Picture this. Bad weather is blowing in, and you need to notify homeowners of road closures or power outages ASAP. Or you have an architectural review policy change that you need to send to hundreds of homeowners. Time-consuming tools like mass email, calls, or mailed notices are just ineffective. Your homeowners association (HOA) needs powerful communication tools to keep your residents informed and engaged in the community, and your HOA running smoothly.
HOA software like ManageHOA by BuildingLink is your solution to communication inefficiencies.
Here are six ways HOA Software can help.
1. One-Click Instant Community-Wide Announcements
Have an important update that needs to be broadcast to homeowners in real-time? BuildingLink's easy-to-use Announcements tool on the resident portal and mobile app makes sending updates and announcements a breeze. Your homeowners will appreciate the timely and transparent communication.
2. Preemptive SMS and Voice Broadcasts Prepare Your Community
Severe weather warnings, for example, require immediate attention from homeowners. Prepare your community with BuildingLink's Voice Broadcasting and SMS. HOAs can send rapid text or voice messages to all homeowners simultaneously, increasing safety and preparedness.
3. Get Critical HOA Documents in Order Instantly
Managing paper documents in folders or a filing cabinet causes disorganization and confusion with property managers and homeowners alike. With BuildingLink, you can keep vital documents such as bylaws and CC&Rs, meeting minutes, and community rules in one location, saving you countless hours . Homeowners can access these documents through an easy-to-use app at any time, eliminating confusion and enhancing transparency.
4. Seamless Amenity Reservations
Booking facilities like party rooms, clubhouses, or others can become chaotic in the absence of an online tool. Reserving amenities via BuildingLink's amenity reservation system allows residents to see what's available, book, and pay right from the app.
5. Violation Issue Reporting and Tracking (Coming Soon!)
Managing and tracking rule violations in a spreadsheet or buried within a stream of emails creates inefficiencies for your board and property managers. With BuildingLink’s ManageHOA, you can quickly submit violations, send standardized notices, automate follow-ups, and maintain a complete record of all actions. This streamlined process saves time, ensures consistency, and keeps your community compliant.
6. Architectural Review Made Easy
Imagine multiple homeowners submit architecture review applications simultaneously via email. Handling these requests manually creates miscommunication and slows the approval process. With BuildingLink, homeowners can easily review guidelines, submit applications with supporting documents, and receive automated updates, while Community Managers and Architectural or Design Review Committee members collaborate on the approval seamlessly. With a streamlined system, you can say goodbye to miscommunication and hello to transparency, timely approvals, and an organized workflow.
