The Tempe-based firm manages over 1,100 communities representing nearly 300,000 units, with operations spanning 12 states through 14 regional offices and employing more than 1,000 team members. This extensive reach demonstrates the scalability and reliability that has become essential for modern community governance, particularly as HOAs play increasingly critical roles in property values and resident quality of life.
Founded in 1990 by Laura Ziff, AAM was established to raise industry standards in HOA management, addressing a growing need for professional oversight in residential communities. The company provides comprehensive services tailored to diverse community types, including master-planned neighborhoods, single-family homes, condominiums, active adult communities, and urban high- and mid-rise properties. Beyond day-to-day management, AAM offers specialized consulting in accounting, marketing, and operational strategy to support long-term community success, ensuring that associations can navigate financial planning, regulatory compliance, and member engagement effectively.
Amanda Shaw, President of AAM, emphasized that this milestone reflects client trust and team dedication, noting that for 35 years, AAM has built lasting partnerships and evolved to meet changing community needs. Innovation remains central to their approach, with continuous investment in technology and employee development ensuring responsive and transparent HOA experiences.
