HOA Management Overview

Managing an HOA is about more than balancing budgets and enforcing rules. It is about protecting property values, maintaining trust, and building a stronger community. At First & Main Property Management, we combine professional accreditation, proactive planning, and modern technology to give your board the tools and guidance it needs to lead with confidence.

Our Professional Standards

Your HOA deserves a management partner with the highest credentials and a commitment to ethical practice.

• CACM Certification: Our managers are certified by the California Association of Community Managers, ensuring compliance with state-specific laws and best practices.
• CAI Accreditation: Recognition from the Community Associations Institute, reflecting national leadership in ethics and governance.
• Continuing Education: Each manager completes annual coursework covering California HOA law, ethics, and leadership so your board always benefits from the latest knowledge.

Our Conflict-Free Commitment

We recognize the potential conflicts that arise when management companies also operate as realtors. That is why First & Main Property Management prohibits managers from holding real estate licenses. Our sole focus is your community, not outside sales. This ensures impartial decision-making and eliminates conflicts of interest.

A Proactive Approach to Management

Too many HOAs operate reactively, holding monthly meetings to solve problems after they occur. This often leads to underfunded reserves, surprise expenses, and stressed board members.

At First & Main Property Management, we help boards move from reactive to proactive. Together, we build long-term roadmaps that include:

• Preventative maintenance planning, such as fence sealing or sewer line hydro-jetting.
• Reserve funding strategies that prevent costly special assessments.
• Guidance on evaluating loans, dues adjustments, or other funding options.
• Regular updates that keep your board focused on what needs to be done next, not what was missed last month.

The result is a community that stays financially strong and physically well-maintained.
