I live in a neighborhood in the bay area that they manage the HOA. We pay big bucks to them, but they do nothing! The builder picked them and it has been hard to get rid of them.
They run around trying to fine and penalize everyone for any small thing they can think of. When there is a real problem, they don't do anything, they wont let you file complaints by phone, only email and they don't answer email. They pretend they did not receive it.
Like other people, they are making up parking rules and saying they are the law and towing even when it does not break any rules. They are very unhelpful and useless. I can't wait until we get rid of them, but they are good at sucking up to the people who can get rid of them so we may be stuck with them for awhile....if only we had known how bad they were, we would not have moved here, now with the housing crash, we are stuck here.
Pros: They are far from here so I don't have to see them in person
Cons: Everything!
