Top 10 Reasons to have an HOA Website

1. It’s free to our Home Owners Association: The only cost to the HOA is hosting and domain registration, $175 per year.

2. Increases Our Property Value: Studies show that HOA’s who have active websites which are dynamic and interactive have a tremendous added value to our properties. Interactive is the key, this is a site that each of us can use to communicate our ideas and concerns.

3. Convenience & Simplicity - Availability of HOA Documents: All HOA documents are posted on the site including the CC&R’s. No more searching in your files for the documents.

Receive active and current information regarding Our Home Owners Association’s, local Federal Way news and events, Federal Way School District information as well as global news from USATODAY.com available whenever you choose to login.

5. Participate: We are all busy and it’s hard to get involve. Have an idea, get it heard write an article and have it published on the website.
