What Makes Community First Property Management (C1PM) Different

Local, On-Site Expertise

We’re not just based in San Jose—we live and work here. Our team is present on-site, walking communities, and working directly with Boards and homeowners. No out-of-state call centers. No remote-only reps.

Flexible, Transparent Management Services

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model. Whether your community needs full-service management, financial-only support, or a hybrid approach, we build the right plan around your needs, not ours.

Deep Industry Roots—Without the Red Tape

Our leadership team brings 120 years collectively of HOA and operations experience, but we’ve intentionally stayed independent. That means no bureaucracy, just clear, competent service with heart.

HOA-Focused Technology That Works for Everyone

We use industry-leading tools to provide modern, user-friendly portals, newsletters, emergency texting, and more. But we never force technology on a Board or resident. If your community prefers a more personal touch, we adjust to fit.

Proven Seamless Transitions

We’ve successfully onboarded dozens of communities, without overwhelming Boards. Our proactive transition process ensures documents, homeowner communications, and financials are handled with clarity and care from day one.
