Yes, the HOA Is That Bad (Sometimes)
HOAs can be helpful—or a complete nightmare. I’ve seen both, and buyers need to know exactly what they’re signing up for before the closing table.
• Fines for the wrong shade of mulch? Yep.
• Surprise fees because the HOA has zero reserves? Common.
• Pet limits, paint color drama, and neighborhood parking wars? Very real.
• Some HOAs are peaceful… others feel like a second job.
• Bottom line: Read those covenants before you commit.
Thinking of buying or selling in Auburn or Opelika? Call me before you sign anything. And if you’re not local, I’ll personally connect you with a trusted REALTOR® anywhere in the U.S.
Ever dealt with an HOA horror story? Share it with me—I’ve probably heard worse. (Maybe.)
