Developing Communities

Providing support from the ground up..

Developing Community Management Services

From the beginning of a new project, Eclipse works directly with our development partners to ensure that the community association starts off both strong and stable. Our goal is to see communities move smoothly from the first closing through transition to homeowner control, making that process seamless and stress-free for everyone involved.

Our goal in supporting developing communities is to ensure that they are set up for long-term success. When supporting a developing community, our management fee is graduated to grow with the number of closed homes over time. This limits the need for the developer to subsidize management in the early stages of the buildout. As more homes are closed, more owners join the association, and the responsibilities of management grow naturally. This growth also provides the community association with the resources necessary to scale management services.

Here are some of the key characteristics of our association management service:

Partnering with development partners from start to finish

Eclipse partners with developers and homebuilders across the region to ensure that their community associations get off to a great start and are set up for long term success.

Governing Documents

We can review and advise on the bylaws and declaration of covenants drafted for the community, ensuring that any areas of concern are discussed in the earliest phases of development.

Build-out Budgets

We can draft and advise on build-out budgets, ensuring the financial health and stability of the association throughout the development period.

Establishing Vendors

We can facilitate a Request for Proposal (RFP) process to solicit bids on services and contracts from qualified vendors that are known to provide quality service to community associations.

Obtaining Insurance

We can obtain quotes and bind insurance coverage to make sure that the community association meets the minimum insurance requirements of Ohio law.

Establishing Utilities

We can assist in establishing accounts with local utility providers, ensuring that community amenities have electric, water, gas, telephone, and internet services as needed.

Homeowner Meetings

We can coordinate association meetings including annual meeting and the post-development transition meeting. This includes providing notice, handling proxies, conducting elections, and taking minutes.

Closing Documents

We work directly with the title company to provide all documentation required for closing including the governing documents, budget, financials, association meeting minutes, and lender questionnaires.

Welcome Packets

We provide all new owners with a welcome letter that includes pertinent information about their amenities and the community association.
