Apartment Owners Network

A little while ago, two of our members gave a presentation on self management at one of our monthly meetings. It’s something that quite a few apartment complexes have talked about but only a small number have actually done. It can be hard to decide if it’s right for your complex and if your directors have the skills and commitment needed to make it work. Their presentation will be a big help to anyone considering it.

We have two members of the group giving a presentation on self-management (cutting out the managing agent). With owners demanding reduced service charges and better service, this is a very important issue and is a path well worth considering.

After the presentation, we’ll be doing a Q&A related to the talk and then a general Q&A.

To make sure this goes ahead on time and that developers can’t claim that they weren’t aware, we’ve prepared a letter for you to send to them. To find out more, read here.
