About RealManage

RealManage operating history goes back more than 30 years. The brand and vision we serve today were initially conceived in 2002 and launched in 2004 with our initial acquisition of a highly successful property management company in Austin, Texas. Since then, we have grown rapidly through other select acquisitions and organic growth to rank as one of the nation's top three HOA and condominium management companies. The company specializes in managing homeowner associations, master-planned communities, luxury, and high-rise condominium associations.

In 2015, we launched our specialty luxury lifestyle division called GrandManors. GrandManors provides white-glove service to those communities with extensive amenities and is lifestyle-orientated with multiple on-site staff.
