No. 05— A day with KindHOA

Tuesday, 8:14 PM. Your phone hums, gently.

Mrs. Henderson on Maple Street has paid her quarterly dues. KindHOA logs it in the books, sends her a receipt, and tucks the deposit into Friday’s reconciliation queue.

The Marchetti family has submitted a home change request for a new fence. Photos attached, neighbors notified, the board sees it on their dashboard before they set the table for dinner.

A formal election for the open board seat closes at midnight. Ballots are sealed, votes counted, and the PDF certificate ready for the secretary — included on Good Neighbor.

And you? You’re still on the porch, sweet tea in hand, watching the fireflies come out.

A walk through the week
A craftsman bungalow porch at golden hour with a swinging bench, wisteria, and two iced-tea glasses on a side table — a quiet evening in the neighborhood.
Plate I — “Maple Street, Tuesday evening.”
No. 06— Built for boards

Most HOA software was built for property managers, then awkwardly handed down to volunteer boards.

KindHOA was designed from day one for the people who actually run the community — neighbors, balancing this in the margins of regular life.

No. 07— Pricing

Two plans.
Clear published pricing.

Premium ops for volunteer boards — whether you have ten homes or ten thousand, the published price stays flat. We’d rather earn the upgrade.

No. 08— Why boards choose KindHOA
Neighbors gathered at dusk around a wooden folding table on the edge of a cul-de-sac, with string lights, a pitcher of lemonade, and a labrador resting in the grass.

Formal elections on Good Neighbor

Director races, amendments, sealed ballots, and PDF certificates — on Good Neighbor, not a paid add-on.

No per-unit software fee

Whether you have 20 homes or 200, KindHOA stays $0 or $29 per month — not hundreds scaled by units.

15-minute setup

Invite residents, connect Stripe when you're ready, and publish your community website the same afternoon.

Upgrade when automation pays off

Board Automation adds recurring dues, late fees, email broadcasts, and AI — often saving more in platform fees than the $29 subscription.
