Let Us Manage Your Community

Our experience shows when an association runs smoothly, it creates a great sense of community; and after 30 years of successful property management, we have a system that works. Our approach to managing a well-run property association encompasses five essential areas: Administrative Management, Property Maintenance Services, Financial Management, Communication Management, and Regulations Enforcement.

Our dedicated property managers work closely with the association’s Board of Directors to assist them with important property management decisions. From serving as a purchasing agent to developing and preparing newsletters and co-owners handbook, we handle the association’s day-to-day activities with attention to detail. As the volunteer board of directors changes from year to year, we provide a consistent level of service in orienting new board members and in maintaining existing programs.

We cater to the needs of each community that trusts us, specializing in assisting property owners in meeting their specific property management needs. Let us help your manage your property. Contact us today to learn more.

The "ACH" system electronically transfers Association fees to the Association's bank account, which gives the co-owner the convenience of easy payments, while at the same time, the Association benefits by receiving these prearranged deposits on a timely and predictable basis.

NEWSLETTERS

• Create and maintain a forum for communication with Co-owners.
• Create an official notification medium for information on services, Board of Directors actions and policies, etc.

OWNER'S HANDBOOK

REALICO will develop an owner’s handbook at the direction of the Board of Directors as a system of familiarizing the new resident with a basic understanding of the condominium community and its governance. The handbook is a friendly way of introducing a new resident to the governing documents which contain the “Use and Occupancy Restrictions,” the “Master Deed,” “Condominiums Bylaws,” and the “Rules and Regulations” adopted by the Board of Directors.

The handbook is also usually distributed to all the Co-owners because it contains other useful information, such as a Co-owner directory, a list of contractor contact numbers and a maintenance chart describing who is responsible for many maintenance or repair items (either the association or the individual Co-owner).

Regulations Enforcement

Each community association establishes rules, regulations, and best practices to govern its community. Realico assists communities with the enforcement of rules, regulations, and policies of the Association. Working closely with the Board of Directors and property owners, Realico serves the association with knowledge and experience. We ensure that property owner’s are complying with association’s rules and regulations and act as a liaison between the association and the property owners should an issue arise. Regulation Enforcement services include:

• Develop procedures to enable residents to voice suggestions or complaints
• Support enforcement of association rules and regulations
• Help the Board of Directors work diplomatically with property owners to streamline the enforcement process
