How to Keep Your HOA's Social Media Out of the Gutter
Nobody likes people who constantly stir up trouble. You've seen them on Facebook, Nextdoor, and online forums: instigators, rabble rousers, gadflies. Whatever you call them, they're pretty annoying to the rest of us. And even worse, they have a way of ruining your otherwise pleasant social media experience. But whatever their problem is, it doesn't have to be YOUR problem.The key is to keep things clean and friendly without clogging up the social flow. A robust and user-friendly social media application can do a lot of the work for you, leaving you with a healthier, happier HOA.

Effective HOA Communication… No. Really.
Ever wondered why nobody reads your HOA or condo newsletter? The vast majority of homeowners are like everyone else: busy and distracted. Information must be incredibly easy to get, and in bite-sized chunks. Asking a 32-year-old with a family and career to sit and read a newsletter is like nailing pudding to a wall. Not gonna happen. Not to worry! There are much better ways to communicate today. If you do it right, your budget, your homeowners, and the trees, will thank you.
Your HOA Website Matters
Your HOA website is your community's billboard to the world. It will make a difference in what prospective home buyers think about your community and how well it's run. Like any business entity, your website is your face to the world. When people are researching places to live, the first thing they do is go online for information. Your website is where those people will get the feel for what your community is all about, and what it might be like to live there. If they can't find what they want, pucker up. Because you can kiss those potential residents goodbye. And that's sure to have a negative impact on property values.
