HOA TURNOVER & DEVELOPER TRANSITION: WHAT EVERY BOARD MUST KNOW

By: Lilith Blasko

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Your community is being handed over. Are you ready to take control?

Most new homeowner boards walk into turnover blind. The developer steps back, the owners step in, and suddenly the board is responsible for budgets, infrastructure, warranties, defects, contracts, insurance, and legal obligations they never knew existed.

This book fixes that.

HOA Turnover & Developer Transition: What Every Board Must Know is the first comprehensive, plain-language guide built specifically for new communities navigating the chaotic shift from developer control to homeowner governance. It tells boards exactly what to request, what to inspect, what to question, what to demand, and what to fix.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Obtain every required financial, legal, and construction document
• Conduct engineering inspections and uncover hidden defects
• Evaluate developer budgets and correct misleading subsidies
• Audit accounts, reconcile bank balances, and verify reserves
• Navigate warranties, insurance gaps, and unapproved expenses
• Build a real budget and operational system that works
• Hold the developer accountable with punch lists, notices, and legal tools
• Stabilize the community financially and operationally within 12 months

With templates, checklists, workflows, letters, timelines, and plain-English explanations, this book gives new boards the structure they need to protect homeowners, preserve assets, and start independent governance with confidence.

Whether your community is a condo, townhome, or single-family development, this book is your transition playbook.

Turnover doesn’t have to be overwhelming. You just need someone to show you what the developer never will.
