A guided setup wizard covers association profile, units, board seats and dues. Small associations are typically live the same day.
Resident experience
Installable mobile app, homeowner profiles with emergency contacts, one-tap meeting join and text alerts.
AI assistance
Meeting notes and recordings become draft minutes with motions, votes and action items for board approval.
Pricing model
Flat monthly rate by door count, published on the pricing page, with a public quote calculator.
Questions to ask every vendor
- Do I need full rental property accounting, or association management only?
- How long does implementation take for an association my size?
- What is the minimum monthly spend?
- Will homeowners actually use the resident portal on their phones?
