About Us
HBS Community Management was founded by Howard and Barbara Schmitter with the vision of providing exceptional service and a focus on providing services that have the best interests of the community at heart.
This approach proved to be incredibly popular, as HBS has continually grown by leaps and bounds over the last 10 years. What started as a small organization quickly became a thriving business employing a wide variety of roles from the professional office staff to maintenance professionals that serve our communities.
HBS is a locally owned and family-operated Tucson company that serves a wide variety of luxury property management services from community management to home services in the surrounding areas of Tucson Foothills, Oro Valley, Marana, and Greater Tucson.
