Budget Season Starts Now—Let the Numbers Guide You

August is when many communities start shaping next year’s budget—and the smartest managers are already asking, Where can we cut costs without cutting quality? The Livvie Savings Calculator gives you a clear, customized estimate of how much your community could save by streamlining operations, eliminating third-party tech contracts, and reducing staff overload. It’s quick, easy, and built to help you prepare smarter, not later.

Back-to-School = Back to Structure

August brings a shift in pace as families settle into new routines. Expect earlier gate traffic, heavier package volume, and more frequent guest check-ins from caregivers, tutors, or after-school programs. For community associations, it’s the perfect time to recalibrate:

• Are your access procedures efficient and secure?
• Are front desk and concierge teams prepared for the uptick in activity?
• Are your communication channels clear and consistent?

Back-to-school isn’t just for the kids—it’s a reset moment for community operations, too.

Insurance Renewal Season: Are You Prepared?

As we enter the second half of the year, many associations are approaching their annual insurance renewal window — typically in Q4 (October–December). This is a critical time to assess risk, ensure adequate coverage, and prepare for premium adjustments. By starting early, your Board can make informed decisions that protect both the community and its financial health.
