About
The nuances of community living are complex, our purpose is clear… simplifying residential community living.
Making Community
our Business
Making Community our Business
At Tribe, we see things differently. Our blended people and tech-forward strategy views community as a whole.
We work together with owners, residents, councils/boards, real estate developers and vendors to understand the complete community from pre-construction to post-occupancy, making community our business. Our technology-enabled services enhance the community living experience through their ability to connect, inform, educate and protect. These four pillars guide everything we do.
Connect
We are breaking down barriers and providing access to the information and people that are needed to support a thriving community.
Inform
We believe an informed community is a healthy community – one that is able to make decisions in the best interest of its individual members and the larger community.
Educate
Education is empowerment. It is that simple.
Residential community living is complex. If we can add value through education, we are all better for it.
Protect
Through tech-enabled service we can maintain and protect the value of not only your home, but your community.
We care.
