Most management companies
don't call back.
We guarantee it — in writing.
Your community's guiding light.
Faro is the responsive, transparent management firm built exclusively for Oakland County's detached-condo and HOA communities. Published fees. SLA-backed response times. Real-time board portal.
Built to fix what boards hate
about management companies
The three complaints boards raise about every other firm — we turned each one into a contractual promise.
Responsiveness you can hold us to
The #1 reason boards fire their manager: unreturned calls and emails. We publish our response-time guarantee in the contract — and credit your fee if we miss it. Not a promise. A credit.
Money you can see — all of it
Real-time financials and reserves in your board portal. One published fee schedule, handed to you before you sign. No per-letter charges, no copy fees, no vague "administrative" add-ons.
Built for your kind of community
We work exclusively with detached and site-condo associations. We know the Michigan Condominium Act, the snow-and-stormwater realities, and the developer-transition moment — because it's all we do.
The Faro Service Guarantee
Most firms promise "great service." We put a number on it — and stand behind it with your money.
Miss our SLA? You get a fee credit. It's in your contract.
What we handle — so your board doesn't have to
Full-service management tuned for detached-condo communities: governance, finances, communication, and compliance.
Financials & collections
AP/AR, dues collection, delinquency workflows, monthly statements, budgets, and reserve tracking — visible to your board in real time, anytime.
Board & meeting support
Prepared packets, meeting management, drafted minutes, and an AI board advisor for governing-document questions and budget explanations.
Resident requests, 24/7
AI-assisted intake any hour of the day, routed to the right person with SLA tracking — so nothing falls through the cracks.
Violations & architectural review
Consistent, documented, fair enforcement and ARC processing. No more "they got away with it and I didn't" — every case on record.
Vendor coordination
A vetted, insured, scored vendor panel — landscaping, snow removal, roads, stormwater — with competitive bids and annual accountability scorecards.
Documents & e-signature
Secure document storage with role-based access, version control, and built-in e-signature for board approvals — no third-party account required.
We only do detached & site condos.
That's the whole point.
In Michigan, a "site condo" is a detached single-family home that's legally a condominium — common throughout Oakland County because of the state's Land Division Act. These communities are simpler than high-rises but just as legally formal. Most management firms treat them as an afterthought between apartment buildings and mixed-use towers.
We built Faro around them: the right scope, the right pricing, and deep fluency in the Michigan Condominium Act, declaration interpretation, and developer-transition mechanics. When a developer hands over control to the board — the most important governance moment in your association's life — you want a firm that has done it dozens of times, not one that's learning on your dime.
Our focus on Oakland County isn't a limitation. It's the reason we can guarantee response times, maintain vendor relationships, and know the local attorneys, CPAs, and reserve-study firms your community needs.

From the boards we serve
Charter communities share their experience. (Placeholder — replace with quotes from your first associations.)
After years of waiting two weeks for a callback from our old manager, having a guaranteed response time in our contract felt almost too good to be true. It wasn't.
The published fee schedule was the first thing that convinced us. We pulled our old invoices and found four fees that weren't on our contract. Faro has zero of those.
We transitioned from developer control and Faro had our finances set up, our portal running, and our first board meeting packet ready in under 30 days. Exactly what we needed.
