A Condominium Turnaround in Pacific Northwest

In three years, a mid-size condominium community went from mounting delinquencies and an aging building envelope to healthy finances, completed capital projects, and a board that can see every dollar and every task — in real time.

THE CHALLENGE

A community at a crossroads

When the association came to propVIVO in June 2023, the board faced the situation many self-governed communities know well:

  • •$71,731 in delinquencies spread across 28 owner accounts, with no clear path to recovery.
  • •A major recladding project looming - millions of dollars of building-envelope work with no financing in place.
  • •Hourly project-management billing at $175/hour, with a minimum charge for every 15 minutes.
  • •Limited visibility - owners and board members relied on phone calls, inboxes and monthly packets to know what was happening.
THE APPROACH

One platform. Nothing hidden.

  • •propVIVO combined full-service community management with its technology platform, where every homeowner request and board task is logged, categorized, timestamped and visible - to owners and board members alike.
  • •That transparency changed the dynamic. Requests can't sit forgotten in an inbox. Board decisions carry a complete activity trail. And the association's own data - the same data behind this page - is available to the board at any hour.
  • •From that foundation, the work followed: disciplined collections, owner consensus-building, competitive vendor management and a capital program larger than anything the community had attempted before.
One platform. Nothing hidden.
THE ENGAGEMENT

Three Years, As An Activity Trail

On the propVIVO portal, every task carries a visible history. Here is the engagement itself, told the same way.

JUNE 2023

Onboarded to the propVIVO platform

Every open issue, owner account and vendor relationship moved into one system of record. From day one, owners could raise requests, the board could monitor tasks, and the association's full activity history was visible — not buried.

2023 – 2024-94% in 18 months

Collections discipline takes hold

Consistent tracking and follow-through recovered $80,000 in collectable delinquencies. By year-end 2024, delinquent balances had fallen to a fraction of the starting figure.

2024

$2.85M financing secured, special assessment ratified

propVIVO supported the association end-to-end through lender requirements, and coordinated with homeowners and the board to ensure legal, financial, and logistical alignment.

THROUGH JUNE 20269 major projects completed

$3.9M capital program delivered

A $2.8M partial recladding — the community's largest-ever project — plus asphalt, gate, fencing, security, lighting, siding and more.

JULY 2025

Enhanced portal launched

A new generation of the platform rolled out to the community — the same platform that now powers electronic consent, live budgets, and task history.

JUNE 2026Status: thriving

A stronger association, by every measure

Delinquency at $8,880 across 13 accounts. Zero owners past 90 days. Zero cases in collections. Operating fund up 36%.

THE SAVINGS

Money That Stayed In The Community

Good management shouldn't just organize spending - it should reduce it. Three places this association kept its money working for the buildings, not the overhead.

$175/hr → $2,328

Project management, without hourly billing

Before propVIVO, the association paid an outside firm $175 per hour — a minimum charge every 15 minutes — to manage projects. propVIVO charged no professional fees on reserve projects through 2024, and a single board-approved fee of $2,328 in 2025.

$80,000

Delinquencies recovered

Consistent, respectful collections follow-through brought $80,000 in collectable delinquencies back to the association. Today: zero owners past 90 days delinquent and zero cases in outside collections.

+$60,171

Operating fund growth

The operating fund grew from $166,065 to $226,236 — up 36% — during the community's largest-ever capital program. Financial strength and major construction, at the same time.
