Community Association Manager

What is a community association manager in your HOA?

A community association manager works with a homeowners association (HOA) to manage the day-to-day operations of the community. Typically more common for larger associations and condo buildings, they assist the board with crucial tasks such as financial management, conflict resolution, maintenance supervision, and resident relations. Community association managers also provide recommendations for how to improve the community and help the board streamline their management process.

Community association managers are elected by the HOA board or appointed by a professional management company. They have the skills and experience needed to manage HOAs and work with residents to enhance their quality of life in the community.

Why is a community association manager important?

Problems arise when an HOA has trouble managing their community. Issues such as poor communication, financial errors, and lack of planning lead to resident frustration and friction between board members. An association manager has the power to get the HOA and community on the right track. 

A community association manager pinpoints areas that need improvement and takes a proactive approach to making changes. They do everything from helping the HOA create an effective budget to serving as the point of contact for residents. Community association managers also act as a neutral party and help resolve disputes between residents and the HOA. Their work creates a harmonious environment in the community, makes board members’ jobs easier, and boosts property values.
