Havn vs Perfect HOA

Perfect HOA has grown into a full front office: fund accounting, a mail room, an SMS inbox, amenity booking, and committee votes on requests. Havn matches that ground and goes further where the law and the closing table come in: resale documents drafted per state, a violation ladder built from the statute, votes weighted with proxies and paper ballots, lower fees on every payment, and recorded calls.
