FAQs
Q: When should a developer engage an HOA management company during project planning?
A: Ideally during the entitlement or platting phase. Early involvement ensures HOA budget accuracy, proper amenity planning, and smooth CC&R drafting before sales begin.
Q: How does Utah Management handle lender questionnaires for new builds?
A: We maintain an automated document portal providing fast Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac lender disclosures to ensure buyer financing moves quickly without delays.
Q: Will Utah Management help secure all required insurances for the new development?
A: Yes, we would prefer to as we clearly understand the requirements both from CCR’s and at the state level for HOA insurance requirements. We will have multiple Brokers shop it.
