Directories and credentialing organizations

Use these sources to discover providers and understand the credentials they describe.

  • Credentialing organization

    Community Associations Institute (CAI)

    CAI says RS applicants need at least three years of reserve-study experience, 30 studies based on visual on-site observations in the prior three years (at least 20 Level I or II), a qualifying degree or an allowed alternative, and compliance with its code of ethics. CAI requires redesignation every three years.

  • Professional directory

    CAI ProFinder

    The supplied research identified ProFinder as a directory of credentialed professionals and used the Facilities Advisors listing as an example. The research notes that visitors may need to filter the broader directory to find reserve specialists.

  • Credentialing organization and directory

    Association of Professional Reserve Analysts (APRA)

    APRA says it was founded in 1995. Its public directory can be searched by designation, state, country, and area of service. APRA’s PRA page lists membership in an APRA member company, five years of full-time reserve-study experience, and 50 site-inspection studies among its credential criteria.

  • State-by-state directory

    Effortless HOA reserve-study directory

    Recorded coverage: All 50 states

    The supplied research describes state-by-state listings across all 50 states. Its linked Nevada page reports that listings were checked against firm websites and separates regional firms from a nationwide group.
