Vasquez brings over ten years of experience in HOA management, finance, and customer service to the position, with expertise in asset management, resource planning, data analytics, and vendor oversight. His appointment signals AAM's commitment to expanding its Arizona presence while strengthening relationships with community boards.
In his new role, Vasquez will lead AAM's sales initiatives and champion the company's value to prospective communities throughout Arizona. He will focus on ensuring both current and future associations benefit from AAM's industry-leading expertise, exceptional service, and tailored support. "Alex brings a wealth of industry knowledge and a proven ability to build strong, enduring partnerships with Boards and communities," said Amanda Shaw, AAM President. "His expertise, coupled with his focus on helping communities understand and experience the value AAM delivers, makes him a tremendous asset to our Arizona team and a key driver of our continued growth in the market."
Vasquez's background includes previous roles as Senior Mortgage Banker at VIP Mortgage in Scottsdale, where he guided homeowners through financing solutions; Graduate Research Assistant at Harvard University, supporting real estate research and data analysis; and Contractor Relations Assistant Manager at First American Financial Corp., overseeing vendor procurement and contract negotiations. This diverse experience provides him with unique insights into both the financial and operational aspects of community management.
"I'm honored to join AAM and excited to contribute to the company's growth and client-first culture," said Vasquez. "AAM has built an exceptional reputation in Arizona by combining strong operational excellence with genuine care for the communities it serves. I look forward to working with our teams and Boards to continue elevating the client experience."

He obtained his CAAM designation through the Arizona Association of Community Managers (AACM) and was honored as Manager of the Year in 2015 for his leadership and commitment to excellence in community management.
This appointment matters because community associations represent a significant portion of Arizona's housing market, with proper management directly impacting property values, resident satisfaction, and community stability. Vasquez's hiring reflects the growing importance of professional management services as communities face increasingly complex financial, regulatory, and operational challenges. For Arizona homeowners, this means potentially improved management services and stronger community governance as AAM expands its expertise across the state. The industry implications include increased competition for talent and services in the community management sector, potentially raising standards throughout Arizona.
