What should management cost our community?
A modelled estimate before the proposals arrive, so your Board can tell an outlier from a normal number. It runs in your browser: nothing is submitted, no bid is started, and no Management Company hears about it.
Your community
Ask for the cap. An uncapped escalator is the single most expensive line in most management agreements, and it is rarely on page one.
Regional benchmark banded by community size, modelled from published industry ranges — Published industry ranges compiled from HOAManagement.com and iPropertyManagement fee guides, 2026. It is not a measurement of your market, and BoardMatch does not publish market-level medians until it holds at least ten verified proposals there.
What this estimate deliberately does not include
Roughly the things that turn a good-looking quote into a bad contract, and none of them can be modelled from a unit count:
- The ancillary schedule. Resale certificates, estoppels, lien preparation, extra meetings, mailings, capital project oversight. On a small association this is frequently the difference between the cheapest quote and the most expensive one.
- The onboarding fee. Published ranges run from $2,000 to $30,000, which is a range wide enough to be useless until a company states its own number.
- What the base fee stops covering in year two. Scope drift is not billed as an increase.
- Whether your manager carries six communities or nineteen. The largest single driver of whether a Board is satisfied, and it appears nowhere in a price.
The only number that settles this is a written proposal from a company that wants your community. BoardMatch collects several of them against one scope, in one format, with the ancillary schedule required rather than optional, and hands your Board a single comparison on day 30 — day 15 on the rush option. Free for Boards, and no company gets your phone number until you ask.
