On this episode, we sit down with Ray Echlin and Jim Sattler of Design Build Associates for a candid conversation about the true value of experienced construction management in the HOA industry.

Ray and Jim share the legacy they are building through decades of industry experience, why community managers should not be expected to act as construction managers, and why boards need to bring in the right experts for complex projects and major decisions. The discussion also dives into the importance of the Business Judgment Rule and how board members can better protect their communities by relying on qualified professionals.

The episode is filled with real-world perspective, industry insight, and a few crazy stories along the way.

Most importantly, Ray and Jim express their gratitude for Dennis Brooks and for all the volunteer board members who dedicate their time, energy, and service to their communities every day.

#231 - Tia Fleming & Melissa Matlock

HOA Pros — Sun, 10 May 2026 21:17:34 +0000

We’re diving in again to one of the most important (and time-sensitive) topics impacting HOAs across California… AB 1572.

Tia Fleming and Melissa Matlock from CalWEP join us to break it all down in a way that actually makes sense for managers and boards. From defining what non-functional turf really is, to sharing the go-to resource every community needs (nonfunctionalturfca.org), this episode is packed with practical guidance you can act on now.

We also take a moment to recognize Krista Guerrero and the Unsung Water Heroes who are doing incredible work behind the scenes in water conservation.

And here’s the reality check… 2029 is coming fast. Water will need to be shut off, fines up to $1,000 per day, and both state and local enforcement are very real. The question isn’t if—it’s whether your community is planning ahead or scrambling later.

If you manage or serve on an HOA board, this is one episode you cannot afford to miss.
