As you know, we are in the process of switching Mgt Companies. The effective date for Sentry Mgt Co. is Sept 1st but we are in the process of beginning to transfer all info at this time.
You may not receive a welcome letter or a new coupon book from Sentry until around Sept 7th in order for everything to be set up properly and distributed to all residents.

We also have to ensure our new bank accounts are set up properly especially because we will now send all our HOA dues directly to the bank for processing. We will be dealing with a local Colonial Bank. This way we will not be dealing with a middle man in order to be properly credited for your monthly HOA payment.

Please be patient during this process. We know many like to get their payment in timely since they are due by the 1st of each month and considered late if not rec'd by the 10th of any given month. With this change in mgt companies we understand there will be a delay in sending in Septembers HOA dues payment and you will not be charged a late fee. All we ask is as soon as notification is sent out and rec'd from the new Mgt Company that you send your payment in ASAP.

I rec'd an email from one resident stating that they had sent in their Aug hoa payment but just rec'd it back from Hayden. If you have experienced the same thing please hang onto your payment and envelope rec'd back from Hayden. You will not be charged a late fee. We are tryng to find out why Hayden is doing this and will let you know as soon as we get a response. If you have experienced this as well please let me know: francine@swfla.rr.com

PLEASE NOTE--this is a Mgt change only...we are keeping all our current vendors (Greenscapes, Tri-City pool, Atty, etc) since we are pleased with the work and accomplishments thus far.

Thank you

***PLEASE NOTE-- on the new coupons it specifically states that payments that are late, meaning after the 10th day of each month, will be assessed interest charges of 18% apr until paid. Payments are due the 1st of each month for that month and must be received by the 10th of each month to avoid such charges.

This will go into effect as of the OCTOBER 1st payment due since we are in the middle of transition and want to give time to ensure all have received the new info. It is important to contact Sentry if not rec'd by next week.

Also, if you were prepaid for several months or the year then that info will automatically transfer over to them via the financials.

Should you have any questions, concerns, or would like to know if you currently have a balance owed, as always you can email me at: francine@swfla.rr.com

Thanks

Mortgage company is concerend clsoing may have to be delayed due to changeover. Hopefully new company will be up to speed ASAP. This was par for the course for Hayden. Seems like everytime I have a closing n a community where Hayden manages or has managed, it gets delayed.
