Atherton's park information distinguishes public facilities and their permitted uses. HOA boards should make the same distinction when preparing a management brief: public amenities are context, while the governing documents establish the association's actual obligations. Bring the asset inventory, operating budget and current contracts. Ask prospective managers to explain how they would organize recurring work, preserve records and keep board decisions connected to vendor instructions and completed tasks.
Chapter Two · The $40,000 story
Sunnyvale, CA · Norman’s community
First month. First financial review. $40,000 in overpriced vendors, exposed.
From the board president
“Within months, nexova ai reduced our lighting maintenance costs from $40,000 to $1,400, cut our insurance premiums by 50%, and helped us reduce a projected 50% dues increase down to 15%. When we held a community vote through the app, 77% of homeowners participated. This is what management should look like.”
