“It’s Not Me It’s You” Knowing When to Fire a Client
If you’re a community association manager (CAM), you’ve probably had one of those clients who soaks up too much of your time and energy. This type of client can be stressful and exhausting for managers and will, in the long run, affect your overall customer service and reduce profits.The question is — What to do about it?

When an HOA board discovers construction defects in the common property it’s faced with some very difficult decisions.

To CAM License or Not to License. That Is the Question.
Most states in the US don’t require you to get a license to manage community associations. But every state requires you to get a license if you want to cut hair for a living. You’ve got to admit — this is more than a little ironic.There’s an expectation for a certain standard of service in our industry but there is little official accountability. Insurance agents, real estate agents, plumbers, and contractors all require a license. Why not community association managers?
