May 09 Association Message
We have truly enjoyed the opportunity to manage and become better acquainted with so many of you; the members of The Ranches Master Homeowners Association. We very much appreciate the positive attitudes and willingness to work through some of the challenging issues that present themselves. We have had the opportunity to figure out and resolve many issues relating to the charges placed on your individual accounts, and hope that most accounts will be resolved in the near future.
At this time we would like to share with you one of our dreams and desires for this community. We would love everyone who is a member of this Association to consider the other members not only fellow homeowners but also neighbors. We want you to feel that when you deal with the management office you are dealing with a neighbor and not an adversary. We want to build a sense of community and cooperation throughout all of The Ranches, and watch it fulfill all of its potential.
This transformation can begin by first recognizing that we all have the same goals and desires. We all want to be part of a community and not just a housing project. We want to come home to a community that has nice landscaping, well maintained yards, friendly neighbors, and an understanding management office. In order to reach this goal we will all need to do our part to fulfill our role in the community…
- We each can be considerate of our Neighbors and not keep unsightly and run down articles in plain view, but screen them from view behind a fence or in a garage.
- We each can make sure that we install landscaping as we agreed to do when we purchased our homes and accepted the CC&Rs.
- We each can maintain our landscaping in a manner that is attractive and appealing to our Neighbors.
- We each can make sure that we do not dump unsightly articles, garbage, or debris on vacant lots or vacant land.
- We each can be considerate as we communicate and interact – recognizing that we all are entitled to an opinion and each needs to be heard.
- We can each fulfill our obligations and promises, and when problems arise communicate our concerns in a manner that is both considerate and clear. Dealing with specific challenges rather than broad frustrations.
We, the management company, are committed to living these principles and treating each of you with kindness, respect, and consideration. In the coming months you will see some changes in the way that we administer and communicate with all of our Neighbors. We hope that these new changes will be productive and helpful to all of you, but if they are not we want to make adjustments as quickly as possible. Therefore, feel free to contact us with any suggestions and input; unfortunately, we cannot be everywhere and need as many eyes and ears as possible keeping us informed about what is happening in the community. If you see sprinklers that are broken, spraying the wrong direction, or otherwise malfunctioning we welcome your comments. Please let us know if you see other problems that need our attention and we will respond as quickly as possible.
In short we want to be more than your management company; we want to be your Neighbor! We want you all to be more than homeowners we want you all to be Neighbors!
