HOA Advocacy & Homeowner Representation
Whether you’re facing an architectural denial, a fine you believe is unjustified, or an HOA board that’s ignoring your concerns, we can help. Most homeowners don’t realize how much leverage they actually have — especially when guided by someone who understands governing documents, state law, and how to push for resolution without triggering legal escalation.
- Review and interpret CC&Rs, bylaws, and enforcement history
- Help draft correspondence, rebuttals, or variance requests
- Attend HOA meetings or hearings with/for you
- Organize group responses for board challenges or petitions
Common HOA Issues We Help Resolve
HOA boards often act with broad authority — but that doesn’t mean they’re always right. From vague architectural denials to disputes over dues, signage, or enforcement bias, homeowners often find themselves on the losing side of uneven power dynamics. Our role is to bring balance, clarity, and credibility to the process — while avoiding unnecessary legal escalation.
Architectural Review Conflicts
Many HOAs reject improvements like fences, sheds, solar panels, or landscaping based on outdated or inconsistently enforced standards. We help homeowners prepare compliant applications, challenge unfair denials, and advocate for fair, reasoned outcomes — without needing to file a lawsuit.
Misappropriation of Funds & Lack of Transparency
Suspicious budget decisions, unchecked landscaping contracts, or dues increases with no documentation? HOAs are required to follow fiduciary and procedural rules — and many don’t. We can help you investigate budget usage, push for financial transparency, and demand board accountability.
Selective Enforcement & Harassment
When rules are enforced inconsistently — or when one household is clearly being targeted — it’s more than just annoying. It’s a liability for the HOA and a hardship for the resident. We work to document bias, bring the issue forward respectfully, and press for resolution without triggering litigation.
Bylaw & Covenant Review
Most homeowners have never read their CC&Rs — and even board members often misunderstand what they’re enforcing. We provide plain-language reviews of your governing documents, identify what’s enforceable (and what’s not), and help craft amendment proposals when changes are needed.
Third-Party Legal Coordination
While we do not act as your attorney, we frequently partner with real estate and HOA law professionals when issues escalate or enter a formal legal process. We can help interpret legal opinions, prepare for hearings, or assist in organizing resident-led campaigns to reform governance or recall board members when necessary.
Dispute Resolution Without Court
Litigation should be the last resort — not the first. We specialize in non-adversarial advocacy that solves issues through diplomacy, documentation, and public pressure when needed. Mediation, board negotiations, and group organizing can often resolve what legal letters only inflame.
HOA Advocacy That Protects What You Own
HOAs are supposed to protect home values — not destroy trust. But what happens when the people in charge hire their friends, ignore the rules, or quietly approve shady spending with no oversight? We step in to help communities organize, inform, and take action — legally and strategically.
Castle Rock, CO — A Community Reclaimed:
Homeowners were concerned about misappropriated funds, board members hiring friends for contracts, and backdoor deals that neglected the neighborhood. Residents felt powerless — even though they technically had the votes to remove the board. The problem? No one was showing up.
We built a multi-pronged awareness campaign that included issue briefs, anonymous interviews, doorstep conversations, and legal analysis of budget usage. At the next HOA election, turnout more than doubled. The board was voted out entirely — and accountability was finally restored.
Most HOAs rely on apathy. We help residents cut through confusion, understand their legal rights under CCIOA (Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act), and organize efforts that lead to real, board-level change — without resorting to litigation.
- Investigating board practices & spending patterns
- Organizing proxy drives, petitions & recall elections
- Community communication strategies to raise awareness
- Reviewing bylaws, CC&Rs, and board eligibility standards
- Coordinating with licensed HOA attorneys when needed
If your board is out of control — or your neighbors don’t even realize what’s going on — we’ll help you take it back, the right way.
HOA Board Reform & Election Strategy
If your HOA board won’t listen, won’t follow the rules, or has created an environment of fear and dysfunction — it may be time to vote them out. But change doesn’t happen on its own. Most homeowners have no idea how HOA elections work, how to gather proxies, or how to coordinate a reform campaign that actually wins. That’s where we come in.
We help communities organize credible, strategic board reform efforts that follow the bylaws and state law — and get the attention of your neighbors without starting a war. From drafting candidate bios to hosting private information sessions and collecting enough proxies to hit quorum, we help you lead a movement that doesn’t collapse under pressure.
We can help with:
– Recall petitions and special meeting requests
– Organizing a reform candidate slate
– Reviewing voting procedures, bylaws, and quorum math
– Crafting non-combative messaging for neighbors
– Executing legal proxy drives and encouraging turnout
When you’re fed up, it’s tempting to go scorched earth. But the most effective HOA reform efforts are calm, credible, and strategically quiet — until the vote is counted.
If you’re ready to reclaim your neighborhood — let’s plan your board reform strategy.
