New platform gives homeowners verified transparency while providing boards, real-estate professionals and insurers with standardized trust data.

PHOENIX, Dec. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- HOA Doctor® today announced its national launch, introducing the country's first Verified Ratings & Reviews™ platform for homeowners associations (HOAs), condominium associations (COAs) and community development districts (CDDs). The system gives homeowners a secure, anonymous way to share real experiences, creating the verified data that powers the Community Trust Index™ (CTI™), the nation's first standardized benchmark for governance trust and transparency.

HOA Doctor sets out to build trust and transparency.

For decades, homeowners have voiced frustration about limited visibility into association operations. HOA Doctor® aims to change that by converting verified homeowner experiences into structured governance-performance data. The platform, built for transparency across the U.S. HOA/COA/CDD housing market, connects homeowners, boards, management companies, real-estate professionals, lenders and insurers through verified insights.

As the first platform of its kind, HOA Doctor® authenticates each submission through Level-4 Multi-Layer Verification™, which includes deed-level property validation, token-based identity confirmation, bot screening, email verification and manual audit. These verified ratings feed directly into the Community Trust Index, which produces each community's 1–5 CTI score.

Pre-launch testing in Phoenix generated more than 1,000 verified homeowner sign-ups and several thousand responses on Reddit and Nextdoor, signaling strong demand for trusted, data-driven accountability. Following the successful pilot, HOA Doctor® is expanding nationwide.

What CTI™ Measures

The Community Trust Index organizes verified homeowner feedback into five measurable pillars:

Governance Integrity: accountability and board responsiveness
Financial Stewardship: fiscal discipline, reserve management and dues transparency
Maintenance Reliability: upkeep of common areas and responsiveness to repairs
Communication & Engagement: clarity, timeliness and inclusiveness
Emotional Trust: how safe, respected and fairly treated homeowners feel

Combined, these pillars produce a single verified trust score used to support real-estate decision-making, buyer protection, insurance modeling, lender assessments, and public reporting.

How Verification and Scoring Work

Each community's CTI score combines two equally weighted verified ratings: one for the board and one for the property management company. Homeowners may also submit open-ended comments, giving boards and management companies additional insight into performance and community sentiment.

Industry Response

"Buyers can spend thousands before discovering governance problems that derail a purchase," said Pamela Manwaring, an Arizona Realtor with Real Broker. "HOADoctor.com delivers verified data upfront — giving buyers the clarity they need to protect their investment."

"This platform finally delivers what advocacy and legislation could not — verified insight into how communities are managed," said Dennis Legere, founder of the Arizona Homeowners Coalition.

Boards and management companies can now see how their decisions influence verified homeowner trust, turning feedback into data that can improve service, protect property values and strengthen accountability.
