Edison Association Management
Solutions for boards

When something has to change — start here.

Most boards know they need a different operating model long before they make the move. The questions are usually the same: is switching worth the disruption? Should self-management end here? Is there a modern way to run this without losing the human relationship? Edison built three solution tracks for exactly those moments.

Three situations, one approach

Pick the situation that matches yours.

Each solution links to its own page with full detail, comparison table, FAQ, and a request-a-proposal flow tuned to that situation. The work behind them is the same — sized to the moment your board is in.

If you're considering a change

Switch HOA Management Company.

If your current manager doesn't return calls, your financials feel opaque, or your board is tired of doing the management company's job — switching is the lift. The Edison Transition Experience is the program that makes the lift the lighter part of the year.

  • Dedicated transition team with active COO oversight
  • Records digitized, vendors recredentialed, banks migrated in parallel
  • Meet Your Management event before cutover — homeowners meet the team
  • 60–90 days, end-to-end. No separate transition fee.
Industry reality
30–40%
Annual manager turnover at most large firms. Edison's is a fraction of that.
If self-management is wearing out

Self-Managed → Professional.

Self-managed associations get built on one or two volunteers' personal effort. The model works — until it doesn't. Compliance gets missed, audits get messy, the volunteer who held it together for a decade finally steps back. Edison structures the transition so what worked stays, and what was breaking the volunteer stops.

  • Custom hybrid agreements — full-service, accounting-only, or compliance-only
  • Audit-ready accrual books rebuilt from your existing records
  • Resident portal + WATTSON AI take volunteers off-call
  • Volunteer treasurer stays in oversight if the board wants — out of execution
The tipping point
1 person
Most self-managed associations rely on one volunteer. When they step back, the gaps get expensive fast.
If your tools are stuck in 2010

Modern HOA Management.

There's a lot of HOA management software. There isn't a lot of HOA management that actually uses it well. CINC Systems, the Action Item List, WATTSON AI, and Plaud meeting minutes solve the problems boards keep flagging — without removing the human relationship that makes management work.

  • Live Action Item List replaces stale monthly manager reports
  • CINC portals + real-time financial dashboards for the treasurer
  • WATTSON AI answers 24/7 resident questions
  • Polished draft meeting minutes delivered within 24 hours

Homeowner questions don't keep business hours. Your manager shouldn't have to either.
What changes

The shift from typical management to Edison.

Same operating model behind every solution above. Different pain points lead in, the same way of running the work follows.

Typical Management Company
Edison
Manager portfolio size
15+ communities per manager.
A limited portfolio per manager — well below the industry average.
Who runs onboarding
Sales rep hands the file off on day one.
Dedicated transition team with COO supervision through day 90.
Manager-to-board reporting
Monthly manager report — already stale on arrival.
Live Action Item List. Owner, status, target date — visible to the board in real time.
Accounting cadence
Statements 'when they're ready.' Often weeks late.
Monthly statements by the 15th. Audit-ready every month.
Homeowner support
Email the manager, wait days, maybe get a reply.
Resident portal + WATTSON AI 24/7; real person on the phone in business hours.
When you call the office
Voicemail tree. Callback maybe.
A person answers. Every time, between 9am and 5pm.
Agreement terms
Long-term lock-ins, non-competes, renewal-by-default.
12-month terms. Clean termination. Walk free with your records anytime.
How any solution actually starts

Four steps. Defined timeline. No mystery.

Whether you're switching, professionalizing, or modernizing, the first 90 days look the same — because the Edison Transition Experience is the program every solution runs through.

01

Discovery & Proposal

A senior Edison manager meets with your board to understand governing documents, pain points, and the capital pipeline. Written, fixed-scope proposal within 5–7 days.

02

Records & Vendor Cutover

Edison's transition team digitizes records, recredentials vendors, migrates banking, and updates insurance certificates — without disrupting daily operations.

03

Meet Your Management Event

Before official cutover, Edison hosts a community event so homeowners meet the actual manager, accounting specialist, and leadership team in person.

04

Day 1 & First 90 Days

Live operations. The Action Item List populates. WATTSON answers. Accounting is current. The COO supervises personally through day 90.

We inherited 18% delinquency, two unresolved hearings, and a manager who'd already moved to a new firm. Edison's transition team handled the lift — we didn't. A year in, delinquency was at 3.2% and the board could finally focus on the community.

FAQ

Questions boards ask when they're thinking about a change

How is a 'solution' different from a 'service'?
Services describe what we do — HOA Management, Condo Management, Accounting, Enforcement, Collections. Solutions describe what your board is going through — switching companies, leaving self-management, or modernizing the operating model. Solutions route into the same services, but they're framed for the situation you're actually in, not the line item on the proposal.
Do I have to pick one?
No. Solutions overlap. Most switching boards are also modernizing. Many self-managed transitions are also a tech migration. Pick the closest match for the conversation; we'll handle the rest on the proposal.
What if our situation doesn't fit any of these?
Talk to us anyway. Edison takes on associations in mid-transition rescue scenarios, communities with missing records, condos under SB-4D compliance pressure, master associations sitting over multiple sub-associations — the playbooks are built to flex. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you directly and point you elsewhere.
How long does any of this actually take?
60–90 days, end-to-end, for most transitions. Self-managed transitions are typically 45–75 days because there's no incumbent to disentangle from. Modernization happens in parallel with whichever transition path your board is on — it's not a separate project.
What does it cost?
The Edison Transition Experience is included in the management agreement — no separate transition fee, no records digitization charge, no Meet Your Management event cost. You pay the monthly management rate quoted in your proposal. That's it.
Can we talk before we're ready to commit?
Yes — and most boards do. Many boards talk to Edison a year or two before they actually transition. We don't sell pressure. When you're ready, we'll be the same Edison.
