A Passion for the Communities We Serve

Integrated Mountain is a real estate and HOA property management leader in Basalt, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs, and Rifle. The full-service company handles every aspect of clients' properties, from grounds maintenance to tenant management and marketing. With over 15 years of service and more than 150 clients managed by 70 plus professionals, Integrated Mountain Group's success speaks for itself. But for Integrated Mountain, success also means giving back to the community.

As a proud member of several Colorado mountain communities, Integrated Mountain supports local charities and organizations. Giving back to the community is embedded in the company's core values. Integrated Mountain is involved in over a dozen Colorado-based charities, ranging from non-profit to youth sports organizations.

Glenwood Springs Grizzlies Youth Hockey Association Sponsorship

Integrated Mountain Group has been involved with the Glenwood Springs Grizzlies Youth Hockey team for some time. However, the company increased its donation this season to $5,000, becoming the Grizzlies' Tier 1 title sponsor. With the sponsorship, the team got a new set of jerseys. Some of the funds went toward supporting the Zamboni which, considering how many boys and girls teams the organization fields, is very much needed.

Unlike the Glenwood Springs High School hockey team, which is funded by the school system, the Grizzlies rely on sponsorships as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The organization has been around since the early 2000s, changing its name from the Roaring Forks Valley Skating Association in 2008.

In addition to teaching kids how to play the sport, the GSYHA's mission is to develop athleticism, character, sportsmanship, and self-esteem in their players. As a non-profit, the team offers scholarships to students who can't afford to purchase all the necessary equipment.

Literacy Outreach Sponsorship

Integrated Mountain has also made a significant contribution to Literacy Outreach, the only nationally-accredited institution of its kind in Colorado. Based in Glenwood Springs, the organization, as they put it, "provide[s] life-changing opportunities for adults who struggle with basic literacy skills."

Adult illiteracy is a real issue that impacts 21 percent of Americans, according to ThinkImpact . No one knows that more than Literacy Outreach, which has trained over 1,000 tutors since 1986. In that time, the organization has taught over 2,500 students.

Increased Sponsorship for Glenwood Springs Education Fund

The annual Roaring Forks, Corks & Kegs event benefits the Glenwood Springs Education Fund, and it's partially sponsored this year by Integrated Mountain. The event highlights 12 of the best bars and restaurants in Glenwood Springs, which support the event by donating food, beer, and wine samples.

Proceeds from the event go to the Glenwood Springs Education Fund, which is partnered with the non-profit organization Two Rivers Community Foundation . Money from the fund is used to support Glenwood Springs public schools by funding projects that enhance learning in the classroom.

Kiwanis All-Valley Talent Show Sponsorship

Integrated Mountain was one of two title sponsors for the Kiwanis All-Valley Talent Show Sponsorship, an annual event highlighting local talent. The sponsors partially funded the event's $1,800 first-place prize for each category.

The event, put together by the local Kiwanis Club of Glenwood Springs , was open to 8th-grade students and above from Aspen to Parachute. In addition to the 12 student performances, there was also a special performance by the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet Folklórico .

How Much Do HOA Management Companies Charge

Thu, 11 May 2023 16:33:18 GMT

HOA Management Fees

Homeowners associations (HOA) have various responsibilities, such as enforcing community guidelines, for which the association charges a fee. HOAs are crucial to the well-being of a community, as they provide services like landscaping and public event spaces. However, their responsibilities are limited. For example, HOAs don't typically handle property management because their members are volunteers.

While HOA companies may sometimes take on this responsibility, it's typically outsourced. HOA property management companies like Integrated Mountain Group can take on responsibilities such as collecting rent and fees, accounting, maintenance, and more. While costs will vary by property, there are some things you should consider.

Drawbacks of HOAs Managing Their Property

HOAs can choose to take on property management, which can be a viable route. Doing everything in-house can save HOAs, and therefore residents, money. However, HOAs that manage larger properties can quickly be overwhelmed. The day-to-day management of a property is no easy feat, demanding constant attention from volunteers, who may have limited time to give.

Legal and financial liabilities are other issues to consider, especially in Colorado where there are many HOA-specific laws . An HOA could land in hot water if taxes are prepared incorrectly, and it can be vulnerable to lawsuits if legal contracts between residents and the property aren't up to snuff.

Difference Between HOA and Property Management

The two are used interchangeably but, while they are similar in many ways, there are key differences you should be aware of before considering either of these services. Both types of companies manage the client's property. However, the main difference is standard property management typically manages commercial properties, such as office buildings and retail parks. HOA property management companies, on the other hand, deal with residential properties like housing communities, condos, and apartment buildings.

