Navigating HOA Management: Strategy, Charity, and Success with Rob Buffington
How does a former pastor with a degree in non-profit fall “ass-backward” into a thriving career in HOA Management and Staffing?
Here to tell us all about it is Rob Buffington, founder and CEO of Gordian Staffing and an experienced consultant in the HOA management space. From buying a few rental properties to becoming a real estate broker to rental property manager, he eventually found himself managing HOAs...and doing it rather well.
Now Rob brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to companies struggling with vendor services, staffing, accounting, and general management issues. How? Because he’s been there. In fact, Gordian Staffing was born out of the problems he himself was facing; finding and keeping quality staff to help with HOA management.
And it turns out - he was onto something. Within just a few years, 50 employees turned into 500, and he shows no sign of slowing down. Their mission is simple: To provide clients with the best possible service and consulting and make a positive difference in the world. They allow business owners to eliminate the clutter in their daily activities (like admin, basic accounting, customer service, etc.) so they can focus on what matters most: Growing their business. They provide companies with full-time, remote workers who live primarily in Mexico and who are 100% dedicated to your company. The vetting and screening, and busywork are all handled by Gordian Staffing. You just have to delegate.
We covered a lot of ground in just 25 minutes, so whether you’re an aspiring HOA manager, a real-estate junky, or a busy business owner looking for some relief, this is an episode you shouldn’t miss.
