  • 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Hiring an Association Manager

    Association managers can make life easier for a community’s board of directors — but hiring the right association manager can be challenging, even for well-established boards.

    Candidates who look good on paper don’t always have what it takes to deliver.

However, they don’t necessarily indicate if the candidate has the capacity, skillset, and leadership qualities to keep your community on track.

    In fact, poor matches are often the result of not digging deep enough. To improve your chances of hiring the best association manager, here are five mistakes to avoid during the screening and interviewing process.

    January 11, 2023 at 2:00 PM

    Serving as a homeowner association (HOA) board member is a rewarding and meaningful way to give back to your community. You can engage with your neighbors at a deeper level and to get to know people you may otherwise have never met.

    It’s also a consequential role that presents its share of challenges.

As a result, board members must sometimes make difficult decisions or be subject to complaints from neighbors and friends.
