About WhoIsMyHOA

Buying a home is often a one-time decision, but one of the most important parts of condo ownership is also one of the hardest to evaluate beforehand: the HOA or condominium association.

Buyers can review the unit, the building, and the neighborhood, but it is much harder to know how the property is maintained, how responsive the management company is, how fairly rules are enforced, or what current residents have experienced. A condo questionnaire provides useful facts, but it rarely shows the full picture.

After buying, owners may suddenly discover how much power the HOA has over their everyday lives. Owners bear the consequences of the board’s decisions—and its indecision—on finances, maintenance, upkeep, and ennforcement of their own rules. At the same time, boards and trustees are often given substantial legal discretion in how they manage the property and deal with residents.

I believe this is one of the most important and overlooked factors in condo living.

WhoIsMyHOA is intended to reduce the information and power imbalance between owners and the organizations managing their homes. It gives prospective buyers a better way to understand an association before purchasing and gives current owners a public platform for feedback that is harder to ignore.

How It Works

Enter an address to find publicly available information about the property’s condominium association and management company.

Owners and other people with direct knowledge can:

• Update property and management information for their community;
• Evaluate trustees and managers across specific areas of performance;
• Share first-hand experiences;
• Review a management company across the different properties it manages; and
• Consult external records and sources for a broader view.

Renters living in professionally managed properties can also review their experiences with the management company.

Real-estate agents can use the platform to provide clients with more context than a standard condo questionnaire alone, including community feedback and information from across other properties managed by the same company.

The goal is to create one centralized place to find information related to a condominium association or manager.

What I Hope to Build Next

I plan to add more public records in more major cities, including condo associations, historical violations and complaints where reliable data is available. This has currently been implemented only for Boston, and I hope to expand the coverage over time.

I also want users to help decide what should be built next. Please tell me what features would be most useful when evaluating or living in a condominium.

Join the Mission

WhoIsMyHOA began as one person’s effort to give owners better information and a stronger voice. It will become more useful as more people take part.

You can help by:

• Sharing the platform with homeowners, buyers, renters, and agents;
• Correcting and expanding the property fact base - the condo management companies are usually not easily searchable;
• Contributing honest reviews and helping build a credible review ecosystem;
• Telling me what matters to you and what the website should build next; or
• Reaching out to collaborate more deeply on the mission.
