Community First Property Management - Alameda

Community First Property Management (C1PM) is a Bay Area-based HOA management firm built on a straightforward premise: your community's priorities drive everything. Headquartered in San Jose and serving communities across the Bay Area and Central Coast, C1PM brings over 120 years of collective HOA and operations leadership, without the corporate overhead that slows most management companies down. As a proudly independent firm, there's no bureaucracy between your Board and the people actually managing your community. Just clear, competent service backed by deep local knowledge.

What separates C1PM from the field is the intentional decision to stay independent and flexible. There are no rigid service packages, no upsells baked into the contract, and no one-size-fits-all playbook. Whether a community needs full-service management or management-only support, the plan is built around the Board's goals and the property's unique identity, not the other way around. C1PM listens first, then builds the right structure around what each community actually needs.

We provide technology that adds value: homeowner portals, real-time account access, online payments, broadcast alerts, and much more. C1PM works with each Board to implement the right tools for their community. From proactive community transitions to day-to-day operations and long-term financial planning, C1PM operates as a true partner to meet and exceed the goals of our Associations. 

C1PM is a proud member of CAI and ECHO, locally rooted, and accountable to every community we serve.
