What's the difference between real estate management in the United States and China?

Nowadays, more and more China people have become new immigrants to the United States and come to the other side of the ocean to buy a house. Some people come to the United States to buy their own holiday homes and enjoy their holidays with their families every year; Some people even regard the current American real estate as a good choice for investment and spend a lot of money. No matter what the destination is, after American buyers are satisfied with the perfect house, they think of the future residence and community management.

Compared with China, the property fees in the United States are relatively high, such as Trump Tower, a famous seaside apartment in Miami. The monthly property fee is nearly 28 yuan/m2, and the annual property fee accounts for 0.9% of the total house price. However, the monthly property fee of Shimao Riverside Garden, a famous upscale community in Shanghai, is only 5 yuan/m2, which is only 0.4% of the total house price. Faced with such high property fees, many people don't understand and are reluctant. In many residential quarters in China, property management disputes often occur. For example, the service quality is often unsatisfactory, individual residents refuse to pay property fees, property management companies have difficulties in operating, and the service quality is further reduced, which is quite unfair to residents who continue to pay property fees.

So many people are always hesitant about the relatively high property fees in the United States. In this regard, it can be said that professional management is the most remarkable feature of American property management, and every penny of the owner will be convincing and will never be wronged. The reasons can be seen from the comparison of Chinese and American property management models.

On the Nature of Owners' Committee

China, a non-governmental organization, is a mass organization selected by the owner from the invoice to supervise the service of the property management company. The organizational structure is random and the management mode is loose.

America-Limited liability company operates in the form of limited liability company, with strict management.

Some states in the United States require owners' committees to have their own websites, and upload the monthly or quarterly board meetings of owners' committees to the Internet so that people can see them at any time.

Almost all owners' committees buy accident liability insurance. If there is a big legal lawsuit, the possible risks will be transferred to the insurance company.

On the problem of owners' arrears of property fees

China-Property Management Company negotiates recycling. Owners who do not pay property fees continue to enjoy services and public facilities, resulting in more owners not paying property fees, and property companies have only one appeal procedure to recover property fees.

United States-Compulsory Payment If some owners are in arrears with property fees, the owners' committee has the right to auction the owners' property rights through judicial hearings, or seize the property when the owners are listed for sale, and may not sell it until the owners pay the property fees. In some states, such as Texas, the owners' committee can even auction houses that are in arrears with property fees directly without judicial procedures.

Services of property management companies

China-Basic Property Support Services. The function of most residential property companies is to maintain greening, security, public areas and equipment maintenance. Swimming pools, clubs, gyms, etc. You need to pay extra to use it.

American-free, ultra-high-end service. Intimate services such as security, vehicle storage, greening maintenance, laundry and ironing, child care, patient care, newspaper delivery on behalf of subscription, weather forecast and stock market notification.

High-end apartments have five-star hotel-style services, such as Trump Tower in Miami mentioned in this article, which provides 24-hour butler service, beach service, room service, swimming pool, clubhouse, gym, spa, business center, fax sending, printing and even holding business activities. Many property companies regularly organize owners to have picnics and dinners to create a friendly and harmonious atmosphere in the neighborhood. All facilities and services are free and included in the property fee.

It should be said that most owners in China do not need property services and are unwilling to pay property fees. In fact, they want to enjoy a higher level of service, but China's residential property management and system is still not perfect. Comparatively speaking, the legal system of community management in the United States is perfect, and the operation mode of owners' committee is as standardized and professional as any enterprise. Every owner has to pay the property fee; The property company must provide the best service, put the interests of the owners' committee in the first place, and give the most meticulous service with all its strength; The owners' committee ensures that the owners enjoy a good life and a good environment, and strives to maintain and increase the value of residential real estate.
