Sound Familiar?

The challenges holding back your portfolio's documentation

Liability

Incomplete Minutes Put Your Firm at Risk

When an owner or member challenges a board decision, the minutes are the first thing an attorney subpoenas. If the record is incomplete across any community in your portfolio, your firm is exposed.

2-4 hrs

Per Meeting, Per Manager, Per Community

Multiply that across your portfolio. Your managers are spending their best hours on documentation instead of managing relationships and solving problems.

Late

Late Minutes Are the First Sign a Board Loses Confidence

When boards wait a week for minutes, they start wondering what else is falling through the cracks. That's how you lose a contract.

Why Management Companies Choose Us

Consistent Formatting — Every community gets the same parliamentary-format minutes — motions, seconds, votes, and action items. No more quality variation between managers.

Free Up Your Managers — Give your community managers 2-4 hours back per meeting. That's time they can spend on higher-value work — resident relations, vendor oversight, compliance.

Volume Pricing — Discounted rates that make sense for portfolios of any size. Monthly invoicing, dedicated account support, and priority scheduling.

The Portfolio Math

A community manager earning $55,000/year costs roughly $28/hour fully loaded.

If they spend 3 hours per meeting on minutes across 10 communities, that's 30 hours/month — or $840/month in labor just on documentation.

FirstMotion covers all 10 meetings for a fraction of that cost, with better quality, faster delivery, and zero manager burnout.

The question isn't whether you can afford professional minutes. It's whether you can afford not to have them.

Common Questions From Management Companies

Can you handle our meeting volume?

Yes. We work with firms managing anywhere from 5 to 50+ properties or associations — HOAs, condos, timeshares, co-ops, or a mixed portfolio. Our process scales — one meeting or thirty, same quality, same turnaround.

How do you handle different board preferences?

We follow a standard parliamentary format that works for every board. If a specific community has formatting preferences, we accommodate them at no extra charge.

What about confidential executive sessions?

We note that an executive session occurred and its general topic, but we do not document the discussion. All meeting data is encrypted and deleted within 7 days. Learn about our security practices.

Do we need a long-term contract?

No contracts required. Volume pricing is based on meeting count, not commitment length. Use us for one community or your entire portfolio — scale up or down anytime.
