[Lifestayle] Your Collegiate Property Administrator: Security and peace of mind in times of pandemic

[WilkerCSBD]

Looking back 30 years and remembering what buildings, their houses, portals were like ... is an image of simplicity and simplicity, with services as basic as the television antenna and in the best houses, the elevator. The neighbors knew each other and the president collected the money from their quota after receipt. The lifestyle of those years, the familiar treatment between the neighbors and the figure of the janitor -in some farms- made it easier for everything to be in order.

Since then, the progress of society has led to a new model of the city, with larger buildings, more housing estates and associations; all accompanied by a character of life where well-being and comfort matter.

In this new panorama, the management and maintenance of homes is truly complex, abandoning the simplicity of the houses of yesteryear. Now the buildings are equipped with new facilities such as pressure groups, fire detection, manholes, water softeners, security cameras, etc., plus a wide range of cleaning services, disinsection, new communication networks, plus the sum of all maintenance of new community spaces such as gardens, swimming pools, sports courts, social club, toilets, etc.

The multiplication of homes, owners of different nationalities, as well as the regulations that regulate the control of inspections and reviews of facilities require a specialization and professionalization of the real estate sector, and hence the Property Administrator has become the professional that includes multidisciplinary knowledge in areas as diverse as legal, administrative, economic and technical, among many others, that train it from knowledge and experience, to provide solutions to problems providing peace of mind to neighbors.

In addition to the knowledge, the collegiate Property Administrator has a series of skills and responsibilities to make all the gears that make up the community work properly, which translates to the well-being of the homes.

A clear example of this, we had it with the confinement of three months last year, where all the members of the family remained in their homes. During that time, the collegiate Property Administrators continued working, on the one hand, to ensure the proper functioning and reviews of the facilities and, on the other hand, watching over the administrative work of managing receipts, accounting, policy maturities, payroll, taxes, so that everything was in due time and form.

To this was added, a special attention with the neighbors, in the face of the fear of the unknown, the covid-19. Issues such as the use of elevators, passageways, recreational spaces, the use of masks, etc., are proving to be a longer process than expected, which involve many efforts, changes in customs and awareness on the part of all . The function of the Collegiate Property Administrator has been and is being very important in this order, because, even with contradictory and very changing regulations, we work every day to promote awareness and compliance with health recommendations in the prevention of sources of contagion in community areas.
In short, working with a collegiate Property Administrator is synonymous with guarantee. Behind this professional is the endorsement of trust offered by belonging to the College of Property Administrators of Alicante and the province (COAFA), which has more than 550 active members. Neighbors can be sure that their collegiate Administrator has a consolidated training directed by COAFA, and with a vocation for their work that results in well-being in the homes, in addition to promoting the values of mediation and empathy in neighborhood relations.

COAFA conducts courses to keep members informed with the latest news, because the training and preparation of members are a hallmark in the real estate sector and offers the security of having a professional who not only knows the problems of their community , but also provides the solutions. In addition, COAFA ensures strict compliance with the code of ethics and ensures, with a civil liability policy, negligence or omissions that the collegiate may incur in their professional performance.
