Key: Proven Leader, High Standards
Board training. We believe knowledge is power for helping board members reach their goals.
- The first step is board training, which is provided by Key Community Management at no charge and is offered every year.
- The training is conducted by industry professionals including Diana Kennedy, Director of the Legal Resources Department, with over 20 years of experience as a paralegal in the community association legal industry. Diana takes great pride in assisting HOAs with a variety of operational matters including acting as a liaison with Association attorneys. A confident and knowledgeable board is a successful board!
Violation Enforcement. Communities want all homes brought into compliance quickly. To do that the community manager should be in control of the complete violation process and work together with owners to bring them into compliance. This includes:
- Onsite inspections, compliance letter mailings, and if not resolved, schedule and conduct hearings with the board.
- If an owner incurs a violation fine, this is documented on their account and a statement is mailed.
- Most communities like to have two site inspections a month and email board members the inspection report for their review monthly.
A/R Management. We offer an aggressive and consistent process.
- Our software automatically generates letters to a delinquent owner allowing a period of time to pay.
- We understand that collecting money involves extensive knowledge of HOA collection parameters based on state law and your Covenants, coupled with the ability to persuade debtors to pay with minimal added costs to them.
- We partner with law firms specializing in HOA law to place liens and follow the legal collection process once turned over to their office for resolution.
- Above all, our professional and diplomatic staff works with people through difficult periods to bring them into payment compliance with the least amount of costs.
