Property Management

Minutes, contracts and approvals signed without chasing residents door to door: everyone signs from a link, on their phone. For property managers and HOAs that run dozens of communities.

The documents of community management

From the board meeting to the renovation: what property managers sign the most.

Meeting minutes

The board voted, even remotely? Chair and secretary sign the minutes without waiting for the next site visit.

Vendor contracts

Security, cleaning, maintenance, landscaping: every service contracted in writing, with adjustments and renewals formalized.

Management agreements

The manager-association relationship signed with clear scope, fees and responsibilities.

Renovation approvals

Unit renovations documented: the responsibility terms signed before the first hammer swing.

Payment plans

Past-due assessments become a signed plan, with amounts and dates formally accepted by the resident.

Notices and acknowledgments

New rules, construction notices, policy changes: every resident's acknowledgment on record.

Common-area agreements

Party room, amenities, move-ins: reservations with rules accepted and signed, no argument later.

Meeting proxies

Residents who can't attend grant their proxy in writing, no notary required, unless the association's bylaws call for that formality.

From approved agenda to filed document

How a property manager typically runs it inside Signater, in four steps.

  1. The document starts from the manager's template

    Minutes, contract or terms come out standardized, with the community's details in typed fields.

  2. Each signer gets their own link

    Board, vendor or resident: the invitation arrives by email or text, ready to sign from anywhere.

  3. Nobody drives to the office

    Everyone validates their identity and signs in their phone's browser. No printing, no courier, no notary.

  4. The community files its own evidence

    Completed envelopes become certified files in the right community's vault, with the full trail of who signed.

Signed by the actual resident

Identity factors configured per signer. Every recorded validation enters the envelope's certificate of completion as evidence.

Email code

A 6-digit code lands in the resident's registered email and is required at signing time.

SMS code

The confirmation code arrives by text message on the resident's phone, ready to validate in seconds.

Selfie with liveness check

For proxies and payment agreements, the signer confirms their identity with a selfie and liveness check.

The eight available factors, from selfie with liveness detection to certificate-based signing, are on the Identity validation page

Built to integrate

Your management system triggers minutes and agreements through the API; every completion comes back by webhook to the right community's file.

Frequently asked questions

Is an electronically signed community association document legally valid?

Yes. Electronic signature laws such as the U.S. ESIGN Act and UETA make electronic signatures legally binding, and the EU's eIDAS regulation recognizes them across Europe. Signater produces an advanced electronic signature based on a digital certificate, in the PAdES standard, and the certificate of completion gathers the evidence of who signed, when, from where and with which validations.

Can board meeting minutes be signed electronically?

Yes: the chair and secretary sign the minutes electronically, including for virtual meetings, where the association's bylaws allow them. If the community needs to record the minutes with a local registry, the same rules that apply to paper apply to the electronic version.

How do I formalize an agreement with a past-due resident?

The payment plan becomes an envelope with identity validation: the resident signs from wherever they are and the certificate of completion keeps the evidence. Automatic reminders chase the pending signature.

Can I organize dozens of communities in the same account?

Yes: one vault per community, with control over who accesses what. Every envelope is born in the right vault and search finds any document by name, identifier or email.

How many communities fit in one account?

There's no limit on vaults or users: the management company sets up one vault per community and controls who accesses what. What the plans limit is envelope volume; the pricing page shows the tiers.

Does this hold up in a legal dispute?

The certificate of completion gathers who signed, when, with which validations, the hash of each document and the timestamp. It's the evidentiary record you present; the assessment is always up to the court, but you don't show up empty-handed.

Does the resident need to create an account or install an app?

No. The resident receives the invitation by email or SMS, opens the document in the browser and signs after validating their identity with the factors you configured. No app, no sign-up and no digital certificate required.
