Developer Services
Working to ensure long term success for your HOA developments
Ensuring your communities are in good hands
HOA Developer Services and Transition Plans
At Kindred Management Group, we understand that the foundation of a thriving community is laid long before the first resident moves in. With nearly 20 years of experience in the HOA management industry, we provide developers with the strategic partnership needed to navigate the complexities of community formation, administrative setup, and the eventual transition to homeowner control.
As a locally owned and independent firm, we offer a refreshing alternative to oversized corporate management. We are not just service providers; we are community caretakers who ensure your development’s vision is protected while building the long-term property values that attract discerning buyers.
Strategic Planning and Formation Services
The legal and financial structure of an association takes shape in the project’s early design stages. The decisions made here—regarding the relationship between buildings, amenities, and land—dictate whether the association will function as a condominium, townhome, mixed-use, or master-planned community.
Kindred provides the expert guidance necessary to ensure these forms match your target market and translate into sustainable monthly assessments. Our planning services include:
- Comprehensive Budget Preparation: Creating realistic financial blueprints that ensure the community is well-funded from day one.
- Governing Document Review: A professional management review of Articles of Incorporation, CC&Rs, and Bylaws to ensure they are practical and provide flexibility for the developer and for future boards.
- Amenity & Service Planning: Advising on the services to be delivered by the association to enhance the resident experience and marketability.
- Sales Team Training: Empowering your sales team to accurately represent the association’s benefits and structure to prospective buyers.
The Seamless Transition: From Declarant to Board Control
The transition from developer (declarant) control to a homeowner-led Board of Directors is one of the most critical stages in a community’s life cycle. A poorly managed turnover can lead to liability exposure and resident dissatisfaction, while a well-executed transition fosters unity and trust.
Kindred specializes in managing this transition with transparency and integrity. We handle the “heavy lifting” to make the process painless and efficient for the developer and the emerging board. Our transition services include:
- Transition Roadmap: Preparing a clear plan for the transfer of the Board of Directors from developer control to homeowner control.
- Common Area Acceptance: Creating a schedule and plan for the professional acceptance of common areas, ensuring all assets are in good working order.
- Resident Education & Manuals: Preparing buyer reference guides and manuals that set clear expectations for life within the association.
- Warranty Service Integration: Reviewing and managing the delivery program for warranty services to protect both the developer and the residents.
