Orinda's downtown organization describes two connected but distinct commercial districts. For HOA boards, a similarly clear responsibility map can prevent ambiguity over common areas and vendor access. Provide the governing documents, current budget and project log when comparing management. Ask how the proposed service keeps owners informed and records decisions from initial request through completion. A nearby civic or commercial facility should be treated as context, not as an association obligation.
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.”
