Each year at this time Barker Martin coordinates a survey eliciting responses from Pacific Northwest condominium and homeowner associations on a topical issue. Two years ago we surveyed associations on management issues. Last year our survey covered collections. This year, with the economy continuing to improve, we thought we’d survey associations on their general financial status and budgeting priorities.

As with each of our surveys, data is collected from hundreds of homeowners, board members, managers and residents of condominium associations, homeowner associations and other common interest communities throughout the Pacific Northwest. This information is collated into a comprehensive report that we then share free of charge, so that associations can compare how they are conducting business with other, similarly situated associations in the region.

The online survey is anonymous and completely confidential. Rest assured that Barker Martin will not collect, record, or disseminate personal information about the survey participants or data from their computers. Responses to Barker Martin’s Financial Status Survey will be held in the strictest confidence and only aggregate statistics and comments will be compiled made available in a final summary report produced by the team at Barker Martin.

The survey should take five minutes or less to complete and can be accessed here. We look forward to hearing from you. Let us know if you’d like to receive a copy of previous years’ surveys.
