Costa Mesa boards have enough on their calendars

Between work, family, and everything happening around the Triangle and the Westside, Costa Mesa volunteers are stretched. We take HOA management off that list for upward of 16,000 owners throughout Southern California.

Costa Mesa calls itself the City of the Arts, and it has a large association market spread from the Westside to the Eastside and around South Coast Plaza. Our portfolio here mixes older complexes and newer projects.

Our team often finds itself at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts or out on the trails at Fairview Park.

Why the name? Because a good manager should push a community upward. Think funded reserve accounts, courtyards and pools that invite people in, and tradespeople who return calls.

Costa Mesa, meet a different kind of manager

We set out to raise the bar for HOA management, guided by three ideas:

Moving over? Switching to Progressive is run by our own Transition team, not your volunteers.

Accountability is the whole idea behind the 7 Progressive Guarantees. Each missed promise trims your fees. Each manager mismatch gets corrected with a new assignment.

Sixty days' notice is all it takes to leave. That's a deliberate choice on our part.

    If you need a great association manager that exceeds expectations, ask for Stacy Serna. She is well-prepared for her meetings, responds in a timely manner and has great customer service.

    The manager for our property is Alyssa. She is very professional, always quick to return phone calls and emails, and is very proactive in getting needed quotes and repairs. She is a huge asset to Progressive.

    Our HOA has had the privilege of working with Neil Murphy. I cannot begin to explain how much Neil has gone above and beyond for our community. He puts in an excessive amount of hours and keeps his cool.

Where Progressive serves

Residential, commercial, and mixed-use associations under more than 269 boards are in our care around the Southland. A trip down Harbor Boulevard or over to South Coast Plaza probably passes one.

Surprise invoices erode trust fast.

That's why everything routine rolls into a single inclusive price. And the price itself is public, so your treasurer can model it before anyone schedules a call.

Sign once, budget easily from then on.

Your bill combines a 2% management fee (cheaper than the typical firm), the usual per-owner charges, and the accounting and meeting help your board opts into. Nothing tucked away.

Feed a few numbers into our Pricing page calculator for a rough figure. Then ask for a free quote and we'll firm it up in writing inside one business day.

7 Progressive Guarantees

Personal, not corporate

Costa Mesa has tiny condo associations and sprawling townhome communities. We manage both comfortably. Family ownership keeps us grounded: we have the depth a one-person manager can't offer and the warmth a national corporation rarely offers.

Managers who return calls

It sounds basic, but it depends on workload. We limit how many communities each manager carries, which is why ours actually get back to you.

Team

A few Costa Mesa associations already work with our managers.

Supervisors in the region provide a second set of eyes.

Our family-run headquarters supplies the legal and compliance depth, with career HOA staff tracking California and federal requirements.

Scott Brady, who founded the company and serves as CEO, gives every board his direct email.

Where Progressive came from

It started with Scott Brady, who entered Southern California real estate in 2012 and saw how much association management needed to change. He opened Progressive Association Management in 2020. Since then he's pushed lawmakers on reform, written the book on HOAs, and built tools that help boards keep their money safe.

Costa Mesa HOA board focus areas

Westside, Mesa Verde, and SoCo

The city's associations range from older condo complexes on the Westside to townhome communities in Mesa Verde and newer projects near SoCo.

Old buildings and new reserves

Older Westside complexes are dealing with aging plumbing and balconies. Newer communities have the opposite task: building steady reserve contributions from the very start.

The Newport-Inglewood fault and coastal air

Costa Mesa lies near the Newport-Inglewood fault, and buildings on the Westside feel the effects of coastal moisture on their exteriors. Both deserve a place in your insurance review.

Balconies and repipes

In Costa Mesa's older complexes, the most common large projects are repiping and the balcony repairs that SB 326 inspections uncover. Funding both ahead of time avoids assessments.

Arts, shopping, and the OC Fair

South Coast Plaza, the Segerstrom Center, and the OC Fair every summer make Costa Mesa a regional hub.

Our property manager, Neil Murphy, is very responsive to questions/concerns that arise from residents in our HOA. When I could not get much help from accounting for a billing issue, he followed up to make sure it was addressed. Moreover, he is diligent in communicating with vendors regarding bids and projects.
