PCM Arms New Homebuyers with Valuable Information Before Move-In

Purchasing a new home in a community association, especially if it is a first home, is complicated: Lots of paperwork, tough decisions to make, so many questions.

David Galy, a regional manager with Professional Community Management, Inc. (PCM), an Associa company, is working with an Irvine, California builder who gets it right with a welcome event that he participates in called “Countdown to Closing.” It’s for buyers who plan to close escrow in 30-60 days. The next “Countdown to Closing” event is on October 20 for the community of Cypress Village.

“The buyers in Cypress Village are smart, educated people. They want to be better prepared with information,” says PCM President and COO Karen Inman. “This event is simple and yet so powerful. It sets the owners and the community association up for success and is the first opportunity I have to meet these new buyers and provide them with the information about their community association to make it a very positive experience.”

The idea is to bring the buyers together as they eagerly anticipate moving in to their new home and arm them with details about how to submit plans for their landscaping or other exterior improvements. This is an opportunity to meet the staff specifically assigned to their neighborhood and find out things like who to contact for repairs or get information about their home warranty.

Galy adds, “By working ahead of the timeline, before the buyers move in, we are seeing compliance with the community guidelines and buyers are able to gain approval for any improvements or remodeling plans so that they can begin work quickly once they’ve closed escrow.”
