How boards can protect resident experience during major Georgia high-rise projects

There are many benefits to living in a master-planned community. Master-planned living clearly focuses on offering a certain level of convenience, lifestyle and quality of life.

All associations are led by a Board of Directors. The Board is generally comprised of homeowners elected by their peers to serve the residents of the community and make decisions in their best interests.

Is your Board familiar with the term “fair living space”? If not, then you should familiarize yourself with the concept as it can have a profound effect on your community and your residents.

If you ask anyone to describe what a great community looks like, they are likely to paint the picture of happy homeowners, smiling residents enjoying amenities, and well-kept neighborhoods that look amazing.

As a member of your Board, you know what the future holds for your community association. What about those issues you can't control? How will you handle them when they pop up?

Community association management has been around for 50 years, making tremendous strides in that short time, as have the communities that have benefited from having professional teams managing their property.

When it comes to the maintenance of your community, issues will arise. Preventative maintenance helps keep future problems at bay, many communities have begun implementing predictive maintenance as well.

Electric cars have arrived and there has been a surge of plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) purchases driving the need for charging stations. What does this mean for your association?

Ready to trade in your gas card for some time at the charging station? If so, you'll join those who have made the switch from gasoline-powered vehicles to plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs).

Conflict of interest can be a real threat to your association. Learning how to recognize and avoid conflicts of interest can go a long way toward ensuring the strength and stability of your community.
