Key Quotes:
💡“But I always, at annual meetings or whenever I get in front of the unit owners, I like to tell them that they're as much as a stakeholder in this process too. For the community to be successful, you need engaged unit owners.” Doug Newman
💡“First of all, it goes back to maintenance standards, which most of our clients have. But it's one thing to have them, but are they sitting on the shelf collecting dust or are the unit owners really listening and paying attention? So again, communicating with the unit owners and all it takes is one unit owner who's not paying attention and you have a big loss and a big claim, and it. It's not good.” Doug Newman
