HOA management company under new ownership

The founder of HOA Management Specialists LLC has sold the business to a partnership group that includes her daughter and son-in-law.

The company, which manages homeowner and property owner associations, was purchased Jan. 1 by business partners Clint and Jenna Toedtmann and Trey and Rachel Watson. Jenna is the daughter and Clint is the son-in-law of HOAMS founder Jean Harmison, who also operates association management company Club Management Services LLC.

"We are deeply honored and filled with gratitude for the chance to continue nurturing and developing HOA Management Specialists that Jean Harmison founded over 20 years ago in her basement as an extension of her Club Management Services business," Rachel Watson said via email. "In our role as the new owners, we are dedicated to respecting and enhancing her legacy, aiming to establish HOAMS as a top choice for every homeowner's association, developer and builder."

HOAMS manages 23 communities, with another five in the works, said Watson, who also is in real estate via Keller Williams Greater Springfield. She declined to disclose the financial terms of the HOAMS acquisition.

The new owners say HOAMS will remain at 4730 S. National Ave., where Club Management Services also operates. Jenna Toedtmann has worked at HOAMS since 2019 as an account manager, according to her LinkedIn profile.

"Jean's exceptional leadership has been an inspirational beacon, and as we maintain operations from the same office, we are fortunate to continue benefiting from her wisdom," Watson said.
