Northern California Association Management
SLPM Association Management Services has served the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond for over 35 years. We handle the finances, maintenance, compliance, and daily operations so your board can focus on what actually matters -- building a better community.
Running your association shouldn't be a second job.
If you're a board member spending nights reviewing vendor bids, chasing delinquent accounts, and fielding resident complaints, you already know: self-managing an association burns people out. And when board members burn out, deferred maintenance piles up, financial reporting falls behind, and the community pays the price.
SLPM Association Management takes the operational weight off your board. We bring 35 years of specialized East Bay experience, a departmentalized team for every function, and full Davis-Stirling compliance built into everything we do. Your board stays in control of strategy. We handle the rest.

Our established relationships with reliable East Bay vendors, combined with the buying power of managing multiple associations, consistently deliver strong value on maintenance and capital projects.
SLPM provides 24/7 emergency support for all managed communities. Residents and board members can report emergencies at any time through our dedicated emergency line. Our team coordinates immediate response with qualified vendors, so urgent issues like water leaks, fire damage, or security incidents are addressed without waiting for business hours.

Most transitions complete in 30 to 60 days with zero disruption to residents. Your board stays fully informed throughout the process.
