Why your board might try Blocbear

    Blocbear is a simple sidekick for self-managed HOAs — built by a volunteer board treasurer who got tired of spreadsheets, envelopes, and “who hasn't paid yet?” emails. This page is meant to be shared or printed for a quick board conversation.

    I spent five years as treasurer of a 46-home HOA in Ijamsville, MD. On day one I was handed two cardboard boxes — fifteen years of dues records and budgets, none of it digital. I built Blocbear so the next volunteer doesn’t start from scratch.

    What you get out of the box

    • One calm ledger for checks, Zelle, and ACH — with reminders and late fees that run themselves.
    • Meeting polls, exterior requests, courtesy notices, and neighborhood announcements — without the email-thread chaos.
    • Stop digging for PDFs. When an agent texts you for bylaws during a closing, just share your secure link. They request, you approve, and the system handles the secure download.

    What usually convinces a board

    No board vote required

    One board member can sign up in minutes. No committee meetings, no vendor RFP, no months of debate. Link your HOA bank account and you're live.

    A true team effort

    Invite fellow board members with a single link. Everyone sees the same dashboard — dues, residents, requests — and can coordinate in Board Room or 1:1 without another email chain.

    Neighbors join in one click

    Invited residents claim their home from a secure email link — verified instantly. Boards can keep custom home details on each address and choose who sees them. If they want to pay online, they can link through Plaid and turn on Auto Pay. Checks still work. No portal passwords, no apps to download.

    One price for the whole neighborhood

    No per-home fees. No setup invoice. Cancel from settings whenever you want.
