Edison Association Management
Solutions · For boards considering a change

Thinking about switching HOA management companies?

If your manager doesn't return calls, your financials feel opaque, or your board is tired of doing the management company's job, you're not alone. Most boards know they need a change long before they make one. Here's how to make it the easier decision.

Industry Reality
30–40%
Annual manager turnover at most large management firms. Every change means your board starts over with someone who doesn't know your community.
What changes

Two ways this can go

Most management transitions fail because the new company has the same structural problems as the old one. Edison's model is different, and it shows up in the day-to-day, not just the pitch deck.

Typical Transition
The Edison Way
Who runs the transition
Sales rep hands the file to your new manager on day one.
Dedicated transition team with COO oversight runs the entire 60–90 day onboarding.
Records migration
Boxes of paper land at the new office. Sorting happens later.
Edison digitizes governing documents, financials, and homeowner records in parallel.
Manager portfolio size
15+ communities per manager, yours is one of many.
Limited portfolio sizes, so your community gets proactive attention.
Homeowner communication
Form letter announcing the change. Confusion follows.
Meet Your Management event introduces the team prior to the start date.
Manager turnover
Industry average is 30–40% annually. Boards start over every year.
A fraction of industry average. The manager who learns your community stays.
The Process

Four steps. 60–90 days. Handled by us.

The Edison Transition Experience is a defined program with a dedicated COO touch-point, not a generic onboarding form.

01

Discovery & Proposal

A senior Edison manager meets with your board to understand current pain points, governing documents, and capital pipeline, then delivers a written, fixed-scope proposal.

02

Records & Vendor Cutover

Edison's transition team digitizes physical records, re-credentials vendors, and coordinates bank account migration and insurance certificates, without disrupting daily operations.

03

Meet Your Management Event

A community-wide event introduces your new Edison manager and back-office team to homeowners before the official cutover, so day one feels like continuity.

04

Day 1 & Beyond

Your dedicated manager and accounting specialist are in place. The Action Item List is live. Residents get 24/7 answers through the portal. One phone number for everything.

We'd been with our last company nine years and dreaded the switch. Tracy's team handled the records, the vendors, and the homeowner meeting before we even saw a transition invoice. Day one with Edison felt like we'd been with them for years.

FAQ

Switching questions, answered directly

How long does the switch actually take?
Most transitions are complete within 60–90 days from contract signing. The first 30 days focus on records and vendor migration; the second 30 on the Meet Your Management event and homeowner communication; the final stretch on cutover and the live handoff to your dedicated manager.
What if we're mid-contract with our current company?
Most management agreements have a termination clause with 30–90 days notice. Edison's transition team can review your current contract to identify the right termination window and coordinate timing so there's no gap in service.
Will homeowners be confused?
Not if it's handled right. Edison runs a Meet Your Management event before the official cutover, your homeowners meet the new manager, the accounting specialist, and the back-office team in person. By cutover day, everyone knows who to call.
What is the Meet Your Management event?
A community-wide event Edison hosts on-property before the official cutover — typically in the clubhouse or a common area. Tracy attends. Your dedicated manager attends. The accounting specialist and enforcement coordinator attend. Homeowners come, ask their questions, meet the people, and leave knowing who to call. By transition day, the new team is already familiar. It removes the 'who is this new company' confusion that wrecks most management switches.
What does the transition cost?
Transition coordination is included in Edison's management agreement, no separate onboarding fee, no records digitization charge, and no setup cost beyond the monthly management rate quoted in your proposal.
What if Edison isn't the right fit?
Our agreements are 12-month terms with clear termination provisions. We don't believe in trapping boards, if Edison isn't a fit at the end of year one, you walk free with your records, your vendor list, and your processes intact.
What if we're switching from a really difficult situation?
That's exactly what the Edison Transition Experience is built for. We've handled mid-transition rescues from competitors, communities with missing records, communities with vendor disputes, and communities where homeowner trust was eroding. The harder the situation, the more a structured transition matters.
