To Members of Valley West HOA,

Our HOA transitioned to a new property management company, Legacy Properties, effective April 1, 2024. 

Valley West HOA was managed by Peak Property for more than 15 years. The Board thanks Peak for its many years of service to the Association.

Members will learn more about the Board’s decision to engage new property management at the Association’s Annual Meeting in June, and we encourage you to attend. Briefly, as a matter of due diligence, the Board requested proposals in Fall 2023 from carefully selected and well-regarded property management companies in the Gallatin Valley. After evaluating proposals and conducting interviews, the Board determined that the Association would be best served under the future management of Legacy Properties. While price was not the only consideration, the HOA will realize substantial cost savings as it moves to new management this spring.

Also this spring, the HOA will have a new contractor for mowing and landscape maintenance. As you can imagine, it will take the new company a little while to learn our property and establish mowing routes. If you notice areas that need attention, please let our property manager know. 

Again, further details about all of these changes will be provided at the Annual Meeting in June, and the Board looks forward to answering your questions at that time. In the meantime, Legacy Properties is your point of contact for HOA business beginning April 1.

Thanks as always for entrusting us to work on your behalf,
Your HOA Board
