Gilroy's municipal planning material recognizes a downtown historic district, while associations elsewhere in the city may have quite different property profiles. Boards should supply their own maintenance history, current contracts and shared-asset inventory when comparing managers. Ask how repairs move from a board decision to vendor instructions and documented completion. A proposal should also explain the record handover and routine financial reporting, rather than assume that a citywide label establishes a building's needs.
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.”