Services Provided by HOA Management Company

Depending on your needs, you can negotiate the services provided by the HOA management company. For smaller properties, selecting only the most necessary services, like bookkeeping, can keep costs down. While not all HOA management outfits offer the same services, these are the services you can generally expect, such as:

Landscaping
Resident/tenant communication
Late fee collection
Accounting
Enforcing rules
Managing relationships with vendors

How HOA Property Management Fees are Structured

There's no industry-standard fee that HOA property management companies charge because the cost depends on several factors, with the number of units within the property typically being the most important factor. An HOA property management company may charge a percentage of the rent of each unit, though it's more common in cases where there are fewer units.

In most cases, an HOA property management company will charge anywhere from $20 to $50 per unit per month. The per-unit price will, of course, depend on the market the property is in, with more expensive properties in lucrative housing markets demanding higher fees. While more units will equal a higher overall fee, a larger number of units may warrant a discount from the company, as the resources required to manage the property can be easily scaled without incurring additional costs.

Aside from monthly fees, HOA property management companies may likely have other charges, such as:

Onboarding fee — When you sign on with an HOA property management company, you might be charged an onboarding or initiation fee to cover the costs of migrating all essential business information, such as documents and accounting books, to the company. The fee will depend on the number of units or residents within your community, which can balloon the initial cost of hiring an HOA property management company.
Additional fees for work not stipulated in the contract — The monthly fees charged by the HOA management company will cover whatever is stated in the contract. Anything not defined in the contract as covered by the monthly fee will cost extra.
Exit Fee — If the HOA decides to terminate the partnership for whatever reason, there is typically a fee associated with covering the costs of transferring everything back from the company. In cases where the contract was terminated early, the company could continue to make changes until the contract ends.

The Integrated Mountain Experience

HOA and community association property management are just one of the many services Integrated Mountain offers customers in the Roaring Fork Valley, which the company has called home for over 15 years.

What Does an HOA Management Company Do?

Tue, 02 May 2023 20:52:07 GMT

HOA Management Services

If you own a condo, apartment, or a building that shares community ownership, you will likely be familiar with the responsibilities of an HOA . And if you’re familiar with the responsibilities of an HOA board, you will no doubt understand how time-consuming these responsibilities can become.

HOA board members work on a volunteer basis, which makes it difficult to create and enforce policies. HOA management companies help these board members focus on their most important responsibility: creating policies. Your HOA board members should decide how to deal with fees, maintenance requests, ARC requests, and HOA finances and audits. However, a reputable HOA management company will be able to facilitate and enforce these policies.

HOA management companies will be able to carry out maintenance requests in the most efficient way possible. They will facilitate board member and homeowner communication and they can simplify the processes by which governing policies are enforced, but they cannot create the policies themselves. That responsibility falls squarely on the HOA board members’ shoulders.

Continue reading to learn more about the differences between an HOA board and an HOA management company, such as Integrated Mountain Group .

What Is the Difference Between an HOA Board and an HOA Management Company?

Typically, HOA board members work closely with their HOA management company for associations. However, respective department roles vary. To establish a healthy working relationship between the two parties, roles should be clearly divided. This prevents either department from either double-dipping into the other’s responsibilities or miscommunications occurring that result in damaging oversights.

To prevent miscommunications from occurring, each party should identify the duties they must carry out themselves from the responsibilities that could go either way. For example, despite the help of an HOA management company, there are certain responsibilities an HOA board must fulfill and vice versa.

What Are HOA Board Responsibilities?

Property owners typically take care of their own premises. Shared properties, on the other hand, should be the responsibility of the HOA board. You can consider community pools, parks, lobbies, signs, and the building’s shared walls and pipes as part of the HOA board’s responsibilities.

These community aspects also apply to single-family homes and townhomes. In condos, the HOA board’s duties will extend to the shared properties, such as roofs, hallways, and parking lots. HOA board responsibilities might seem simple upon first glance, but there is a lot of administrative work involved in the maintenance of these properties. The HOA board also has to manage the annual budget, hire and fire vendors, carry out maintenance projects, and enforce agreements.

When an HOA begins, they should create legal documents that clearly state the responsibilities they are required to fulfill for the tenants of the property. HOA boards can also perform fiduciary duties. HOA board members are selected on a volunteer basis by a voting process and they do not receive a salary for their position.

What Are the Responsibilities of an HOA Management Company?

As these responsibilities suggest, there are many aspects to running a successful HOA. Though some smaller associations can operate with little issue, it is common practice for HOA boards to bring on an HOA manager or management company to help with the day-to-day operations. Though the HOA board should retain all decision-making capabilities, the HOA management company can help facilitate those decisions and put standard operating procedures in place that ease the burden from the HOA board.

