Designed for those who own or live in a CID property or serve owners or communities professionally
HOAhomepage is a platform dedicated to enhancing affordability and efficiency in Common Interest Developments (CIDs) by cataloging their physical and geolocation data and connecting community associations with tailored professional services. We collect local-level data to refine national housing trends, aiding policymakers in addressing the housing shortage and the reform of the statutory control of communities. Our tools empower volunteer boards to clarify needs, craft RFPs, and vet professionals, ensuring effective governance and maintenance. Self-managed communities number approximately 140,000 in the US. These communities still use many CIDpro categories. – read more
The CID IndustryHOAhomepage is an indexed archive of the Common Interest Development (CID) industry, covering the entire life cycle from initial subdivision to long-term community maintenance. While stakeholders like investors, property owners, and professionals change, the developments themselves are built to last indefinitely. Our core dataset focuses on two elements: the development’s physical characteristics and geolocation, and the community association responsible for its upkeep. Ultimately, our goal is to catalog all CIDs, making them connection points for all stakeholders.
The primary objective of HOAhomepage is to match community needs with CID professionals who have the expertise to meet those needs. The fact is, community associations are not all the same. The board of directors of a community(volunteers), with a few dozen detached homes, does not have the same need for professional services as a master community or high-rise condominium. The industry of CID professionals is prepared to serve any community. Regardless of the scope of responsibilities, each community board must strive to minimize assessments; it’s their fiduciary responsibility. However, finding the right people to volunteer is a major challenge for communities. We start from the perspective that all communities are self-managed. The task is blending board leadership and expertise with the professional help they need to meet their objectives. We help boards clarify their needs and organize their responsibilities, including governance, maintenance, and homeowner communications. We provide the tools for volunteer boards to craft “Requests for Proposals” and vet professionals who have targeted the community because they believe their experience and expertise are a fit.
HOAhomepage, a platform for common interest property owners, has identified several cost-saving solutions that leverage economies of scale. Few communities, however, take advantage of group service negotiations. Over the past 25 years, assessments have consistently outpaced inflation. In contrast, 30 years ago, assessments were seen as a bargain, providing convenience, amenities, and security for less than individual owners could secure. Today, assessments are often considered a “deal killer” by prospective homebuyers. Our research found communities within a mile of each other with virtually identical features but assessments that differed by 100%. While these are extreme examples, they highlight a key issue: without a demonstrable value for higher assessments, a community’s marketability suffers.
There are no registration fees for property owners. We intend to enhance common interest ownership, starting with making CI ownership more affordable.

The insurance industry is a critical element in the fiduciary responsibility of the board of directors of all CIDs. It is a significant part of the budget of all communities, as well. The industry provides the expertise the board needs to make the most affordable decisions meet their risks.
Hoahomepage focuses on three elements of the insurance industry, offering boards an opportunity to interact directly with Carriers, Underwriters, and Risk Managers, and get a better understanding of their community’s risks and the insurance products available to cover those risks. The board must first find an agent that fits the needs of their community association. This agent must be affiliated with an agency that can help assess the risks and find appropriate carriers. And determine the specific risks that can be mitigated, so these professionals need to be able to provide risk management services. In the CID industry, some agencies have at least one professional with a Community Insurance and Risk Management Specialist (CIRMS®) designation. These professionals can help boards reduce the risks they face.

Although we want feedback from all CID Tenants, we have a particular focus on those who intend to purchase their first home in a community association. HOAhomepage wants to help tenants find their first home. Beyond CID tenants, the platform extends to any first-time home buyers. We believe that Common Interest Developments can provide a more affordable gateway to entering the residential real estate market. This is one of the reasons we focus on preasuring state and local governments to minimize regulatory fees, and taxes that provide little and just makes new homes too expensive. Many states recognize this, and we will profile these states and deliver these examples to the citizens of the states that don’t. Property Exchange

In the last 60 years, over 95% of the current 350,000 CID communities in the US were built and gave birth to some of the housing industry’s iconic brands, like DR Horton, Lennar, Pulte, Toll Brothers, KB Homes, but there are hundreds of smaller building companies that drive innovation to meet our housing needs. Consequently, this directory strives to profile all CID builders and their communities.. Large or small builders were drawn to this type of subdivision to deliver affordable housing. However, they have been met with a barrage of unjustifiable fees, taxes, and regulations that have just made housing less affordable. This platform endeavors to offer the voting power of some 50 million common interest property owners to help the building industry battle high fees and overregulation.

What do CID and CI acronyms mean?Role of professionals on the HOAhomepage platform
The challenge for board members is creating a shortlist of candidates to submit proposals. The challenge for CID Professionals is getting on the short list. Although we publish a directory of CID Professionals for boards to search, filter, and explore, the most effective way for boards to match their needs with professionals is to view a list of professionals who know your community and believe they are a fit. Our Target Market application enables professionals to target specific communities in their local service area that fit their experience and expertise. On each community listing, the board can view the list of professionals who have targeted their community. The board can view the professional’s profile, client list, endorsements, articles, surveys, and why they targeted the community. The board can make contact, tag, or share with other board members. The point is to initiate a conversation early in the process of retaining professional services.
