About your teacher

Trustee Teacher exists because nobody hands you a playbook.

You got elected by your neighbors and inherited a building, a budget, and a stack of legal obligations, with no training. This is the training.

Who's teaching

Hi, I'm Jarrett Lau.

I run Green Ocean Property Management, a third-generation Boston firm. My family has been in Boston real estate since 1952; the firm has managed buildings here since 1977. Today my team manages 60+ Massachusetts condo and HOA associations and 1,000+ units.

I'm a Certified Manager of Community Associations (CMCA) and an Association Management Specialist (AMS). Those credentials exist because running an association is its own discipline, separate from managing rentals. A trustee carries a real fiduciary duty, the law (M.G.L. c. 183A) sets real rules, and the money has to be protected and accounted for.

I started Trustee Teacher because I sit in board meetings every week and watch good, smart volunteers drown in work nobody trained them for. The information shouldn't be locked up. So I'm teaching it, in plain English, for free.

What you can expect

Real, Massachusetts-specific, and free.

Everything here comes from running 60+ live associations, the same playbook my team uses.

Grounded in M.G.L. c. 183A and how it actually applies to your board and your building.
