in the community, and supports your
and the board’s vision, the opportunity
to get up and speak. This will allow
them to further describe the vision of
these improvements and what it would
mean for the community itself and the
resale value of his home. No longer
would this community be considered
the tired community, instead, poten-
tial buyers and appraisers would
overtime see a freshly paved, newly
painted community and a new club-
house redone. The landscaping will
be maintained with other amenities
replaced overtime. Quickly, despite
fluctuating real estate markets, homes
within the community will realize the
return on investment.
One cannot expect to replicate the
lifestyle of the modern chic hotel in their
community association without also
expecting to pay for it. This expense
is for both the immediate enjoyment
and continual modernization of the
amenities. When this is clearly under-
stood and properly planned for year
after year, modern amenities are then
a very good thing. When this is not
clearly understood and not properly
planned for year after year, amenities
unattended to can be perceived as a
curse. In conclusion, if your commu-
nity has amenities, it is in your best
interest to keep them modern. Then,
they will be viewed as an asset rather
than a liability.