HOA management companies are primarily there to assist with administrative procedures, executive board decisions, and resident communications. The board handles the creation of policies, fine schedules, etc., while the HOA management company facilitates those practices.

Because HOA management companies don’t actively create the policies that govern an HOA, you can consider them an advisory service. For example, if you hire an HOA management company for financial reasons, the HOA management company will not actually perform bookkeeping or compliance measures. They will outsource these responsibilities to a reputable accounting agent who brings cost benefits.

HOA management companies can also help facilitate maintenance, though they won’t complete the maintenance themselves. Instead, they identify the most trusted vendors and ensure the completion of your maintenance requests in a timely, efficient manner.

Who Is Responsible? The HOA Board or HOA Management Company?

Below, we provide a comprehensive breakdown of the entity responsible for each task associated with HOAs.

Fines and Late Fees

The HOA management company shouldn’t have decision-making authority over your HOA’s policies and financial decisions. Your HOA management company should be able to process fines and enforce the late fee policy. They will be able to send late notices to homeowners but they should not have the right to waive any fees.

Rules and Policies

HOAs depend on rules and regulations that govern their ability to run the community efficiently. Both homeowners and board members must adhere to the regulations created by the HOA. They can also submit reporting violations to the board. However, the company cannot use their discretion to forego the rules for homeowners for certain violations.

Maintenance Requests

Homeowners’ associations receive frequent maintenance requests from homeowners. HOA management companies will take care of the maintenance requests from homeowners and send requests. Once the board approves or rejects a request, the management company will be able to send it to the appropriate channels for completion.

ARC Requests

When homeowners want to make architectural changes to homes, they have to submit an ARC request. ARC requests exist so the HOA board can approve or deny requests and make sure they align with the HOA’s governing documents. The HOA management company can ensure the homeowners adhere to the documents and corresponding documents.

HOA Finances and Audits

Some HOAs let their HOA managers sign checks on the board’s behalf. As a precaution, the board should impose an amount limit for managers or management companies. Any check beyond that amount should go to a board member The board must also hire a third-party or independent CPA to perform financial audits. Some state laws, but not all, require financial reviews. Even if your state doesn’t have any laws in place, you should audit your finances and the board can arrange the audit instead of the management company.

HOA FAQs

Is a Property Management Company or an HOA Management Company Part of the HOA Board?

While the property management company might have some power to enforce the board’s policies, they do not have the authority to make decisions. Policy-making responsibilities fall squarely on the board’s shoulders.

Clearly Define the Differences Between an HOA Management Company and the HOA Itself

As an HOA, one of the most important things you can do before you hire an HOA management company is clearly define their responsibility. HOA management companies cannot create policies. They can only facilitate existing governing documents and regulations. They will not be able to carry out your compliance and bookkeeping obligations but they will have a network of reputable vendors they can outsource these services to.

HOA boards might be tempted to delegate decision-making responsibilities to an HOA management company. It’s up to the board to decide what governing policies they institute. The benefit of an HOA management company is they find the best way to enforce and carry out these responsibilities.

At Integrated Mountain Group, we believe your HOA board should be able to focus on the underlying governing policies. You should be able to make decisions and you shouldn’t be forced to enforce those decisions. Whether you’re looking for the best way to carry out maintenance requests, compliance issues, or need a company to handle the administrative tasks associated with an HOA, we’re here to help.

What Does a Property Management Company Do?

Tue, 30 Aug 2022 06:29:22 GMT

Choosing whether or not you want to hire a property management company is a difficult decision. Some investors don’t dream of investing in a property without having a property management company lined up. Others might want to manage the property themselves. Using a property management company comes down to preferences and whether you want responsibilities taken off your shoulders.

There are many benefits to property management that can make up for the upfront costs of hiring a company to fulfill the associated responsibilities. Property management companies take care of everything for you, from marketing to fill your apartment to handling unpaid invoices, ensuring tax compliance, and handling move-in and move-out.

At Integrated Mountain Group , we believe you should be able to enjoy the passive income you were promised when you invested in real estate.

Continue reading to learn more about the ways Colorado property management companies can ease your real estate investment endeavors.

What Is Property Management?

Property management describes the practice of a third party maintaining a residence’s appearance and functional ability. Property owners typically hire property managers to ensure the effective management of daily operations and property maintenance. These companies can handle various property types, ranging from single family homes to full-sized vacation rentals. They may also manage condos, apartments, mobile home communities, and office or retail spaces.

