Let's talk about Costs...

Most budgets are in precarious balance. Homeowners have little understanding of costs and no interest in any increase in assessments. Boards have a duty to review all expenses and to spend money carefully, but a higher duty to maximize property values.

 Management fees at 5 to 10% of total costs are a significant expense. There is always someone who will offer a service for less to get the business. The management selected will guide and help the Board in controlling the other 90% of costs.

 If a “bargain” manager charged 50% less but was 10% less competent in controlling costs, your overall costs would increase 5%. And there is far more than 10% difference in management. Paying a higher management fee will not guarantee lower costs, but the reverse is almost certainly true.

 In selecting professional services, “street-smart” purchasers know that the value is in the quality. You don’t get qualified professionals at the lowest prices. Select a management company based not on fees, but on their ability to control your costs and provide effective professional advice.

So what's the difference with DNI?

Your Board has responsibility for property values and the quality of life of homeowners. They will need sophisticated, experienced advice. Court precedents and community management practices are constantly changing the rules.

The Board’s most important duty is to appoint a qualified management company. This is not a job for part-timers or beginners. 

The bottom line on performance is property value. Over time, the management company selected by your Board will make all the difference.
