Purchasers of condominiums, townhomes, co-ops and single family homes within an association face a daunting task of not only considering the purchase of the home, but also the determination of evaluating the financial health and livability of the association.  There are many publications that address these issues.  However, the condo book is the one resource that can familiarize the reader with attributes of associations, documents to request when considering a purchase, questions to ask and ways to determine red flags, if any, relating to the financial health of the association and whether the rules and regulations of the association fit a buyer’s particular lifestyle. 

Realtors are in a perfect position of advising purchasers of homes within an association and can greatly benefit from concepts in The Condo Book.  Although the analysis and decision to buy a home within an association rests with the buyer, being knowledgeable of the concepts in The Condo Book can help the process of buying the home move swiftly and smoothly.

The Condo Book not only provides a foundation for understanding the basic attributes of associations, the condo book also provides best practice suggestions and tips on creating community within an association.  The Condo Book can be used as a reference manual for board members in governing and decision making. Regular members of associations can also use the condo book as a guide in knowing if the association is managed in accordance with best practices.

Managers of community associations can use The Condo Book as a resource in providing services to the association by employing best practices and assisting the board and community in promoting a financially sound association as well as a healthy lifestyle.

Professionals such as attorneys, managers, accountants, bookkeepers, insurance agents, contractors and other vendors providing services to associations need to be knowledgeable of how associations are formed, governed and operated.  The Condo Book can greatly increase the understanding of these concepts and can improve professional relationships with management companies and board members.
