What anchor associates does

Berkshire Lakes Master Association, Inc. (BLMA) is a Florida nonprofit homeowners association that governs and manages a 1,639-unit deed-restricted residential community in Naples, Florida. The association's membership is composed of 669 detached single-family homeowners plus owners of condos, villas, and coach homes organized across eight sub-associations (Berkshire Landings, Coach Homes, The Colonies, Partridge Pointe, Newcastle, Melrose Gardens, New Waterford, and Windsor Place). Condo, coach home, and villa owners are required to hold dual membership in the Master Association and their respective sub-association. The community features seven lakes with walking paths, a clubhouse with an approximately 2,700 sq ft waterfront banquet room, a pool, two tennis courts striped for pickleball, and a private fishing pier.

BLMA's core technology stack is a conventional HOA management platform consisting of an online resident portal (for documents, notices, community calendars, FOB purchases, and clubhouse reservations), a ClickPay-integrated payment processing layer for dues collection, and an electronic FOB access control system for amenities limited to two key FOBs per household and not issued to renters. The community website is hosted and maintained by RGB Internet Systems.

The association's revenue model is predominantly subscription-based through annual HOA dues ($690 per unit for 2026, paid in advance and due January 1), supplemented by transactional fees including $160 purchase application fees, $150 lease application fees, $20 FOB charges, a $1,000 clubhouse rental (inclusive of deposit), and a schedule of violation fines. Property management was transitioned to Newell Property Management effective September 2, 2025, with CAM Eileen Ward overseeing day-to-day operations including board assistance, compliance enforcement, and common-area upkeep. Henry Johnson Law serves as the legal partner handling estoppel requests for all sales transactions.
