COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION CLIPPING (CAC) PALM BEACH AND BROWARD COUNTIES EDITION

We are pleased to introduce to you the first edition of the Community Associ-

ation Clipping (CAC). The CAC was created to provide an additional and im-

portant source of information and services for Directors of Community Asso-

ciations and Developers of Residential and Commercial Properties, such as

yourself. Every month, CAC will feature some of the most reliable, experi-

enced and talented providers of services and products, currently operating and

servicing many Community Associations and Developments in your very re-

gion.

Additionally, CAC is inviting quali-

fied professionals who are service

and product providers, with recog-

nized credentials in the Community

Association and Construction Project

Development arenas, to share,

through monthly articles, their expe-

rience, vision and advice.

As you know, being well informed

and having proper professional sup-

port are two of the most vital tools to

help you in the difficult task of effectively managing your community and or

project. You can count on the Community Association Clipping (CAC) to help

you as well!

Often, directors and officers of community associations have the propensity to

think that, what they do on behalf of their community, has not been properly

appreciated or, at least, recognized, by the very members of their community.

Well, you might be a bit surprised…

According to a survey conducted by Zoigby International, a leading public opinion research firm,

Americans who live in community association are overwhelmingly pleased with their communities,

expressing strong satisfaction (Continues on page 7).

… with the board members who govern their associations and the

community managers who provide professional support. More than

seven in 10 community association residents expressed satisfaction

with their community experience. Almost 40 percent of community

association residents say they are “very pleased”, with only 10 per-

cent expressing some level of dissatisfaction. Almost 20 percent

express neither point of view.

An estimated 54 million Americans live in some 274,000 home-

owner associations, condominium communities, cooperatives and

other planned developments.

Here’s what community association residents say:

88 percent believe their governing boards strive to serve the best interests of the community.

90 percent say they are on friendly terms with their association board members, with just 4 percent indicating a

negative relationship.

86 percent say they get along well with their immediate neighbors, with just 5 percent reporting a negative rela-

tionship. Of those who reported issues with neighbors, the most common problems were pets, general lifestyle,

noise, and parking.

78 percent believe community association rules “protect and enhance” property values, while only one in 100 say

rules harm property values. About 20 percent see no difference.

88 percent of residents who have interacted with professional community managers say the experience had been

positive.

The research was sponsored by the Foundation for Community Association Research, A non-profit organization cre-

ated in 1975 by Community Association Institute (CAI).
