Your Trusted Local Partner for HOA & Condominium Community Growth

Our Vision

The trusted, first-choice partner for HOA and Condominium community Boards across our footprint - reliable, responsive, and present in the communities we serve.

Scaled for Reliability

Our combined purchasing power and deep vendor bench deliver better pricing, faster coverage, and true back-up when gaps appear.

Balanced and Purpose-Built Tools

Practical automation that streamlines budgets, payments, and communications - no overly-complicated dashboards, and always a live person when you need.

The Regional Standard

How We Work

Founder-Led & Local

Unlike national private equity roll-ups, we live in the market we serve. You get decision-makers at the table, faster answers, and owners who show up at Board meetings - not distant fund managers.

Keep the Team, Grow the Team

We retain local staff, add capacity where it’s thin, and create real advancement paths (lead manager, on-site to regional, cross-training) to reduce turnover and protect relationships.

Hyper Regional Focus

We build depth in one geography at a time, so Boards see familiar faces, response times improve, and vendor coordination gets easier.

Our Approach

Who We Partner With

• Reputation first. Established practices known locally for personalized service, responsiveness and clean financials.

• Sticky relationships. Longstanding customer relationships and potential for affordable growth and expansion

• Service-led culture. Managers who answer, follow through, and document

Deal Structure

• Becoming a part of something bigger. We look for association management owners who want to take a step back from daily operations but who are excited to participate economically alongside a team of operators who have historically achieved an average 6.5x return.

• Flexible and specific deal structures. We tailor terms to your goals, and we can accommodate more flexible deal structures than any other growth partner.

Who We Are

Ours is a team of top-performing small business CEOs with deep expertise in community management. Our team of entrepreneurs are full-time focused on building a best-in-class regional HOA and Condominium Community Management company.

I am the granddaughter of immigrants from Greece and Syria, and scrappiness, grit, and resilience are in my blood. Growing up in my own family business, dinner table conversations often revolved around the dental practice I grew up in. I started working in the dental practice at age 10 licking stamps, eventually graduating to working the front office.

Over the last seven years I have advised 40+ founder/CEOs through M&A transactions, including my own family’s.

I earned an MBA from Stanford Business School, which inspired me to co-found Ionian Pine Partners with one clear goal: to apply my business expertise to companies ready for the next phase, grounded in the values I learned from my family's entrepreneurialism.

Korey Mui, CFA

Managing Partner

I am the son of Cantonese parents who immigrated to the US with little money or English skills and achieved the American Dream. They taught me about the importance of legacy; I view my success as a continuation of theirs.

I started my career at the world's largest investment firm, learning what it took to be a great investor and how capital can generate meaningful impact, not just more financial success. My shift in focus to small businesses was natural. I knew how a small restaurant business changed the trajectory of my family's life and wanted to apply my institutional knowledge to scale that kind of change.

I earned an MBA from Stanford Business School, which equipped me with the right people and skills to co-found Ionian Pine Partners. I recognize the importance of the "we" behind every "I".
