Governance Services

Governance Designed with Ease In Mind...
How your association is governed is key to your communities 'quality of life'. Therefore, we endeavor to achieve the support and adherence to the governance by the membership through increasing communication among the residents. By making meetings more productive as well as providing interesting and informative newsletters and online services we help foster the much needed communication your community needs.

Another way that we foster effective governance is by denoting clear delineations of responsibility so that your board members as well as your various committee and volunteer resources know exactly what is expected of them and what is best for your community. Our management philosophy views the Board of Trustees as the policy making body of the association. We view our role as the Managing Agent to be one of implementing the written policy of the Board.

Communications

Let’s Talk…
Living Miami Management works to promote and enhance communications between and among residents of the communities we manage concerning the affairs of their Association. We believe that the best way to communicate with associations and the home owners that reside in them is through the mediums they are most likely to use. Whether by telephone, fax, e-mail, newsletter, website or meetings, we believe that healthy communication improves quality of life.

Our high degree of communication and attention to detail gives our clients peace of mind so they can enjoy the lifestyle they've earned.

Financial Management

Effective financial management is the foundation of a strong community. The basics of association management include billing and collections, but there is nothing basic about how Living Miami Management supports the financial health of your community. On a daily basis, we monitor and manage your account balances and payments to maximize interest income. And, we continually develop systems to accommodate the changing needs of your community.

Our financial services encompass:

• Full general ledger financial reports, customized to each community's specific needs
• Daily, weekly or monthly reports: payments, deposits, account balances, invoice aging
• Homeowner billing statements to help facilitate collection of miscellaneous charges and detect unreported changes in property ownership.
