Twin Cities · HOA / Condo / Townhome
Community management,
run by people who build.
Elevate manages Minnesota associations the way a good builder runs a job: transparent numbers, vetted trades, and follow-through you can inspect. The board keeps every decision. We do the heavy lifting.
Founded by a 40-year association veteran and a licensed general contractor. Free consultation — no obligation, and “you don’t need us yet” is an answer we give.
The community year
A Minnesota association runs on a calendar. So do we.
This is the operating rhythm every community we manage follows — what your board should expect to see happening, month by month, without asking.
Twelve months, one rhythm — hover any month to see the work it brings.
What we take off the board’s plate
Six jobs, done properly.
Financial management
Assessments collected, bills paid with board oversight, and a monthly statement a non-accountant can actually read.
DetailsMaintenance & projects
Vendors vetted and supervised by people who have run job sites — scopes, bids and workmanship checked before money moves.
DetailsBoard support
Agendas, packets, minutes and institutional memory, so five volunteers stop doing a part-time job in their spare evenings.
DetailsCompliance & MCIOA
Notices, meetings, reserves and fine procedures run the way Minnesota statute expects — by default, not by scramble.
DetailsReserve planning
A funding plan on every monthly statement, reviewed on the cycle the law requires — so the roof never arrives as a surprise.
DetailsOwner communication
A phone number that gets answered, a portal that works, and replies within one business day. Owners feel the difference first.
DetailsWhy boards switch to us
New firm. Old-school accountability.
Elevate was founded in 2025 because its founders had watched, for decades and from both sides, how legacy management treats communities once the contract is signed. We are small enough that your community is the point — and experienced enough that nothing about it surprises us.
Read our storyBuilt by builders
Our founders spent their careers in HOAs and residential construction — 40 years around associations, 20 as a licensed general contractor. When a vendor quotes your board a roof, someone who has built roofs reads the bid.
Books you can see
Monthly financial statements to every board member, association-owned bank accounts, reserves held separately as Minnesota law requires. Transparency is the product, not a feature.
Sized to care
We are deliberately not the biggest firm in the Twin Cities. Your community gets a named manager who knows your property — not a ticket queue with a service-level agreement.
Answers, not voicemail
Non-emergency inquiries get a reply within one business day. Emergencies get a human on a 24/7 line. We put it in writing because we intend to be held to it.
Who we serve
Townhomes, condos, single-family HOAs — from 10 units to master-planned.
Full-service management for communities across the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro, Minnesota, and financial-only plans for small associations that just need the books done right.

What do HOA management companies charge in Minnesota?
In the Twin Cities market, full-service association management is usually priced per unit per month — most proposals land between roughly $12 and $30 per unit, with monthly minimums (often $1,000 or more) for small communities. Financial-only management costs less; add-ons and startup fees vary widely and belong in writing.
How do you change HOA management companies?
To change management companies: check your current contract’s term and termination-notice window, pass a board vote, select the new firm, deliver written notice, and run a 60–90 day transition in which records, funds, keys and vendor relationships transfer. Done in order, owners should barely feel the switch.
What laws govern HOAs in Minnesota?
Most Minnesota HOAs, condominiums and townhome associations are governed by the Minnesota Common Interest Ownership Act (MCIOA, Minn. Stat. ch. 515B), alongside the association’s own declaration and bylaws and, for incorporated associations, the Minnesota Nonprofit Corporation Act (ch. 317A). MCIOA sets duties around meetings, budgets, replacement reserves, fines and resale disclosures.
Budget season is when boards switch. Start the conversation before yours closes.
A proposal takes us a week and costs you nothing. Tell us about your community and we’ll come back with a fee schedule where every line is stated, not discovered.
