What Community Management Corporation does

Community Management Corporation (CMC), operating as Associa Community Management Corporation, is a privately-held community association management firm serving the greater Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C. markets from two branch offices in Chantilly, VA and Columbia, MD. Founded in 1971 and operating as part of the Associa network since 2001, CMC provides full-service HOA, condominium, and master-planned community management, including governance and board support, financial and accounting services, collections, maintenance coordination, developer transition, real estate services, and lifestyle programming. Its primary customer segments are HOAs and condominium associations of varying sizes, with additional offerings targeted at luxury high-rises, property developers, active adult (55+) communities, golf/club communities, investment property owners, municipal utility districts, and mixed-use developments.

The company's technology foundation is a proprietary integrated platform comprising TownSq (an all-in-one mobile and web application used by managers, residents, and board members for communication, bill payment, work order submission, amenity reservation, and document access), the Community Manager Dashboard, ATG Enterprise Management Software (C3) for accounts receivable/payable, budgeting, and reporting, a centralized Accounts Payable system with automated workflows, a Vendor Access Portal for document verification, and Community Archives' document storage and retrieval system. CMC also operates the RHOME sub-brand for landlord rental property management and distributes Associa Financial Solutions products for HOA loans. The platform claims SOC 1 Type 2 certified financial controls and $6M fidelity bond coverage, the highest available in the industry.

CMC operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Associations, Inc. (dba Associa), a diversified parent operating 300+ branch offices across North America with 19,000+ team members serving 7.5 million+ residents. CMC monetizes primarily through recurring community association management contracts (multi-year, quote-based, no public pricing), supplemented by professional services fees (maintenance, financial, real estate) and managed-service rental revenue via RHOME. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales supported by an inbound proposal request funnel, CAI/WMCCAI chapter relationships, and a sales team including a dedicated Business Development Manager. Pricing is custom per community.

Direct peers

• FirstService Residential: Largest direct competitor in U.S. HOA and condominium management with national footprint serving thousands of associations. Mirrors CMC's full-service model (governance, finance, maintenance, developer services) and competes head-to-head on enterprise HOA contracts.
• RealManage: HOA and condominium management company serving Texas, California, Florida, and other Sun Belt markets with technology-driven community management. Direct competitor in HOA full-service management with proprietary software platform similar to TownSq.
• Sentry Management: Long-standing HOA and condominium management company headquartered in Florida with multiple regional offices. Full-service community management model serving HOAs, condominiums, and master-planned communities.

Broad incumbents
