Being exclusively in HOA and Condo association management, we have learned over the years that it takes a very unique set of skills to make a great HOA manager. An individual manager must cater to a variety of people, with many different needs and wants, and deliver results in a very timely fashion, all while being in budget and executed with a smile. The position requires organization and attentiveness along with a balance of a variety of property management skills.
When it boils down to it, an association manager is really 5 jobs in 1. We have compiled a list of the essential professional skills that help go into making a good HOA manager.
This means remembering a few keys things to help projects move smoothly and quickly. Your contractors are professionals in their line of work just like yourself. They deserve to be compensated for their time when they assist you. At the same time, the more you know about fence replacement, concrete work, landscaping, etc, the better off you will be as a manager. Understanding approximate costs of small projects, and the time frames that are associated with them, will help you as an HOA manager to better understand jobs specs and project bids.
Weather it’s negotiating a better rate from contractor, solving a neighbor vs. neighbor dispute, or pleasing 7 different personalities on your board of directors, the ability to be a problem solver is priceless. Unfortunately to is impossible to please everyone. Our job as a HOA or Condo management professionals is to please as many people while still holding true to the responsibilities that we were hired to do: Maintain and improve property values, and help manage a community with efficiency, timeliness while still obeying being compliant with the regional and state laws of your land.
It takes a variety of unique skills to make a well-rounded HOA community manager. Not all HOA managers are the same just like no one our earth is exactly the same. Many have a set of specialty skills that we didn’t discuss here that only add to their overall value an association manager. We believe at their core, many proven managers and management companies embody these essential skills and characteristics.
