Complete HOA Resource

Imagine this scenerio...you are a community manager for a homeowners association.  New homeowners have moved into a home in your association and have never lived in a HOA before and also never read their ACC guidelines, rules & regulations, etc that were provided at closing.  So the new neighbors decide that they need a privacy fence in their backyard because 1. they want the privacy 2. they have a dog that they do not want to escape and 3. they have younger children and they worry they will run into the street.  They hire a contractor to put up the fence and go and purchase all the wood.  You, the community manager are doing your monthly drive-through when you notice that a privacy fence is being built and is almost finished.  You try to recall if a written approval was made for this fence and you come to the conclusion it must not have because 1. it is taller than what is allowed per the ACC guidelines and 2. it is not the right "type" of fence.  After getting back to the office you look at the platt map and realize that not only is the fence all wrong but it is over the property line and is partially into the neighbors yard.  You call the homeowner to discuss what is going on and they get pretty upset.  They already purchased all the materials and paid the labor to have it built and now they have to take it down.  They had no idea that they needed permission to put it up...it was in the backyard.  Now not only are they out a few grand for the fence they are also very upset about the process and probably have an awful outlook on what HOA living really means.

This situation could have been avoided if only the new neighbor would have read those documents provided to them at closing.  Did you know that over 90% of new homeowners never read their hoa documents?  This number is huge considering the number of hoa and coa associations that are out there!  The truth of the matter is some people may start to read them and then they see all these large, formal words about voting and meetings and amendment changes and they are thinking "I dont need to know this, I am never going to serve on the board" and they tuck them away in a drawer and never look at them again!  Proper HOA and COA education can prevent many incidents and can make association living peaceful and fun!  Complete HOA Resource offers homeowner education in a fun and interactive way as opposed to spending hours reading through covenents & restrictions, ACC guidelines, etc.  We offer an interactive DVD that covers all the basics of association living in less than 15 minutes!  We also offer the perfect Welcome Packet to explain all the details of your association.  Welcome your neighbors and clients into your association with the proper education so that you all may work together to create community spirit and spend less time dealing with issues that occured because of lack of education!
