I want You to Meet My New Best Friend, Jill Schweitzer, HOA Reformer

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty ONE Group Mountain Desert DRE #SA554748000

Welcome to ActiveRain, Jill Schweitzer! I can't think of a better place for you to spread your message and to bring about the needed changes to the laws governing Home Owner Associations (HOAs).

Attention, Ambassadors:  Please help spread the word and encourage Jill as she brings her message to Active Rain and educates us on the important issue of HOA Abuse. Notice that you can re-blog

We ALL need to know more about Home Owner Associations (HOAs) and how they misbehave.

As REALTORS®, we have a responsibility to educate ourselves so we can educate our Clients on this very important aspect of buying and selling.

I believe the abuse by HOAs is a problem that permeates our entire industry.

I know of no one else other than Jill Schweitzer who has such deep passion and thorough background on this issue.

Jill will be teaching a "lunch and learn" session for the SouthEast Valley Regional Association of REALTORS® Please contact Jill for details. Perhaps Jill will share her power point material here on Active Rain.

Jill and I have discussed the "unholy alliance" between the HOAs, the HOA boards and HOA Management Companies and their LAWYERS.

After all, most Lawyers that do work with HOAs work ONLY with the HOA side in any conflict.

Did you know that HOAs are unregulated bodies. We need to hold the HOAs accountable.

Please take time to meet Jill Schweitzer  and take the time to follow her and her posts.

Please take a look at Jill's website at http://www.HOASavers.com 

Attention, Ambassadors:  Please help spread the word and encourage Jill as she brings her message to Active Rain and educates us on the important issue of HOA Abuse.

I hope we see lot of her content brought here to Active Rain!

Well I did comment on her post, but I don't really agree with her stand on HOAs. But I'll check back with her posts

Thank you John. Tammy may disagree but an unlicensed hoa management company should not have their names on HOA bank accounts. Most owners and agents I have spoken to feel the HOA industry needs changed.

Tammie White -- I am sure not all HOAs are bad. I believe we have a serious problem with their actions in many states. I think Jill Schweitzer is on a great mission to reign them in and to EDUCATE the real estate industry so we can serve our clients better.

Pat Starnes -- Please do. I did not realize it but it seems that Realtors are shirking their duty to inform Buyers on the implications of HOAs.

I suspect it is something like taking a position on politics -- better to not say anything at all rather than taking a risk of saying the wrong things.

Of course not all HOAs are bad. They definitely have a role in upholding the standards in the community.
