    The Problem

    Property management is broken.

    Traditional building management is opaque, expensive, and conflict-ridden. Boards pay hundreds of thousands in annual fees for slow response times, hidden vendor relationships, and zero financial visibility.

    Crushing Fees

    Management firms charge 8–12% of gross building income. Mid-size NYC buildings lose $120,000–$250,000+ annually to fees, markups, and vendor kickbacks.

    Zero Transparency

    Residents have no real-time visibility into finances, vendor spending, or how decisions are made — and no way to hold anyone accountable.

    Compliance Risk

    NYC Local Law 97, DOB violations, and missed inspection deadlines expose boards to significant fines when management firms drop the ball.

    The Platform

    One system. Complete control.

    Admin Command Center

    A full-featured board dashboard for maintenance, payroll, vendor management, governance voting, and financial oversight — all in one place.

    Resident Mobile Hub

    A clean, native-feel app for shareholders and residents to submit requests, track finances, vote on motions, and manage their unit — from any device.

    Reverse-Auction Vendor Marketplace

    Blind competitive bidding eliminates kickbacks and inflated invoices, typically compressing repair costs by 20–30%.

    Digital Governance

    Board motions, proxy voting, meeting minutes, and quorum tracking — all cryptographically logged and legally defensible.

    Why Housing Governance Matters

    The Hidden Tax on Every Co-op and Condo Owner.

    New York City has over 300,000 co-op and condo units — and most are managed by a handful of firms that charge between 8 and 12% of gross income for work that software now handles in seconds. That's $120,000–$250,000 per year for a mid-size building. That money comes directly out of the pockets of the residents who live there — many of them middle-class families who sacrificed to own their home.

    Putting Millions Back in Residents' Pockets

    A 100-unit building saving $150,000/year in management fees is $1,500 per shareholder, per year — money that stays in the community rather than flowing to management firm shareholders.

    Democratic Governance, Actually Working

    Most co-op and condo boards meet once a year and communicate by email. Sovereign makes governance continuous, documented, and participatory — the way cooperative ownership is supposed to work.

    Compliance as Protection, Not Overhead

    NYC's Local Law 97, DOB inspections, and building code requirements are not optional. When a management firm misses a deadline, the board members are personally liable. Sovereign turns compliance from a risk into a routine.

    Self-Managed Buildings as the New Normal

    Sovereign's vision is a New York City — and every major US city — where co-ops and condos routinely self-manage at a fraction of the traditional cost, with more transparency, better compliance, and stronger community governance. The management firm model hasn't changed in decades. Technology has. Sovereign is the bridge.
