Is Your Reserve Study Still Working for You?

Costs go up. Boards change. Plans shift. And over time, even a quality reserve study can stop reflecting what your community really needs.

Get a quick, high-level review of your current report to see if it still holds up, or if it may be time for an update.

No matter who prepared it.




Why A Fresh Review Matters

Costs Have Gone Up
Material and labor costs have increased significantly in recent years. A study from just a few years ago might no longer match real-world conditions. A quick review can point out parts of your study that may no longer be tracking so you’re not surprised later when you set future budgets.

Lending & Insurance Requirements Are Evolving
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac now require up-to-date project schedules and reserve funding plans. A quick review ensures your study meets the latest lending and insurance standards.

Boards Change, Too
New board members often inherit plans that were created years ago. Those plans may not match the goals or priorities of the current board. A fresh look makes sure the study still fits what your community needs today.

You Need Reliable Information
Budgeting and planning depend on having numbers you can trust. A second opinion helps you spot areas that may be outdated or unclear, before small issues turn into big problems

Frequently Asked Questions About Reserve Study Reviews

1. Our reserve study is a few years old but we haven’t really used it. Is it even worth reviewing?

Yes — that’s exactly when a review is most valuable. Plans that sit untouched often don’t reflect current costs, project timelines, or board priorities. A quick, unbiased review can flag areas where the plan has drifted and give you clear next steps to get back on solid ground. Even if nothing’s changed, you’ll walk away knowing your numbers are still reliable.

2. We already paid for our last study — why get a second opinion?

Because in today’s fast changing economy, things change. Boards change, construction costs fluctuate, priorities shift, and sometimes the original study just wasn’t as thorough as it should’ve been. A second look doesn’t mean starting over; it’s a smart way to confirm what still holds up and catch any potential issues before they escalate.

3. What do you need from us to get started?

Just send over the existing reserve study (PDF or digital) and a few quick details about your property. We’ll handle the analysis. If anything is unclear, we’ll reach out with questions — no long forms, no digging through old files for hours.

4. Is there any obligation for a reserve study review?

No. This is a no-strings-attached offer. We’ll give you a clear, unbiased assessment of where your current study stands. If you decide you want to update it with us later, great. If not, you still leave with useful insights and zero obligation.

5. How long does a reserve study review take?

For most properties, you’ll get your review within five business days. If your property is large or the study is complex, we’ll let you know upfront so there are no surprises. Either way, we’ll give you a clear timeline and stick to it.

Ready to Know Where You Stand?

You don’t need a new study to get answers. You just need an expert set of eyes to bring clarity to the one you already have.
