Lafayette's parks directory identifies the plaza at Moraga Road and Mount Diablo Boulevard and the reservoir off Highway 24. Those landmarks help locate a community, but they should not be treated as HOA assets. When comparing managers, map the actual common areas and name the vendors working on them. Ask how the board will review proposals, authorize work and retain a searchable record of maintenance decisions and spending.
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.”
