Hawaii First: results oriented management

Hawaii First is the third largest association management company in the state.

By Richard Emery
President of Hawaii First

Whether a property is a condominium or homeowner association, it is someone's home or real estate investment.

Naturally, every owner wants and expects the property to be maintained, and at a reasonable cost.

Typically, board members are volunteers from all walks of life and depend on a professional management company or managing agent to guide them through their decisions.

In many cases, the association's governing documents require the board of directors to hire a managing agent or company to provide professional advice, maintain records and project continuity for the future.

This is particularly important since board members often change at the association's annual meeting.

Often times, homeowners inherit their managing agent from the project's developer or a previous board.

However, not all management companies are not the same.

You might even be surprised at the differences between local management companies.

Hawaii First, for example, is a unique professional management company that consistently delivers the highest levels of service to enhance the quality of life and value of your home.

As one of the top management companies serving all islands, Hawaii First has earned a reputation for top-quality performance.

Experts from various fields are employed by Hawaii First to provide accurate and timely solutions to the boards of directors of condominiums and property associations throughout the islands.

Hawaii First's team of well-seasoned financial and technology experts lead the industry in their knowledge of state laws and regulations.

Service at Hawaii First is not a vague promise, but a commitment to results-oriented management.

Hawaii First also prides itself on providing reasonable reimbursable costs for the projects we manage. And these operational costs can result in a substantial saving for homeowners and condominium associations.

The preparation of an association's annual reserve study is another area where Hawaii First has distinguished itself.

A reserve study is a specific report that must meet national standards and comply with Hawaii's condominium law and administrative rules. It is used to outline long term costs, particularly in the areas of maintenance, repairs and safety.

All of Hawaii First's clients receive a free reserve study as a part of the annual budgeting process.

To ensure accuracy and professionalism, Hawaii First is the only Hawaii management company to employ a professional reserve specialist who is accredited by the by the Community Associations Institute.

Surprisingly, there are fewer than 100 reserve specialists nationwide and only two live and work in Hawaii.

Obviously, not all management companies are the same in terms of service or cost. In order to secure the best service for your association, it's important to objectively compare the differences between companies serving the local market.

Naturally, we encourage you to consider Hawaii First to discover our high-quality service, financial expertise, superior technology and free reserve study preparation — all at an incomparable value.
