Associa, a national condominium and homeowner association company has acquired Hawaii First, the state’s third-largest association management firm.

Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.

“Our community associations will continue to work with our local management team, now backed with Associa’s national resources, including educational programs, emerging technologies and professional training,” said Richard Emery, Hawaii First president.

Honolulu-based Hawaii First’s 35 employees will remain with the company, which will continue to operate under the same name and manage 135 community associations, including Wailana at Waikiki and 909 Kapiolani. 

Associa, a Dallas-based company, also owns Certified Management Inc., which manages more than 400 properties statewide.
