Richmond's city-defined neighborhood map shows why a single city name is not a complete property description. An association should identify its neighborhood, common elements and existing maintenance arrangements before seeking a proposal. Ask for a transition plan that covers financial records, open repairs and owner contacts. For any shared exterior, parking or landscaped area, the service agreement should state the responsibility clearly instead of inferring it from the surrounding neighborhood.
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.”
