The difference between a property manager and a community association manager.
Property managers deal primarily with commercial, industrial, and rental buildings and units, along with their tenants. They report to individual owners and do tasks to keep the buildings and units maintained and rented. In contrast, professional community association managers are trained to work with the board of directors to fulfill the three operational purposes of a community association: community, governance, and business. Although property managers can be highly skilled, these skills are different from the required skills of a community association manager.
When searching for management services for your community, be sure to look for credentials and certifications in the community industry.
