The Challenge
Desert Vista launched in 2020 with a bold vision: HOAs don’t have to be a four-letter word. From day one, co-founders Michael and Laura LaPointe knew they needed enterprise-grade technology to compete with national firms while keeping their company lean and client-focused. With Vantaca as their foundation, Desert Vista has scaled from zero to nearly 6,000 doors in just three years — all while building a culture of quality, trust, and retention.
Key Challenges Included:
- Competing with national players from day one
- The need to scale fast without 1:1 headcount increases
- Freeing managers from admin work to focus on boards and homeowners
- Building positive homeowner experiences that go beyond industry norms
The Results:
- Startup to Scale: From zero to 6,000 doors with a lean team of seven
- Efficient Operations: Invoice processing time cut by 60% in the last year
- Healthier Cash Flow: Collections resolution improved by 30% in the last year
- Stronger Transparency: 100% of financials delivered on time, every period
- Seamless Payments: Nearly $1M in homeowner assessments processed in a single month via Vantaca Pay, generating new revenue
- Differentiated Service: Workflows like Architectural Completion Assurance and Beautiful Property Notices delight boards and homeowners
“Our vision is to make every community the best version of itself. Vantaca gives us the tools to deliver on that promise — efficiently, transparently, and at scale.”
Michael LaPoint CEO, Desert Vista Community Management
