Pearls of Wisdom - Be A Good Homeowner

• Remember that you are a member of a community association - not just an individual, isolated owner.

• Review all of your condo documents - before you buy, again when you move in, and periodically thereafter.

• Pay your condo dues and assessments on time.

• Read the Association newsletter, any other Association communications, and check the web page frequently to keep informed.

• Know the Association's House Rules and live by them.

• Attend the Association's Annual Meeting, serve on a committee, and/or serve on the Board.

• Become involved - consider how your knowledge, skills & experience can help your community - volunteer to serve - organize a community event (food drive, holiday gift drive, a community social event, etc.)