Property managers also have the responsibility to fill any property vacancies. As the name suggests, property management can handle every aspect of a rental home, including marketing, lease signing, and collecting rent. Few strategies are more beneficial for rental portfolios than opting for a rental property management .

Choosing to use a property management comes down to a few factors for most. Some real estate investors prefer to have a property management company locked in before even signing the papers. Other investors are tentative to choose a property management company because they enjoy the DIY approach. Regardless, the benefits of a reputable property management company are undeniable. The time and effort a property manager can save you will free you to take on more investment opportunities and increase the chances of growing your bottom line.

Do I Need a Property Management Firm?

Property management companies offer several advantages but you have to balance these benefits with the overall cost. Plan on hiring a property manager if any of the following scenarios sound like yours:

If you plan to rent multiple properties, managing these rentals can become too much for one person.
The more rental properties you have in your portfolio, the more difficult it will become to manage them.
If you are removed from your properties, you will likely need a property management company to ensure the continuing functioning of your property.
Owners who view their property as an investment will likely want to enlist the help of a property management company.
If you view the property as a passive income, you will need a property management company to ensure your property creates income that doesn’t require work.
Hiring employees, such as a resident manager, also comes with several responsibilities you won’t want to shoulder.
These responsibilities include factors such as payroll and legal implications. Property management companies are not your employees so they will save you from the administrative responsibilities and legal liabilities that come from having employees.
If you can afford the associated cost of a rental property management company, why wouldn’t you enlist the help of an agency? Property managers will take a portion of the rent you charge anyway. The same fee paid toward a property management company can help you establish more properties in your name.
If you have multiple other business ventures, you’re retired, or you simply don’t want to take on the added stress, you should consider unloading responsibilities to a property management company. Even if you don’t mind managing your own property, you might not be able to fulfill all the required responsibilities.

If you have a property available in the affordable housing sector, you will be liable to receive grants, tax credits, and loans with low interest rates. With these benefits come more complex rules to observe and a property management company can teach you the various ins and outs to help you along the road.

What Does a Property Manager Do?

Yes, property management companies cost money and they can detract from your bottom line…if you choose the wrong property management company. Reputable property management companies will be able to add value to your investment immediately.

Reputable property management companies will be able to assist in the following areas:

Rent collection from tenants.
Maintenance requests.
Defaulting tenants months behind in rent.
Property marketing.
Vacancy listing.
Reports and detailed records of the various happenings at the property.
Simplify your tax obligations.
Draft and execute new leases.
Real estate studies and ideal rent rates.

Rent Collection

Collecting rent might seem simple but it can be time consuming. Having someone handle all of the various associated tasks can free a substantial portion of your time. There is always the possibility that tenants cause legal issues. If you don’t have a property management company, you have to handle all of these issues yourself.

Property Maintenance

Ongoing maintenance on your property takes time. That’s why this is one of the largest driving forces behind real estate investors using a property management company. Property management companies don’t only help with maintenance requests. They also ensure prompt customer service. You can’t control when things go wrong at your property. Unless you want to be on call for 24/7, you will need to enlist the help of a professional who can respond to tenants’ needs at all hours.

Property management companies offer assistance in the following areas:

Lawn care
Appliance maintenance
Drywall patching
Plumbing issues
Preventative maintenance
Pressure washing

Sourcing Tenants

You might underestimate how much time it can take to find a tenant for your property. The best property management companies reduce the time expenditure from marketing for tenants, showing units, and screening prospective renters. These companies have to bring a lot of expertise to the table. They also supervise move-in and move-out activities.

Bookkeeping

Who enjoys tracking finances and remaining compliant with taxes? Nobody. That’s why you outsource those duties. While balancing your books might not be the most enjoyable occupation, it’s one of the most important. Minimizing taxes, maintaining relationships with various vendors, and keeping a healthy cash flow will keep you from financial headaches. You don’t need a property management company for this task alone. Instead, you can contact a bookkeeper. But if you decide to outsource your accounting, you should probably consider consolidating your outsourced duties under one roof.

Bottom Line

Property management companies take the administrative and maintenance burden of real estate investment off your shoulders. Using the most advanced technology , they simplify every aspect of property management, from marketing to move-out.

Yes, these companies require a fee, but the time and effort you save by enlisting their help frees you to invest elsewhere and expand your portfolio. Over time, these companies also save you money because they handle the administrative, compliance, and maintenance labor. They can also prevent you from landing in potential legal hassles.

If you’re interested in saving yourself the time and stress that comes from investing in real estate, contact Integrated Mountain Group today. We specialize in residential property maintenance services, HOA management, real estate services, and property management services that let you rake in passive income and enjoy your investment.
