA managers also provide residents with online portals. They allow users to:

  • Quickly file maintenance requests
  • Pay HOA dues and repair fees
  • Conveniently book amenities and facilities

Improved HOA Community Wellness

Highly experienced association managers can provide the board with a wealth of knowledge regarding HOA best practices, such as:

  • Governing the community
  • Communicating and fostering better relationships with residents
  • Resolving conflicts

HOA managers can also act on behalf of the board. They can enforce the association's covenants and serve as impartial mediators for conflict resolution.
