Our HOA Management Solutions Packages

Not sure which HOA management solution fits your community? We offer four flexible packages for North Carolina and South Carolina HOAs, from fully hands-off management to accounting-only support.

Which HOA Management Package Is Right for Your Community?

Not sure where to start? Each package is built around a different level of board involvement. Here’s a quick summary to help you find your fit before diving into the full comparison below.

Partner-Plus®
Best for boards that want to hand off day-to-day management entirely. Includes violation inspections, full meeting facilitation, 24/7 emergency staffing, and a dedicated maintenance crew.

Basic Full Service
Best for boards that want professional management with flexibility. Core services are included; violation inspections, compliance, and emergency support are available as add-ons.

eManageSuite®
Best for self-managed HOAs that want professional software and accounting support. Includes online tools for violations, ARC requests, work orders, and real-time reporting.

Accounting Only
Best for communities that handle their own operations but need professional financial management. Covers accounting, collections, budgeting, and vendor management.

Service Highlights & HOA Website Features

All four packages include a dedicated resident services department, an HOA community website, and full online payment tools. The main difference at this tier: the Accounting Package doesn’t include ARC or work order tracking, service level agreements, or a board-only website portal.

Violation Inspections

This is one of the sharpest differences between packages. Partner-Plus® includes proactive, dedicated inspections as a standard part of the package. Basic Full Service offers the same services as optional add-ons. The eManageSuite® and Accounting packages don’t include on-site inspections but eManageSuite® gives your board online tools to manage the process internally.

Architectural Review

Architectural review management is included in Partner-Plus® and Basic Full Service. One risk boards often overlook: unanswered ARC applications can result in automatic approvals under your governing documents. Both managed packages include safeguards against this.

Architectural Review	Partner-Plus®	Basic Full Service	eManageSuite®	Accounting Only

Annual Meetings

All packages help with meeting prep and announcement timing. The gap is in on-site support. Partner-Plus® is the only package that includes full meeting facilitation, election certification, and homeowner sign-in staffing as standard. If your board needs hands-on support at the meeting itself, this distinction matters.

Annual Meetings	Partner-Plus®	Basic Full Service	eManageSuite®	Accounting Only
Announcement and agenda preparation	✅	✅	✅	✅
Meeting announcement timing per your bylaws	✅	✅	✅	✅
Attendance by portfolio manager or association coordinator	✅	✅	add-on	add-on

Payment Posting

Payment posting is identical across all four packages. Every community gets same-day processing, check imaging, real-time website payments, ACH enrollment, eCheck and credit card options, and recurring payment setup, regardless of which package you choose.

Collections

All packages include a complete delinquency management process, from 30/60/90-day letters to payment plan negotiation and legal collections when thresholds are met. Credit bureau reporting is available as an optional add-on across all packages.

Financial Reporting

Vendor Management

Every package includes access to CAM’s pre-approved vendor network with active insurance monitoring. The key difference: competitive bid solicitation is included as standard in Partner-Plus® only.

Emergency Service

This section has the starkest differences between packages. Partner-Plus® is the only package with a 24/7 maintenance crew included as standard. For condominium and townhome associations where after-hours emergencies are a real possibility, this is a critical consideration when choosing a package.
