Homeowners Associations Love Or Hate Them

Reblogger
Real Estate Agent with Albuquerque Homes Realty 16572

Texas REALTOR, blogger and friend Gary Woltal shares a thought provoking post on the pros and cons of living in an HOA neighborhood.  I am the serving my 2nd term on our HOA Board and I'm here to say it's a lot of hard work and stress but worth it to keep everyone on the same playing field, homes and landscape looking great and keeping home values up.

HOA FunI must admit other than talking to the Board Members within a Homeowners Association I can't think of many residents that LIKE them. I think people LIKE the idea of an HOA protecting their property values, but the details of the HOA bothering them with the blades of their grass one inch too high, your trash cans left out an extra day, your paint fading a little bit, well they just become annoying.

Often I think ALL neighborhoods should scrap HOAs but I know it would bring back the 18 wheeler parked for two months across the street and the picnic tables in the front yard.

Probably too, the junk heap car with no wheels next door.

They can have the power to foreclose, so not to be taken lightly.

YOUR thoughts on HOAs where you live? If you do move where they are, check out their rules closely. Some don't even allow satellite dish antennas.

Well John, it's a thankless job, and sometimes it gets to where no one wants to be part of a board. But, I also have to say that we have met with some who really shouldn't be on these boards..

I have been living in one for the last 6 years and have served on the board and committees, it is a lot of work. Ours is a nice place and the board takes the gentle approach first. So far that has worked.
