OUR SERVICES

Association Budgets

Our expertise is in preparing Homeowner Association Budgets that not only meet Department of Real Estate (DRE) Guidelines, but also insure a successful well funded community. Within the HOA Budget we address all common areas, to break down the operating expenses and calculate the expenses for the long term function of the project. 


Once your Budget is finalized you will receive a DRE Budget Worksheet (Form RE623) showing operating expenses and long term reserves. The DRE budget will also include (Form RE624A) which defines the common area. We will submit the required budget worksheet to the necessary parties upon completion.
