					  <description><![CDATA[A Budget planning is a key component of any association's operations and preparation, and usually falls on the property manager's shoulders. However, he or she does more than just what the title implies&#8212;the manager is a "jack of all trades"&#8212;they must oversee daily operations in addition to acting as a liaison to the board on a variety of issues from financial matters to refereeing disputes amongst homeowners. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ As construction and home ownership continue to be a 
 growth industry in New Jersey, one issue that will be faced by more and 
 more HOA members is the transfer of power from community developers and 
 sponsors to the new homeowners who will actually be living in the 
 community. Though not everyone reading this article will agree with 
 everything in it&#8212;or even anything in it&#8212;few would disagree that 
 the power transfer is not always an easy or entirely transparent process.

 incoming new board members observe the following helpful points: ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Where do property managers learn their stuff? 
 They're not born knowing how to broker peace between feuding 
 neighbors or who to call when the storm gutters are flooded, so they must 
 learn their trade from other experts. There are a number of organizations 
 across the country that specialize in training management professionals, 
 either through institutional curriculum at universities and community 
 colleges, or through independently-run programs that allow current and 
 future property managers to work toward professional accreditation. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Sixteen years ago, Wayde Scheffer was a vice-president with United National Bank in Califon, New Jersey. He was also president of his condo association board, and he wasn't particularly impressed with the parade of management companies that he had been charged with interviewing. "This is how we do things" seemed to be the party line among company representatives at the time, Scheffer recalls&#8212;a take-it-or-leave it approach that he felt didn't offer much hope for personalized service. At some point in the selection process, a fellow board member turned to Scheffer with a momentous suggestion: "Geez, Wayde&#8212;you should do this!" And so he did. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[What makes an association manager really successful? Is it hands-on attention to each association in their portfolio, or their ability to point wayward boards in the right direction to solve their own problems? Do great managers have to know the name of every board member in every association they handle? Since each association community has its own personality and culture, maybe it's most instructive to ask managers themselves what they think separates the great from the merely good. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Comedian George Carlin got it right&#8212;all we want is a little space for our stuff. Ample storage space is a precious commodity, and residents are often left on their own to invent creative ways to store bikes, sports equipment, holiday decorations, office supplies, out-of-season clothing, treasured collectibles and memorabilia and, ultimately, even more varieties of stuff. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ The term "multi-tasking" may have been 
 coined to describe property managers: their line of work requires its 
 practitioners to know a little something about nearly everything, to have 
 an impeccable demeanor, lightning-quick problem solving skills, and of 
 course the patience of a saint. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Of the many responsibilities a managing agent has to 
 fulfill for a homeowners association, one of their most vital is 
 coordinating the flow of information between the board and the association 
 members, and keeping that information secure. That adds up&#8212;even in a 
 small association, there's a lot of paperwork to handle, including 
 financial records, legal documents, homeowner correspondence and management 
 statements from board meetings&#8212;and it's important that the 
 documents be available to board members when needed. The flow of 
 information between the managing agent and board is a vital part of their 
 relationship. ]]></description>
