A full-service management company for a 75-unit Sarasota 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 Florida, management companies operating under F.S. § 720.305 should be asked to confirm their licensing status. Look for CAI (Community Associations Institute) or CACM credentials as indicators of professional training.
