Shreyas and Allen grew up in the Bay Area and first became close friends during high school. As the years passed, Allen delved into the world of real estate, practicing it on the side, handling deals for close friends and family. So when Shreyas decided to take the leap into homeownership, it was only natural for him to turn to Allen to act as his agent. Together, they navigated the intricacies of purchasing Shreyas's first condo, an experience that unveiled glaring inefficiencies within the HOA system. This experience, combined with a subsequent $25,000 unexpected special assessment within weeks of moving in, became a catalyst for change.
In response, Shreyas and Allen embarked on a fact-finding mission, engaging with board presidents, HOA managers, law firms, and homeowners. Their in-depth research underpinned the development of Assembly, their answer to broken HOAs. With an emphasis on unparalleled transparency, accountability, and exceptional service, Assembly aims to transform the industry, returning agency back to homeowners.
And, as a nod to Shreyas' personal experience with his self-managed HOA, Assembly also offers a unique software-only solution for self-managed communities, equipping them with essential tools to operate effectively without the reliance on external managers.
Our mission at Assembly is to redefine the HOA landscape through radical transparency and outstanding service. We are dedicated to correcting the flaws in the current HOA system, ensuring it plays a vital role in safeguarding and enhancing property values rather than diminishing them.
Our difference lies at the intersection of technology and human ingenuity. We have developed an innovative software solution that provides our managers with the ability to automate time-consuming tasks, freeing them to focus on delivering premium service to homeowners. We are driving a fundamental shift away from the archetype of the overworked, inaccessible manager towards a model that values prompt, attentive service and clear communication.
Through Assembly, Shreyas and Allen have brought together their collective experience and passion for real estate, technology, and community to tackle the challenges that have long plagued homeowners associations. Their aim is to craft a solution that instills in every homeowner a profound sense of ownership and vested interest in their community.
