ASSOCIATION MANAGER

Meet your greatest ally in association management. Our Association Managers have the training and experience necessary to give your community proven recommendations and knowledgeable support for your individual association needs. Your association manager attends and documents all meetings, handles vendors, strategizes and plans for future needs – and in turn, is your board’s action arm.

KEY TRAITS OF A COMPETENT MANAGER

As Coach – The Manager coaches the Board of Directors in its duties and helps organize and conduct meetings to improve their effectiveness for policy-making. The effective Manager helps the President stay focused on business for maximum efficiency. The Manager should advise when Board discussions and/or actions appear to deviate from the Association’s governing documents.

As Organizer – The Manager should play an active role in the thorough preparation and organization of meetings by assisting in the preparation of agendas.   The Manager should, as necessary, present a concise and understandable report focused on the agenda. The Manager should anticipate and provide answers to the Board’s questions in said report.

As Tactician – The Manager must understand the dynamics of the Board of Directors in order to anticipate their questions. The Manager should get to know and understand each Board member’s personality, background, and experience. Constructive suggestions must be delivered tactfully recognizing varying levels of sensitivity.

As Communicator – Our goal is to respond back in-kind within 24 hours.  Clear communication is mission critical when it comes to solving problems and accomplishing task delegation.  

As Diplomat – Phone calls fielded by Managers deal with financial, maintenance, and general information questions. Sometimes callers are upset and angry. By attentiveness and asking questions, the Manager can demonstrate the incredibly effective communication tool of caring. Once the caller feels understood, the Manager can move on to problem solving. As the saying goes, “They don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”

Ethics – Managers must make an intentional effort to avoid conflicts of interest or any appearance of impropriety. Your Association Manager must strive for transparency and open communication in relations with Association members, vendors, owners, and investors.

CUSTOMER SERVICE ADMINISTRATOR (CSA)

We’re proactive, so none of your issues go unresolved. The CSA is your 2nd level of backup in association management.  Your CSA is active in the everyday issues and handles community member concerns.  They really become key troubleshooters and “fixers”.  They bring real value to the Board and community.  Board members have access to some powerful tools and training that help them in being effective board members, and our CSA’s strive to assist community members, as well as, Board members at all times.

REGIONAL VICE PRESIDENT

It’s always good to have a backup. Your Regional Vice President has seen it all in their years in the industry, meaning your backup has the ability to catch oversights we’ve encountered in the past. They are kept up to date on all community business and can step in without missing a beat. They can also bring in extra resources to solve tough problems or resolve issues.

ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT

To make things even easier, community members also have a backup for their payment issues with our Accounting Department. Towne Properties Raleigh District has fully staffed accounts payable and accounts receivable departments with trusted experts ready to help.
