Dear Resident:
Grace Management and Subdivision Services are pleased to have been hired by your Board of Directors to manage Rock

Associations. We work closely with your Board of Directors to ensure the highest standards for your community. We are
available to all residents to answer any questions and/or concerns and look forward to working with you.
You may have chosen to live in a community with protective covenants because of the amenities, the beautiful environment
or to enhance the value of your property. Regardless of the reason, we believe your decision was a wise one and we will
make every effort to provide you with the best service possible.
Grace Management supports the Board of Directors by providing all of the financial services of the community including
collection of assessments, payment for services and production of monthly financial statements. We also help organize annual
meetings (i.e. securing a location, mailing out required notices).
Grace Management Services may also provide assistance with vendor selection including landscape companies, insurance
agents, pool cleaning companies, etc. We are available to all residents to answer any questions regarding their account or
other association matters.
The Annual Assessment for Rock Creek HOA is $460.00. Half of the assessment ($230.00) is due in January and the

Subdivision Services, Inc. provides a service to consistently and fairly enforce the Protective Covenants established for
Rock Creek. In addition, we are responsible for overseeing the landscaping services, pool cleaning, and other maintenance
contracts as directed by your Board of Directors.
We perform a weekly drive thru reviewing properties and noting any covenant violations. We ensure all proper notification is
sent to the homeowner in violation and follow up with the Board of Directors for resolution (i.e. assess a fine and/or enter the
property and make all necessary corrections).
The goal is to help homeowners be responsible for their own property and help maintain high property values for all in the
community. We are available to all residents to answer any questions regarding the Covenants and/or common area
maintenance or to report a violation.
