What's the difference between a property management company and an HOA management company in Essex County?
A residential property management company works for individual landlords — finding tenants, collecting rent, and coordinating repairs on rental units. An HOA management company (community association manager) works for an association's board of directors: preparing budgets, collecting assessments, managing vendors, enforcing covenants, and keeping the association compliant with Massachusetts law. Massachusetts does not require a state license specifically for HOA or condominium association managers. Look for national credentials (CMCA, AMS, PCAM) held by the firm's managers. Some firms offer both services, but if you're hiring for an HOA or condo association, make sure the firm has real community association experience.
