The main purpose of an HOA is to maintain order within a community and enforce rules so property values remain high. While they are well-meaning ventures, HOAs have a terrible reputation for being negligent or slow to respond, difficult to deal with, or too nitpicky and nosy (aka focused on the wrong priorities and violations).
While these instances do occur, the truth is that a well-managed HOA can actually provide value to its community while maintaining values and helping it look and function at its best. Typically, the board of an HOA is made up of residents in that community. This is a decent principle, but volunteer governance can quickly fall apart.
A More Responsive HOA
If your volunteer HOA board lacks teeth (aka power to enforce the covenant), is MIA when they are needed, or has simply given up the enormous task of managing the HOA, Faith Pro can help.
One of the most common complaints about HOAs is their slow response to community issues. With Faith Pro as your dedicated HOA manager, responsiveness is built in—from malfunctioning sprinkler heads to garbage piling up before trash day, Faith Pro takes care of the day-to-day governance to take pressure off your board and keep your residents happy.
We Handle All HOA Issues and Conflicts
Even if your HOA is reasonably responsive, most people don’t want to deal with problems or be “the bad guy” in the neighborhood. While it might not be hard to set up meetings and take votes on the most common changes to HOA rules, dealing with the problems that arise when dozens (or hundreds) of homeowners are involved can cause many boards to contact an HOA management company.
If you’ve been involved in any sort of community association, you probably have some idea of what we’re talking about when we say “HOA problems.” Here are some of the most common problems that we take off of people’s plates when we become their HOA property managers.
Improper Vehicle Storage
There are over 270 million vehicles in America, and doesn’t it seem like they’re all parked along your street? People’s garages are overflowing with stuff, which means they’ll often park their vehicles in the driveway or along the street. While parking on the street might be allowed by your covenants, it often leads to problems that HOA management companies have to address.
The most common HOA problems with vehicles include boats, RVs, and derelict vehicles. If your HOA states that boats are not allowed on the property, we can enforce that. If a vehicle has to be moved every seven days and an RV hasn’t moved in a month, we’ll get involved. And if a vehicle is sitting on the street without an engine, we’ll make sure that the homeowner understands the consequences of not moving it.
Noise and Other Covenant Violation Cases
We’ll handle any disputes that arise between residents, and enforce the letter of the covenant in all cases. Whether you have residents complaining about noise or yard debris from another, we’ll handle the situation promptly and respectfully.
Home Businesses
We admire it when people listen to their entrepreneurial spirit and decide to start their own business. The problem comes when they choose to open it in the wrong place…namely their home. It’s simply not allowed in most HOA covenants.
Luckily, most HOA rules have iron-clad restrictions against the types of home-based businesses that can be in a neighborhood. Many of these are backed up by city zoning laws, but the homeowner in question still has to be informed of the violation and how they can resolve it. That’s where professional homeowner association management services come in.
