Common Area builds tools for community association boards, property managers, and the real estate agents who work alongside them. The unglamorous back-office work that runs the country's 370,000 HOAs — done well, finally.
The HOA management platform for gated and resort communities. Guest passes, RFID vehicle decals, property transfer workflows, assessments, violations, resident communications — built for self-managed boards and the management companies that serve them.
gatekeeperhoa.com →A voice-first AI assistant for real estate agents. Hans scans emails, monitors calendars, tracks deals, and generates documents — all the back-office work that agents normally do at 11pm. Currently in App Store review.
askhans.ai →A broader suite of HOA-adjacent products is in active development — covering amenity access, board governance, vendor management, insurance procurement, assessment collection, and CC&R compliance. We'll announce each one as it's ready.
Common Area LLC is a Delaware-formed software company headquartered on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. We're building the underlying intelligence layer for community associations — the property and governance data that makes the rest of the platform meaningfully better than what's currently available.
Common Area LLC was founded by and is led by Douglas Calahan, Founder & Chief Executive Officer.
