Upright Community Association Management, LLC, otherwise known as UCAM is a division of Acme Propery Managers, which has served its clients so well in the area of community association management. UCAM was birthed to further ascertain our commitment to all member homeowner associations that "We Can Never Get So Big To Have A Need To Outsource Their Mangement" just like so many of our competitors do. To mitigate this kind of "Lack of Closeness To The Communities And Homeowners", we have done a handful of Spin-offs which have not only been proven to work but have also reversed and/or perhaps re-introduced the positivity that homeowners naturally ask for in their communities.
Furthermore, we continue to commit to a range of comprehensive "monitored" services to the clients and to also embelish a 19 year unfractured reputation in the industry. Our suite of services includes all things from robust covenant compliance, day-to-to operation, and property value maintenance in each of the communities we manage. Our comprehensive approach to property management not only sets us apart within the industry, but allows us to accomplish our primary mission as well: to build better communities for the Associations we serve, which allows every resident the freedom to start living.
With a designated team of representative to each of our clients, negligence in getting stuff done is our greatest pet peeve. We've provided a hollistic approach to how an HOA should function in staying abreast of timely newsletters for homeowners, property closing documents, regular HOA meetings, grounds maintanance, city ordinances, collection activities and so on and so forth.
From inception and on-boarding of a new member community association, we assign a dedicated liaison and a backup who do not only serve as the points of contact for the community but also come out to the community as needed to ascertain that no stone is being left unturned. We are proud to reiterate as often as we do that we do not outsource the operation of any of our member community like most competitions. We personalize our service to each community we serve
Lack of thorough knowledge and understanding in how HOA guidelines intertwine with state laws manifest as a major and continuing attrition in our competitors' solution to their community association clients. Leveraging the cumulative industry experience of our team of experts helps stay on top of foreseeable and potential problems .
It is a known fact that most Homeowners Association and its members have experienced issues with their management companies over their finances. With the inclusivity of all of our HOA clients in the financial affairs, we present a total transparency in how the most important and closest to heart aspect of their HOA's decision is made. We help maintain this peace of mind by consistent and quality financial reporting at all times.
Property Closing & Foreclosure- To facilitate a consistent and timely delivery of closing-related information, UCAM has established a designated closing department. Our closing department is designed to make property transfers as simple as possible. Our property closing role handles closing letter issuance, final balances collection, completion of closing questionnaires, liaison with closing attorney and real estate agents
Though most HOAs experience foreclosure less frequently than property transfers that emanate from direct sales. Notwithstanding, we have a team of staff that understands the nitty-gritty of what it takes to collect final balances from homeowners whose properties are being foreclosed. The experience of this team includes researches vis-a-vis property deeds & records, FIFA & Lien to name a few. Above all, we provide all the correspondences back & forth with the federal foreclosure district courts.
With the current upsurge in property sales, it can be pretty daunting staying on top of all the required tasks in meeting closing requirements. That said, procedures are in place to catch all sales and ensure that balances are not being left or transferred to buyers especially within our large HOA communities.
Collection & Debt Recovery - Upright Community Association Management, LLC continues to work diligently in providing each community with what it takes to maintain serenity. We have a customized collection strategy that offers effectiveness while maintaining a low overhead in collection cost. We have achieved a proven success in collection exercises and helped reduced our clients' delinquent account balances. This collection initiative and effort include everything from predictive dialing to credit reporting at a fraction of the cost that full-service law firm charges. Our collection model uniquely fills the space between association led efforts and the more expansive legal collections effort
Community Management - Providing every aspect needed to operate functional communities, UCAM looks beyond just having your bills paid on time, and provides you with an array of services and trainings to accomplish any task big or small. Collaborative management services that set us apart and help us maintain uniqueness include on-time maintenance services, high response time to day-to-day community problem resolutions, coordination of city/county ordinances to name a few.

What are HOA Governing Documents? HOA governing documents are a set of documents that are used to guide the day-to-day operations and rules within a community. Quite often the governing documents will include articles of incorporation, bylaws, covenants, and rules and regulations but these documents can vary from one HOA to the next and are also partially determined by state laws.
Almost every state has statutes governing condominiums and homeowner associations. In addition most associations are subject to the state corporations? code. If you are on a board or establishing a new community, make sure you check your state laws to determine which documents are required. Association governing documents are almost always trumped by state law. But, when association documents conflict among themselves, the declaration or proprietary lease carries the greatest weight, followed by the bylaws and then the rules and regulations.
