AtHomeNet

What AtHomeNet does

AtHomeNet is one of the foundational brands in the U.S. HOA and community association management software market, founded in 1998 as a pioneer in HOA websites and community portals. It was acquired in 2013 by K1 Investment Management, which consolidated it alongside AssociationVoice, Caliber, Capsure, DwellingLive, and later Evercondo under Community Investors, Inc. K1 sold the consolidated business to CIP Capital in 2015, and in 2017 the holding company rebranded to FRONTSTEPS. Today, AtHomeNet operates as a retained legacy brand within the FRONTSTEPS platform, providing HOA website and homeowner portal services that connect residents with their community associations. The platform targets U.S. and Canadian community management companies, individual community managers, and the homeowners and board members they serve.

The FRONTSTEPS platform (and AtHomeNet within it) is a cloud-based SaaS suite spanning five core modules: FRONTSTEPS Caliber for HOA accounting and financial management, FRONTSTEPS Community for resident engagement and communication, FRONTSTEPS Payments for PCI DSS compliant online assessment processing, FRONTSTEPS Manager for back-office CAM operations (architectural requests, violations, work orders, budgets, reports), and FRONTSTEPS Dwelling for visitor management and gated-community security. The architecture is web-based with mobile apps on iOS and Android, and the platform integrates via a Verified Ambassador partner program with 14+ adjacent fintech, AI, governance, and collections providers (AvidXchange, ANVA, CheckAlt, Edenred Pay, FINITE, CondoVoter, GetQuorum, TechCollect, Telebria, VIVE, Levelheaded, ReadyRESALE, Thumbtack). AI capability is delivered through the ALLi generative assistant in Manager, plus partner-provided AI for fraud detection, collections automation, and document search.

Revenue is generated through subscription-based software licensing priced by community size and feature modules, augmented by payment-processing economics on FRONTSTEPS Payments. GTM is sales-led, with enterprise field sales targeting community management companies and associations, complemented by demo-driven contact forms, partner referrals, and professional services for onboarding and training. The company is privately held under CIP Capital, headquartered in Denver, Colorado, and is recognized as a Best Places to Work employer in 2023, 2024, and 2025. AtHomeNet alone reportedly reached over 1 million homes by 2007 prior to its acquisition and integration into the broader FRONTSTEPS ecosystem.
