Temporary Closure of Rice Mill Circle on Monday

NOTE: This communication was sent by CAMS on behalf of Sea Trail Master Association, Inc.

 

Dear Homeowners,

Please be advised that Rice Mill Circle will be closed to through traffic on Monday, November 9th while our contractor completes paving work at 227 Rice Mill Circle, the location where the recent stormwater repair project was performed.

The closure is necessary to allow the paving work to be completed safely and efficiently. Residents who live within the affected area will continue to have access to their homes; however, access will be limited to the entrance closest to you on either side of 227 Rice Mill throughout the day.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we complete this final phase of the stormwater repair project and restore the roadway.

If you have any questions, please contact the management office.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,

Janine Entwistle, MBA, CMCA®, AMS®, PCAM®

Hi Name of Resident

I hope you’re doing well. We need to issue a payment to a vendor who accepts Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal but our Treasurer, Jack Phillabaum is not familiar with these methods.

Could you handle the payment on our behalf? Jack will reimburse you by check.

Thank you for your help.

Warm regards,
Mickey Smith.
President

CAMS – Real Estate Transaction Fees

NOTE: This communication was sent by CAMS on behalf of Sea Trail Master Association, Inc.

 

Dear Community Members,

We have received questions about the fees associated with real estate transactions in our community and would like to provide clarity on this matter.

When a property changes hands, our management company is required to provide specific documentation and services to the closing attorney and/or other parties to the transaction to facilitate the closing and/or resale process.  These services are listed on the attached informational Real Estate Disclosure – Resale Disclosure Services.

These services require dedicated staff time, resources, and specialized expertise. It is common practice for management companies to utilize third-party services like HomewiseⓇ or Community Archives to handle requests for closing documents. This differs from when these functions were handled in-house during the self-managed period
of our community. Using specialized third parties helps ensure accuracy and reduces liability risks associated with providing incorrect information to closing attorneys. 
The fees will vary depending on which services are requested, ranging from $200 to $400+ (if expedited services are requested). The proration of fees is determined by the closing attorney as part of the settlement calculations.  The charging of such fees is standard within the property management industry as they are compensation for required professional services.

If you have specific questions about these fees, please contact our office directly.

Sincerely,

Janine
