High Association Assessments? Here’s Why.

July 8, 2022

At Seabreeze Management Company, we often receive questions regarding high or increasing assessment costs. Hopefully, we can help you understand community association assessments. The governing documents of the homeowner association determine their common expenses. During the annual budget evaluation, the board members choose the needed contributions. Community association assessments help pay for the services the association provides its members, including annual operating and planned expenses that extend over a certain amount of time. The yearly operating expenses usually include recurring costs, like management fees, landscaping, pool, janitorial, legal services, etc.... READ THE POST

Mother’s Day is an incredible opportunity to honor the mothers in our lives. One of the ways people show their gratitude is to send flowers.

Keeping the Vision

By Isaiah Henry, President and CEO
July 8, 2019

When Seabreeze was started over 30 years ago, it was founded with the idea that business was personal. Clients weren’t just clients—they were family. Property management wasn’t just a service—it was a commitment to bettering communities. Along the way we built our reputation on the core values of people, performance and passion, knowing that if these three elements were aligned, we would always do the right thing for the people we serve. Over three decades later, that idea—and those core values—still ring true. It’s what we strive for and what... READ THE POST

 

Lobbying for You

By Marybeth O. Green
March 26, 2019

In 2018, I came to Seabreeze as the Vice President of Training and Development. While that job title is broad by nature, one of the things I am laser-focused on is legislation. Why? Because in training Seabreeze employees and our community board members, it’s my job to stay abreast of upcoming senate and assembly bills as well as how newly-passed legislation affects both the association industry and our clients. Because we need transparency around these critical issues to fight for the changes we want—and lobby against those we don’t. It’s... READ THE POST

A Continued Resolution: Why Creating a Great Company Culture Is a Job That’s Never Done

By Isaiah Henry, President and CEO
December 28, 2018

I don’t know about you, but I love the holiday season. It’s a wonderful time of year where we can enjoy the company of family and friends and reflect on all of the things for which we are grateful. And it doesn’t stop there. The holidays culminate with the New Year, giving us all a chance to start with a clean slate to reach the goals and resolutions we’ve made for the year to come.

The Seabreeze Ecosystem Project

October 10, 2018

As an organization so deeply connected to and entwined with communities, we regularly have the privilege of witnessing the transformation of the world around us. We get to see new developments turn from empty lots into thriving neighborhoods filled with new friends and families, and we also see established communities change and grow, allowing residents to build deeper bonds with each other. It’s exciting and inspiring, which is why helping grow communities is at the very heart of our mission. However, growing a community is about more than buildings, landscaping... READ THE POST
