Homeowners Association (HOA) directors can make between $300,000 to $500,000 a year. HOA board members aren't as lucky. Most of the time, they're volunteers.
Therefore, most HOA board members should have jobs outside of their HOA positions. They likely also have families to take care of and activities they enjoy. The HOA can only place so many tasks on their shoulders before they collapse.
That's where HOA management services come in. The workers at these services can take some or all HOA tasks off the volunteers' shoulders. Read on to learn about three other ways HOA managers can help an HOA.
1. Legal Help
One major weakness of using only HOA volunteers is that it's unlikely they will have highly useful skills. For example, it would be amazing if one of the HOA members had legal experience. But this is a rare occurrence:
Has Legal Knowledge
A homeowners association management company, however, should have that legal knowledge. Their workers have been working with HOAs for years and have likely come across these issues before. If they can't handle the legal matter themselves, they will know legal professionals who can help them through it.
2. Enforcing HOA Policies
Another issue with HOA volunteers is that they know many of the community members personally. This can make it difficult for them to go over and enforce HOA policies:
No Personal Connections
An HOA manager likely won't have the same personal connections. They won't be emotionally compromised when they collect HOA fees, handle HOA evictions of tenants, etc.
3. Getting Maintenance Help
The HOA is in charge of making the community look great. Doing this means hiring landscapers to clean up public areas, maintenance workers to maintain public facilities, and so on. However, HOA volunteers may not have the time to set up appointments with these workers:
Poor-Quality Professionals
On top of this, the HOA members should shop around a bit so that they can find the best professionals. They may not have time for this either. They could end up grabbing a poor-quality professional that does a poor job and makes the community look worse than before.
How to Get the Best
This is why an HOA manager service should step in. The workers at this service will have the time to find and hire the right professionals. They may also already know some professionals that can handle the tasks at hand.
