Who we are
Minnesota Reserve Studies is a referral service. Writing studies, inspecting buildings and giving legal advice are all outside what we do. We put Minnesota association boards and managers in touch with providers who do.
The steps
- The form. You give a ZIP code, your role, the size and type of community, when reserves were last reevaluated and a way to reach you.
- A name by the next weekday. We read the request and reply with a provider whose coverage and experience fit: a townhome specialist for a suburban HOA, someone who studies mid-rises for a city condo, and so on.
- Your yes. Nothing goes to the provider until you agree. If you would rather not use them, tell us and your details go nowhere.
- The provider's proposal. The provider contacts you, confirms the scope and the CAI level, and puts a price in writing. If the board signs, it signs with the provider, not with us.
How the service is paid for
Boards pay us nothing. When a provider accepts an introduction, the provider pays us a referral fee. The fee does not change what the association is quoted, and we do not see or approve the provider's price.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your details to lists or send marketing.
- We do not pass a request to several firms at once without asking.
- We do not tell the board what level of funding to adopt. That is the board's decision, with its provider and attorney.
How we hold your details is set out in our privacy policy.
