• External Perception


Associations are always under the scrutiny of the current homeowners and those considering purchasing in the association. Every community has a public reputation. Frequent leadership changes can create a perception of instability or mismanagement, which can hurt the association’s reputation and make it harder to attract new homeowners and retain current members.


Marriage and community association management are hard work.


While it is sometimes necessary to change management in response to particular circumstances, associations should recognize the risks involved and aim to maintain leadership stability whenever possible. Consistency in management helps ensure community continuity, fosters trust among members, supports long-term goals, and minimizes disruption. Careful consideration should be given before making any decision to change community association management, ensuring that it aligns with the best interests of the association and its members. Sometimes the marriage is well worth the effort of saving!
