A full-service management company for a 75-unit New York City community costs roughly $750–$1650/month. LotWize starts at a fixed plan rate regardless of unit count, giving self-managed boards a substantial cost advantage while keeping full control of operations.
Some states require property managers to hold a real estate license or a Community Association Manager (CAM) license. In New York, management companies operating under N.Y. Real Property Law § 339 should be asked to confirm their licensing status. Look for CAI (Community Associations Institute) or CACM credentials as indicators of professional training.
LotWize is built for self-managed boards — dues collection, violations, financials, and communications in one platform. No management company required.
