Tired of juggling manual processes, chasing request forms, and repeating the same updates to residents? If your HOA portfolio is growing, your current tools might be holding you back.

At some point, you may find that repetitive tasks take longer than they should, or that simple requests require more follow-up than necessary. You might be thinking, there’s got to be an easier way to stay organized, keep residents in the loop, and make daily tasks more automated.

The good news? HOA software solutions, like ManageHOA by BuildingLink, are designed to take the stress out of community management and help you stay organized, informed, and ahead of the curve.

ManageHOA is built specifically to meet the needs of today’s single-family and townhome communities, making it easier to stay organized, communicate clearly, and increase transparency.

Use this checklist to see how your current tools stack up and where you might be able to improve processes for your board, your management team, and your residents.

Your HOA Software Checklist

1. Communication could be easier

Clear, timely communication is one of the best ways to keep homeowners informed and engaged. With ManageHOA, board members can easily send updates to the whole community or specific residents, track who’s seen them, and keep everything organized in one spot, no digging through emails or wondering who missed the message.

2. You're juggling more platforms than you’d like

If your team is bouncing between email, spreadsheets, and different apps just to handle everyday tasks, it’s probably time for a change. ManageHOA brings everything together in one platform: maintenance tracking, document storage, community communications, architectural review requests, and even violations reporting, so your board and management team can easily stay on top of all the moving parts.

3. You’re ready to move past paper

Paper forms and manual follow-ups slow everyone down. With ManageHOA, homeowners can submit requests or respond to notices online, while your board can track, manage, and store everything digitally; no clipboards or chasing down paperwork needed.

4. You want more transparency

When residents know where to find important updates, meeting minutes, and community policies, it builds trust. ManageHOA’s secure platform puts the right information at their fingertips, while keeping everything protected behind role-based permissions.

Good decisions start with good information. ManageHOA lets you pull custom reports on things like architectural reviews, compliance issues, financials, and resident communication, all in just a few clicks. That means more productive meetings and less scrambling to find answers.

The right software should make your work easier, not more complicated. ManageHOA is built to be simple, flexible, and backed by a team that deeply understands how HOAs work. When your tools work better, your board has more time to focus on what really matters: your community.
