    #248 - Anthony Rosales

    In honor of National Mentorship Day, we’re celebrating the power of mentorship, professional growth, and the next generation of HOA industry leaders! We’re joined by Anthony Rosales of Seabreeze Management Company, who shares how he found his way into the HOA industry, what it’s like being a newer community manager, and the experiences that have contributed to his success. In a special moment of HOA gratitude, Anthony recognizes our very own Kara Foley, sharing the impact she’s had on his professional journey and the importance of having mentors who encourage, challenge, and believe in you. We also tackle the big question: Will Anthony stay in the HOA industry for the long haul? From unexpected career paths to meaningful mentorship, this episode reminds us that everyone starts somewhere, and sometimes one person believing in your potential can make all the difference.

    #247 - Sean Patterson

    Are you using AI to its full potential, or just scratching the surface? This week on HOA Pros Podcast, Sean Patterson of CrossGen AI for an eye-opening conversation about moving beyond basic chats and putting AI to work. Sean shares why successful adoption starts with people, education, and leadership, and why you can’t simply buy software and expect your team to transform overnight. From turning a handwritten to-do list into actionable help to describing problems in ways that unlock better results, this episode offers practical ideas for community managers, business partners, and anyone curious about AI. Plus, we share an update on CAI-OC’s CAID project supporting Newland Park and the generosity helping make it happen. In his HOA Gratitude moment, Sean thanks his wife for supporting his leap from corporate America into building CrossGen AI and his passion for helping people navigate this evolving technology. He also gives a shout-out to his two sons and the family dog! Join us for laughs, fresh perspectives, and plenty of “Wait, AI can do that?” moments!

    #246 - Christian Rovsek

    What separates a vendor from a true business partner? We sit down with Christian Rovsek of Service First Restoration, Inc. to talk about what it really takes to build lasting relationships in the HOA industry. Christian shares his journey into the industry, a few memorable stories, and the lessons he’s learned about being proactive instead of reactive, mitigating liability and risk, and understanding what clients actually need. From price vs. true cost and “go-do” work vs. the RFP process to the importance of understanding WIIFM (“What’s In It For Me?”), Christian shares his perspective on creating processes around the client rather than simply completing a scope of work. And, of course, we wrap up with a little gratitude and a shoutout to Joe Price. Thanks to our sponsors!

    #244 - Dave Rauch

    This week, we sit down with Dave Rauch of ProTec Building Services, whose passion for extending the life of our communities comes through loud and clear. Dave talks about his work with the Foundation for Community Association Research Think Tank and the newly released Built to Last: Strategies for Extending the Economic Life of Community Associations, including a new tool designed to help HOAs evaluate their economic life. We also get into the importance of routine preventive maintenance, maintenance manuals, and planning for the long-term health of a community. Dave shares a special dedication to the late Tom Miller, a pioneer in construction defect litigation who helped pave the way for the maintenance manual. And in true HOA Pros fashion, we end with gratitude. Dave recognizes Dawn Bauman and her vision for CAI and the community association industry. Great conversation with someone who believes communities shouldn’t just be built, they should be Built to Last. Thanks to our sponsors!
