About LotWize
LotWize is an AI-first HOA management platform built for self-managed communities — the 100,000+ HOAs in the US that operate without a professional management company.
These communities are run by volunteer board members who work full-time jobs and spend their evenings and weekends answering resident emails, tracking dues in spreadsheets, drafting violation letters, and coordinating vendors. The average volunteer board president spends 10–20 hours per week on unpaid HOA work. Burnout is the #1 existential threat to self-managed HOAs.
Our mission
Make self-managed HOAs sustainable. Over 100,000 communities across America are run by volunteers — neighbors who stepped up, not professionals who chose this career. They didn't sign up for a second full-time job. They signed up to keep their community a nice place to live. LotWize exists so these volunteers can make decisions, not do paperwork. The AI handles the execution — drafting, answering, scheduling, and tracking. Your board focuses on what matters.
Our approach
Every existing HOA tool makes volunteers more efficient at doing work. LotWize does the work forthem. Upload your CC&Rs, and the AI becomes an expert on your community's rules. From there, it drafts violation notices citing the correct sections, answers resident questions around the clock, sends payment reminders on schedule, and generates weekly board digests. The board's role shifts from operator to approver.
Our story
LotWize was born from a simple observation: AI had reached the point where it could reliably read legal documents, draft formal notices, and answer nuanced questions — yet nobody was building it for the communities that needed it most. The enterprise HOA platforms (AppFolio, Vantaca, CINC) were built for professional property managers at enterprise pricing. The self-managed tools (PayHOA, HOA Start) had no AI at all. There was a massive gap: powerful AI built for the volunteers who actually needed it, at a price they could afford.
LotWize is built by Sanaf AI Solutions, a company focused on building practical AI applications that solve real-world administrative problems. We believe AI should do the work people hate, so people can do the work that matters.
Why now
AI has reached the point where it can reliably read governing documents, draft legally-appropriate notices, and answer nuanced questions with citations. Two years ago, this wasn't possible. Today, it is — and nobody is building it for self-managed HOAs. The enterprise players (Vantaca, AppFolio) serve large management companies at enterprise pricing. The self-managed tools (PayHOA, HOA Start) have zero AI. LotWize fills the gap.
