CAI's Builders Alliance was established to assist our builder/developer members in educating their communities before, during, and after developer transition, to make the process as smooth and seamless as possible. By joining the Builders Alliance, you'll enhance your perceived commitment to your customers and help their communities run more effectively.
For your convenience, we are making the following educational materials available to all members of the Builders Alliance, free of charge, for distribution to your communities.

This convenient eight-panel brochure should be included in sales kits and welcome kits. It provides the prospective homebuyer an idea of the added value of living in an association-governed community.
