Our Rating System

We use a comprehensive seven-dimension rating system to capture the full picture of HOA performance.

Communication

How well does your HOA keep residents informed? Are meetings announced clearly? Do they respond to inquiries?

Responsiveness

How quickly does your HOA address concerns and maintenance requests? Do they follow through on commitments?

Transparency

Are financial records accessible? Are decisions made openly? Can residents access meeting minutes and budgets?

Fairness

Are rules applied consistently? Do all residents receive equal treatment? Is the appeals process reasonable?

Financial Management

Are dues reasonable? Are reserves adequate? Is spending responsible and well-documented?

Maintenance

Are common areas well-maintained? Are repairs completed promptly? Is preventive maintenance performed?
