How deep the field is here

Before you set expectations on how many proposals arrive.

Lowell sits 23 miles from Boston, well inside the radius almost every company in that market already serves. In practice a Board here draws on the whole Boston field, which is why fee quotes in Lowell track the metro rather than the town.

Lowell sits in Middlesex County, alongside 24 other published markets. Statutory deadlines, recording, and in some states inspection requirements are administered at the county level, which is why a company already working in Middlesex usually knows things a company an hour away does not.

What you get back

Not a list of companies. A document your Board can decide from.

Written proposals, one format

Base fee, contract term, escalator and whether it is capped, onboarding, the full ancillary schedule, the named manager and how many other communities that person carries. Every company answers the same questions in the same boxes.

A three-year total cost

Each company's own escalator compounded across three years, plus its own onboarding fee and its own estimated ancillary charges. It reorders the ranking more often than not.

Flags, generated mechanically

An uncapped escalator, a manager who is not named, an ancillary schedule that was not attached. Each flag names the rule that produced it, so your Board can disagree with the rule instead of arguing with a verdict.

Technology and reporting, compared

What a resident can do without calling anyone, what a Board member can see in the portal, where AI is used in the service, and exactly what is in the monthly financial package.

Your current agreement, beside the offers

Upload what you are under today and the comparison stops being "which of these four" and becomes "is any of these four better than what we signed".

A record for your minutes

Where each director stands, with name, role and time, and a resolution drafted for adoption at your next properly noticed meeting.

What proposals in this market tend to look like

At the size most Lowell communities are — 100 to 249 units — the regional benchmark works out to $18.85 per unit per month, or about $3,300 a month. That is a modelled figure for Massachusetts, not a measurement of Lowell, and it is a starting point rather than a target: the proposals your own Board collects are the real number, and the spread between the highest and lowest is usually wider than Boards expect.

Community sizeTypical per unit, per monthMonthly, at that size
Under 100 units $22.54 $1,352
100 to 249 units most common here $18.85 $3,300

The rules that apply in Massachusetts

What the association is called here

In Massachusetts the governing body is a condominium association or trust and the person running it day to day is a managing agent. Proposals from companies that work here will use those words; one that does not is usually a company entering the market rather than operating in it.

Governing law

M.G.L. Ch. 183A (Condominiums)

Massachusetts association law
Licensing

Massachusetts does not license community association managers, so credentials such as CMCA, AMS and PCAM, and the firm's own insurance position, carry more weight here than a licence number would. BoardMatch verifies what exists rather than implying a licence that does not.

Licensing detail
Notice, and why it decides your timing

Most management agreements run an initial term and renew automatically unless written notice arrives inside a window — commonly 30, 60, or 90 days. The window in your own agreement is the one that governs, and missing it by a week is how a Board ends up locked in for another year. Upload the agreement and BoardMatch reads the clause out of it and drafts the letter in the form it requires.
