Who can use the platform

The platform is designed for two groups.

Property managers and community boards#

You can use BidMyCommunity if you're responsible for hiring contractors at:

• HOAs and homeowners associations
• Condominium associations
• Co-ops
• Multifamily apartment buildings
• Mixed-use developments
• Master-planned communities

That includes:

• Professional community association managers (CAMs)
• Self-managed HOA board members
• Property managers at apartment buildings
• Real estate companies managing community portfolios
• Developers managing newly-built communities

If you make hiring decisions for community-level work — you're the target user.

Contractors#

You can join as a contractor if you:

• Operate a licensed business in your state (where licensing is required for your trade)
• Carry general liability insurance and workers' comp where required
• Do work that property managers hire — roofing, painting, landscaping, paving, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, pest control, pool service, security, janitorial, and many others

We're not the right fit for:

• Unlicensed individual handymen (state requirements vary, but most of our managers require licensing)
• Manufacturers, suppliers, or distributors (you sell products, not services)
• Single-family residential focus only (our managers manage communities, not houses)

Geographic coverage#

We're active across the United States. The platform works wherever there are community associations and licensed contractors — which is everywhere.
