Description

Home Herald is HOA management software built for the boards that actually do the work. If you're running your community without a management company - or thinking about it - this is the tool you wish you had two years ago.

Upload your property spreadsheet. AI reads your CC&Rs. Dues collection, violation handling, work orders, and communications run themselves. Your HOA is live in 15 minutes. Free for up to 50 properties, forever.

THE WORK YOUR BOARD ACTUALLY DOES, AUTOMATED

- Dues Chaser: Multi-channel dues collection that escalates automatically through in-app, email, SMS, push, and physical USPS mail. Stop knocking on neighbors' doors asking for money.
- Herald Chat: AI that reads YOUR community's CC&Rs and answers resident questions with citations. "Can I install solar panels?" gets answered at 10 PM on a Tuesday without a board email.
- Herald Shield: AI walks residents through covenant-relevant qualifying questions before a complaint is filed - so reports are real, not retaliatory.
- Email Agent: Residents email the board's address; AI triages, drafts a reply, and routes to a board member only if human judgment is needed.
- Books & Banking: P&L, AR Aging, AP Aging, and bank reconciliation in 10 minutes - no separate accounting software, no bookkeeper.
- Work Orders: Vendors stay on email and text the way they already work. No portal logins. AI structures the data on the HOA side.
