Overview
HOA & Community Association Management covers the management of homeowners associations, condominium associations, and community associations — financial administration, maintenance coordination, governance support, and reserve management for the tens of thousands of community associations housing a large share of Americans.
Demand is driven by the steady growth of association-governed housing (most new residential development is association-governed) and the complexity of running associations, making it a recurring, sticky, recession-resistant service. It is consolidating rapidly around scaled platforms (FirstService Residential, Associa, RealManage) rolling up local management companies, and one of the most attractive property-management roll-up niches.
