Pros

“What I like least is when running a task report for work orders, if the work order is scheduled on the calendar for automatic daily tasks, when I run the report, it won't show the work order details.”

Lisa S.

Assistant Property Manager

“Daily activities such as reviewing reports, approving payments, sending notices, or uploading documents are straightforward and require minimal training.”

Diana G.

Association Manager

“The ability to track tasks, manage homeowner requests, and keep documentation centralized really improves productivity and accountability across the board.”

Isabella E.

LCAM

Pros

“Modern feel with well-designed web page templates, allowing you to create as many web pages as you need within your site.”

Troy S.

Vice President

“The platform provides a reliable and user-friendly space for document storage, online forms, scheduling, and community communication.”

Terrence S.

Web Developer - HOA board member

“Our onboarding specialist responded quickly to questions and the ability to implement and then continue to add features allow us to get to our community onto a platform that absolutely reflects our needs.”

Kurt B.

President

Cons

“From gaslighting, to blaming everything on user error, to jumping the gun, to giving false information, to not reading through the entire support thread, to not listening to any explanations, to long response times - the list goes on.”

Shane I.

Accountant

“Updates and merges to the new system, where components no longer work, or the option to add a message or add a photo on the app is there for the manager to work with and does not record in the actual file. Since it's no longer an option in the new system, we need to create a new process for action items.”

Jamie H.

Community Manager

“Had to have HOA reset my password but still can't actually access anything because of the original problem of inability to get last pop-up.”
