# Royalty Group Homes

> Royalty Group Homes is operating software for independent living, sober living and shared housing operators. It tracks every bed (occupied, being turned, or empty), resident move-ins and move-outs, rent charges and payments to the cent, inquiries, referral partners, and published vacancies. One house is free with every feature, no card and no time limit; two or three houses are $99/month, and four or more are $199/month for unlimited houses, beds and residents.

Built by Royalty Group LLC, which runs independent living homes in Oceanside, California (San Diego County). Founder: Joseph Surgeon.

## Key facts

- Who it is not for: licensed clinical facilities with 50+ beds, or any home whose residents' care must be documented; it is not a medical record.
- Who it is for: owners and managers of independent living homes, sober living homes, senior shared housing and small licensed adult residential facilities in the United States.
- Pricing: free for one house, forever, every feature, no credit card. $99/month for two or three houses; $199/month for four or more (unlimited houses, beds, residents). Annual: $1,089 or $2,189 per year (one month free). 30-day money-back guarantee.
- Features: bed board, residents, rent and ledger, inquiries pipeline, referral partners, published vacancies, reports (collections, aging, vacancy cost), team roles (manager, bookkeeper, read-only), CSV export.
- Safeguards: financial history is append-only (corrections are signed entries, originals stay visible); AI drafts outreach but nothing is sent until a named person approves it; applicants are never scored or ranked; records stay readable and exportable in every billing state.
- It is not an accounting system; books stay in the operator's accounting software.
- Mobile: read-only companion app for Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.royaltygrouphomes.mobile); iOS coming soon.
