Perfect for property managers with multiple communities

As someone managing 10+ different communities, I was always searching for a system that could keep me sane. HOA Central’s portfolio is the closest to what I wanted. I can jump from one HOA to another without needing another login and see everything in real time.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Portfolio dashboard, violation logging from mobile, ARC automation, easy vendor assignment for work and a lot more in a simple and intuitive interface.

Cons:

The initial onboarding process for large portfolios can take some time, as it involves migrating significant amounts of data and setting up multiple properties. However, once completed, the system becomes much easier to manage and offers streamlined operations for ongoing tasks.

Reasons for choosing HOA Central

Because it offered the best combination of user-friendly design, comprehensive features, and responsive customer support. The platform made it easy to manage communications, payments, and documents all in one place, which helped streamline our daily operations. HOA Central provided the most value and efficiency for us compared to other products we considered.

Reasons for switching to HOA Central

We made the switch because we found HOA Central to be more intuitive and better suited to our community’s needs. The interface is easier for our team and residents to use, and the platform offers more robust features for communication, document management, and reporting. The customer support with HOA Central has been more responsive and helpful, giving us greater confidence in the platform.

an HOA solution that actually works

After trying two other HOA management tools, we found one that ticks all the boxes. HOA Central does what it promises.

Pros:

This tool is the integration of communication, payments, and document storage into one platform. I particularly love the announcements feature - I can schedule messages in advance, and target specific groups. The payment tracking is a well designed feature - since using it, we don’t have to cross-check spreadsheets and bank statements manually.

Cons:

Would love to see a built-in community forum feature to encourage casual resident discussions within the HOA Central app itself.

Reasons for choosing HOA Central

The product was easier to use, had more useful integrations and the set-up was quite hassle-free.

Reasons for switching to HOA Central

HOA Central seemed like a better fit for our businesses long-term goals and day-to-day management.

A comprehensive tool for an HOA

We used to juggle 3 different tools - one for payments, spreadsheets for amenity bookings, and paper forms for violations. HOA Central has replaced all of them and is now the sole tool we use. You can just log in and see everything I need on one single dashboard.

Took the burden off the board

Before HOA Central, managing the HOA felt like the Everest of jobs. The platform has taken a huge load off our shoulders by automating reminders, organizing records, and making communication much more efficient. Now, we spend less time answering the same questions over and over, and more time actually improving the community. Board service feels manageable and even enjoyable again.

Pros:

Automated reminders, clear records, and streamlined communication mean we’re no longer fielding dozens of repetitive questions. It has made board service less stressful and more rewarding.

Cons:

Some residents have mentioned that the volume of notifications can be a bit much. While the information is helpful, it can sometimes feel overwhelming to keep up with every alert, control over the notification settings does this job pretty well.

Reasons for choosing HOA Central

HOA Central was the clear winner over Cinc because of its automation and user-friendly dashboard. Automated reminders and centralized records mean less manual work for our volunteer board.

Reasons for switching to HOA Central

This platform required more hands-on management and didn’t reduce repetitive questions as effectively.

Improves accountability

Transparency has been the biggest win for us. Now everyone know about everything and we don't have to worry about manually making sure that everyone is equally informed.

Pros:

People can see financial records, rule changes, and minutes right away. This has reduced suspicions and unnecessary arguments. It keeps everyone on the same page, which is worth a lot in HOA life.

Cons:

Reporting tools has some standard templates and it doesn't fully align with our branding needs. Wish that could have be slightly more customizable.

Reasons for choosing HOA Central

HOA Central puts transparency first. Residents can see financials, rule changes, and minutes without jumping through hoops. Competing tools felt more geared toward property managers, while HOA Central is built for open, accountable self-governance.

Makes meetings more productive

Before we started using HOA Central, our board meetings were often disorganized and ran off track. Now, with everything structured and accessible in one place, the meetings are far more focused. The platform has really helped us cut down on confusion and wasted time.

Functionality

Pros:

Since residents can access updates online ahead of time, meetings aren’t wasted going over basics. We use the platform to share agendas and notes, which helps everyone come prepared.

Cons:

Some members still want in-person paper copies of documents and its always a hassle keeping both the soft and hard copies available at once.

Reasons for choosing HOA Central

We chose HOA Central over tools like Buildium and AppFolio because it’s designed for real-time collaboration and easy document sharing. The agenda and notes features are more intuitive. Other platforms felt clunky, HOA Central was the right fit for our needs.

Functionality

Pros:

The platform has streamlined everything from payment collection to maintenance requests. Before HOA Central, I’d spend hours each week answering the same questions over and over. Now, residents can log in, find the information they need, and submit requests without calling me. The automated reminders for dues mean fewer awkward conversations about late payments. I also love the event management feature. It’s a huge time saver and has brought our community closer together.

Cons:

We would like to have more design customization options for the portal, such as the ability to adjust colors, layouts, and branding elements. This would help us better align the platform’s appearance with our community’s identity and create a more personalized experience.
