Reduce conflict

Condo associations are communities. Like any community, they're prone to disagreement. But nothing generates conflict like money—especially unexpected money.

Special assessments tear communities apart. Owners who can't afford them resent those who can. Owners who saw it coming resent those who voted against adequate dues. Board members become targets of anger for problems they inherited.

Well-funded reserves defuse this dynamic:

• No surprises. When repairs are funded in advance, they're just maintenance—not crises that require emergency votes and painful contributions.

• Fair distribution. Regular contributions spread costs over time and across all owners who benefit from the assets. No one gets stuck with a disproportionate bill.

• Transparent planning. When everyone can see the reserve study, the funding levels, and the timeline for major expenses, there's nothing to argue about. The facts are the facts.

Underfunded reserves guarantee future conflict. Every deferred repair is a fight waiting to happen. Every special assessment is a community fracture.

The Reserves Pro Method doesn't just protect your finances—it protects your relationships with your neighbors. Boards that follow it spend their meetings on strategy, not damage control.
