What is an Homeowners Association?

Here at Emblem Properties, we offer The Customer Service Difference–Where OUR Clients Are #1. This includes providing information to all the questions that you may have. Have you ever wondered what a Homeowners Association (HOA) does? We are here to help explain!

A homeowner’s association (HOA) is run by a board of directors that is elected by the homeowners. This organization makes and enforces the rules for a subdivision, planned community, or condominium building. The purpose of a homeowner’s association is to maintain public areas and provide amenities to be used by its members.

Amenities

When living in a neighborhood or community with an HOA you have access to all amenities in that area. Walking trails, sports fields, swimming pools, gyms, playgrounds, parks, and barbecue pits are just some of the many amenities that could be available in neighborhoods with an HOA.

     

Maintenance and Management

The HOA is responsible for services such as cleaning and lawn care in public areas, repairing roads, and trash pickup. They are also in charge of maintenance of the amenities provided, for instance, fitness equipment and pools. Board members also manage the communities finances and run business affairs.

Why get confrontational with a neighbor? Settle disputes through your HOA’s board. The HOA board is there to protect and enforce the rules so that you do not have to! If you would like to settle situations for yourself they are also there to direct you in the right course of action to prevent the problem from expanding.

Overreach By HOAs

The 2021, 87th,Texas legislative session took several actions in relation to HOAs. As Texas REALTORS®, we support bringing balance to HOAs and have advocated for issues to protect you, our homeowners. Read the link below to see the bills presented to ensure HOA operations are transparent and resident-friendly:

Reasons to choose a REALTOR® vs “For Sale by Owner”

Full Time Job

An agent’s full-time job is to show your home at any time and pick up the phone when potential buyers call. Listing a home on top of your busy schedule could put a hold on the possible sale of your listing. In this market, you must be prepared to move quickly. Do you have time to answer every phone call? Can you drop everything in your day to go show your home? Are you going to interview every caller for credit worthiness?  Are you going to determine the safety of every person that comes into your home? A REALTOR® dedicates their time and expertise and takes advantage of every possible opportunity available to assist you in the process of your sale!

Marketing Networks

REALTORS® market your listing for you! Without the help of an agent, you will pay out of pocket for your own marketing needs. REALTORS® can market in the best way possible to bring the largest pool of potential buyers to your home. Their brokerages may have additional advertising networks beyond the MLS for an even greater exposure of your listing.

REALTORS® May Not Show “For Sale By Owner” Home

REALTORS® are trained professionals. “For Sale by Owner” listings take a huge risk stepping into the market without the assistance of an agent because of their lack of knowledge. Perceived costs saved may cost you more in the long run because of lack of knowledge and inexperience. An agent that represents a buyer could discourage buyers from making an offer, due to the hassles and risks of trying to proceed in a transaction without a licensed agent representing the seller.

Emblem Properties provides a team of agents including Sherri Barrett-BROKER/OWNER who are ready to serve you in your real estate needs! We offer The Customer Service Difference–Where Our Clients Are #1. Please call 936-439-6630 for any assistance or answers to any questions you may have.
