Essential Support Tailored to What You and Your Community Need – Without Overpaying for the Extras You Don’t
Essential Support Tailored to What You and Your Community Need – Without Overpaying for the Extras You Don’t
We understand that not every community requires the full spectrum of management services that generally come with an equally hefty price tag, and not every HOA has residents with the bandwidth to do it all themselves.
This is why we offer a hybridized third option! When you don’t need full-service management and don’t want full-scale self-management, Sunshine is here for you. We provide only the business services your Association needs to remain self-reliant.
Our model rests on the foundation of providing what you truly need: expert guidance, essential services, and strategic support tailored to your community’s needs, all while keeping your community’s independence and budget in mind. With Sunshine, you’re not just saving 30–50% over full-service management; you’re investing in a partnership that values efficiency, clarity, and the needs of your community.

We believe that innovative technology leads to greater efficiency. That’s why we invest heavily in keeping our systems current and cutting-edge. Our cloud-based management software system provides real-time access to your association’s data, allowing our team to immediately answer residents’ questions and provide solutions.
Your association will enjoy a free community web portal, which provides vital information to homeowners. Our homeowner portal allows residents to see their account information, make payments online, submit architectural applications, as well as review copies of the association’s financials, budget, and governing documents — at their convenience!
We partner with Bashor & Legendre, LLP, an accounting, tax, and consulting firm serving communities across Florida, that focuses on community association accounting. Our CPA-prepared monthly financial reports illuminate your community’s responsible stewardship, accurate record-keeping, and the transparent financial reporting that your residents expect.
The #1 homeowner complaint in this industry is not being able to get simple answers when they need them, whether from the Board or a management company. We heard that loud and clear!
When your residents call they can speak with an actual living, breathing person about billing inquiries, general community information, property emergencies, and so much more. We actually answer the phone…Promise!
Got questions? We’ve got answers! A licensed Florida community association manager is available to answer questions when you need guidance. Whether you need assistance regarding a landscape maintenance issue or information about requirements for a special assessment, we will lead you to the answers you need.
Unlike other management companies, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We know that every community has its own sweet spot. That’s why our services can be tailored to fit the unique needs of your association. You can select one of our pre-formatted plans or you may pick and choose à la carte the services you require.
It's sometimes difficult to find a volunteer who can take minutes and have them ready in time for the Board's next meeting. We'll make that task easy by providing a template for your minutes: you just have to jot down a few meeting notes and details, send the form back to us, and in return we will send you professional minutes for Board approval. We can also email the minutes to all Board members, post them on your website, and prepare the agenda for your next meeting, if requested!
Change is inevitable in a community association, but reliability is our middle name. Board members may come and go, but we will maintain consistency and trust for your community, your policies, processes, and actions as your Board evolves over time.
We’ll handle collections from the first invoice to the hard parts…
We’ll provide you a draft Collections Policy for review and approval, if you don’t already have one in place. We then work with you and follow your direction to make sure your assessments are collected in full.
We also partner with collections attorneys who do not charge the association until the final step, if that ever becomes necessary.
We partner with American Momentum Bank, a leading community association bank, making banking a breeze. Your resident’s assessment payments are sent directly to your association’s bank lockbox for deposit. Residents may use paper checks, e-checks, online bill pay, direct debit, or credit cards.
No more paper invoices from vendors! Our accounts payable software streamlines your processes with online payment automation that saves time and trees. You'll have the ability to review, code, and approve payments on a cloud-based platform that allows for 24/7 online access.

While traditional management companies might attend your meetings, it’s a task that substantially inflates costs. We instead leave those meetings in your capable hands. We're always available to support your Board's leadership; however, we do not attend meetings onsite or online.
We believe no one knows your community better than you do. We equip your Board with the tools to assess and address such community needs effectively. We will handle the administration and mailing of homeowner notices; we do not, however, perform inspections.
Your community’s relationships with vendors are vital. We support you maintaining direct contact and one-on-one interactions with your service providers to ensure that every engagement is aligned with your community’s unique needs, preferences, and standards. And while we may not work onsite with your vendors and contractors, we can handle the specifications, contracts, invoices, and payments!
We don’t normally go around tooting our own horn, but the facts speak for themselves. While our hybrid model is a brand-new concept in Association management, we’re not new to this business. Our parent company, Merit Management, is a full-service management firm based in the Tampa area, and renowned in the industry for over 25 years of experience and superior management of communities in Florida.
Not only are Sunshine’s managers licensed in the state of Florida, we all live right here in the Sunshine State. Why is that so important? Florida HOAs face unique “Florida-esque” challenges, from landscaping and ponds to alligators and hurricanes. Our managers are experienced in dealing with these unique day-to-day challenges.
You’ll rest easy knowing you’re partnering with the most experienced, trustworthy, and capable Association managers in the industry.
