As we prepare for the transition of our HOA from developer to homeowner leadership, every homeowner plays a part in helping us get ready. One of the best ways to do that? Keep your eyes open and share what you see. If you notice something that could affect the turnover process, please share it with the appropriate team above by sending them an email. The earlier we identify issues, the easier it is to address them before the official handoff. Continue to contact First Service Residential when you see something that requires maintenance. Also, remember, the HOA’s responsibility covers shared spaces like streets, sidewalks, common area landscaping, the clubhouse, pools, and fitness areas, not individual home or lot issues. By focusing on the areas we all share, we can make sure everything is in great shape when it’s time for homeowners to take the lead. Your eyes and input make a difference! Together, we’re helping ensure a smooth, successful transition—and keeping Del Webb Wildlight a place we’re all proud to call home.
