@alishacollinsrealestate: Replying to @AMS12345 👀 A comment about a neighbor trash-talking during an open house got me thinking… sometimes, selling a house means dealing with way more than just buyers and sellers. It reminded me of a property I had where, every single time I posted something, the HOA president had something negative to say. And listen — sometimes talking to neighbors is a good thing. You can learn about the community, the rules, even get a feel for what life is like there. But if the neighbor (or HOA president) is dramatic? That can complicate everything. So here’s the real question: when you’re looking at a home in an HOA, should you call and chat with the HOA president to see if you “vibe”… or is it enough to just read through the HOA documents? I’ve seen both sides — and it can absolutely make or break how you feel about the house. 💬 What do you think? Would you trust the HOA paperwork, or do you want to talk to the president before you buy? #rea#realestatebesties#casperwyomingrealestateishacollins #covenants #hoarules

Omg there’s an HOA board member that keeps bugging us at a house that’s for sale. Very nosey and very demanding. He’s come up to me on multiple occasions and been extremely rude. It’s very uncomfortable.

I looked at by-laws, walked the neighborhood talked with folks, turns out the HOA and home owner paid neighbors to speak kindly of HOA. We are now in a living hell

For example:if we had an HOA the attack dogs wouldn’t be able to bark non-stop when you’re in your yard or the kids&adults couldn’t ride the street on a three wheeler or golf cart..no business trucks allowed ..awkward fences on the front lawns..unmowed lawns

We just moved into our new home even though our house is still on the market but when we were here a few weeks before moving in. the town “walker” came by saying he keeps an eye on things around town and told us all of these town rules and blah blah, checked with town because I’m like that doesn’t sound right cuz I read the ordinances. Yeah turns out he was just saying what he wants the rules to be, not what they actually are. So that’s going to be fun I hope he doesn’t turn into the problem guy around here. Otherwise he seemed friendly but way too nosey for a small rural town.

We read all the rules and covenants. We also researched and spoken with people in the neighborhood to get a feel of the HOA.

HOA would be a 100% deal breaker!! Don't care if I loved it - if I was told HOA I am walking away!

I’m closing on an HOA next week (fingers crossed it doesn’t go wrong). The area I’m moving too is mostly HOA. I was adamant I’d never do it but this one is really good. I went straight to the main office to meet them all and talk to them.

I won't buy in the HOA at any cost. I would rather live in a gated community called a base over a HOA.

Rules my be great when you buy but they change. In 23 yrs I saw multiple iterations of the rules and then I had to move. they went from reasonable to intolerable.

I’ve seen way too many people get on an HOA board and live out their power hungry dreams. Serious nutcases running around with clipboards and yardsticks checking the heights of flowerpots. No thanks.
