Traditional HOA management companies often promise convenience - but at a steep cost. They typically charge $15 - 20 per unit, while also taking control of everything from finances to grounds maintenance. Over time, boards lose transparency, budgets shrink, and homeowners are left paying more for less.

 

HOAM flips the script and challenges the traditional structure.

 

Instead of charging inflated fees to oversee every last detail, HOAM created a hybrid model:

 

HOAM handles the back-end office work - tax filings, collections, payables, liens, bookkeeping, violations, meeting minutes, and more. We also handle the front end office – where your members will have a phone number or email to contact – either HOAM will handle them or it will be routed to the correct party. This helps alleviate pressure on the board and allows the board to also carry on with work or daily obligations without the “on-call” feeling.

 

The board and homeowners keep control of the grounds and vendor relations, ensuring cosmetic standards remain high and accountability stays local.

 

And this is where it just makes sense: homeowners are on the property every single day. They see the lawns, the snow removal, the landscaping, the lighting—everything that shapes curb appeal and quality of life. A management company, on the other hand, may only set foot on the property once or twice a year. There’s no way they can catch issues, enforce standards, or make smart spending decisions from a distance.

 

By letting the people who live there oversee the grounds, HOAs eliminate wasted money, improve responsiveness, and maintain higher standards of care. Meanwhile, HOAM ensures the administrative backbone is handled professionally and at a fraction of the traditional cost—starting at just $8 per unit .

 

The result? A smarter balance of professional efficiency and community control. Homeowners get the administrative muscle of a management company, but keep the practical, day-to-day oversight where it belongs: with the people who actually live there.

 

For HOAs tired of seeing their funds drained by oversized management companies, HOAM’s model isn’t just more affordable—it’s the only structure that makes real-world sense
