Become a Household Name as the
Exclusive HOA Website Sponsor
Exclusive HOA Website Sponsor - Realtors
That's right, exclusivity. Since you are paying the bill - You Own The
Neighborhood - or at least the neighborhood website. Obviously, a neighborhood
will only have one official website, so when you become the exclusive
sponsor, you will have a tremendous advantage over competing real estate
agents. Although, other agents can market to "your" neighborhood
with postcards and other mailings, you will stand out because you have
something out of their reach. You are the one and only agent on the HOA
website.
Your information (picture, contact info, link to your website, etc.)
will be highly visible on the HOA website. Current and prospective residents
WILL know who you are!
 Not
Just Marketing to Current HOA Members
Move beyond thinking of your HOA website as an internal communications
device for the current homeowners. The HOA website will also be a terrific
way to market your community to prospective buyers whom are considering
moving to your area and may seriously consider your community.
By creating a website that is appealing and informative for both current
and prospective residents, you will be able to attract buyers and sellers.
HOAs - A Fast Growing Market
According to the Community Associations Institute:
- An estimated 50 million Americans live in association-governed communities.
Some 1.25 million people serve on community association boards, with
another 300,000-plus serving as committee members.
- About 6,000 to 8,000 new community associations are formed every year.
This includes condominiums, cooperatives and planned communities. It
is estimated that more than four in five housing starts during the past
5-8 years have been built as part of an association-governed community.
- The estimated real estate value of the homes in all community associations
is about $2 trillion, approximately 15 percent of the value of all U.S.
residential real estate.
HOA Website Key Benefits
Cost Savings
HOA websites will help reduce the associations printing, mailing, postage,
and administrative costs plus provide residents 24 x 7 access to your
neighborhood information. Communicate effectively with your fellow residents
by posting your newsletters, meeting minutes, official documents, and
forms on your neighborhood website.
Time Savings
The board and committees are all made up of resident volunteers
and everyone has a job and family. Calendar, official documents, request
forms, contact information, and on and on - all these items can be
made available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to owners, real estate
agents, lenders, title companies, prospective buyers or anyone else
that has a need to know. Just think of the time and cost savings to
the association by eliminating the need to duplicate piles of documents!
Instead, when documents are requested, you simply direct them to the
association website and let them copy or print out whatever they want,
when they want it!
Automate day-to-day operations including online membership registration
and renewal, meeting sign-up, and on-line newsletter distribution.
No more long tours around the neighbor to distribute notices and
newsletters on mailboxes.
Board and committee members will receive fewer calls at home from
residents.
Fast, Effective Communication
In homeowner associations, consistent and effective
communication is extremely important to build consensus, distribute
information, and to keep the gossip mill at bay. Timely manual distribution
of meeting minutes, HOA documents, and newsletters are a driving cost
factor. While printed newsletters have been the norm (and local printers
thank you), the web offers a wonderful alternative to publish newsletters
on-line and eliminate printing, mailing, labeling, and postage costs.
Whether an owner is resident or out of state, communications are fast.
And with an e-mail network, all directors, property managers, the realtor,
and committee members can receive communications simultaneously.
