About Worth Ross Management Co., Inc.:
Managing a Home Owner Association requires additional skills on top of those necessary to be a successful property manager – effective communication, proactive leadership and financial acumen to name a few. The HOA manager may also act as an agent for the association and provide administrative services for the association members (or owners) and their Board of Directors. Additionally, the level of detailed accounting also increases due to the filing of tax returns, reserve accounts, special assessments and the fact units may be bought and sold daily.
