Transparency is not just a courtesy—it’s a safeguard against financial mismanagement and a key factor in preserving property values. It also enables the board to demonstrate accountability to residents.

Many Del Mar associations depend on volunteer boards composed of residents with full-time jobs or family responsibilities. Without support, burnout is inevitable.
PMI Del Mar reduces this burden by managing day-to-day responsibilities such as:
- Architectural review coordination

The Risks of Self-Management in Del Mar
Some associations choose self-management as a cost-saving strategy. However, this approach often leads to hidden expenses, such as legal disputes, budget shortfalls, or poor maintenance outcomes.
Without the infrastructure and expertise of a management company, even well-meaning boards can struggle with:
- Tracking assessments and delinquencies
- Staying legally compliant
- Addressing homeowner concerns in a timely manner
- Maintaining proper reserve funds
By partnering with PMI Del Mar, associations avoid these pitfalls while improving service quality and community engagement.
