Understanding the Verified Firm Badge
Our Verified Firm badge means a listing matches an active community association management license in the state, which is especially important in Florida.
Currently, 1,161 listings are matched to 2,054 active Florida licenses in our system. This badge helps boards know that a firm is legitimately licensed and actively working within state guidelines.
If your association requires licensed management, look for this badge as a first step. Remember, licensing requirements vary by state, so always confirm local rules with your association attorney.

Confirm licensing and regulatory compliance with your association attorney.
Use ratings and the Verified Firm badge as helpful tools but consider the full picture: pricing, services offered, staff responsiveness, and fit for your community.
The market evolves quickly. Check back regularly to catch new listings and updated ratings.
