HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS
A Nightmare or a Dream Come True?

    There are over 40 million Americans living in covenants-controlled communities, governed by homeowner associations. Experts predict that number will soon double. The majority of homes being built today are in just such communities.

    The often overwhelming problems homeowners experence in the comunities run rampant across the country.

    Even worse, there are court decisions that verify that the Constitutional rights of homeowners in covenants-controlled communities are not only under attack, there are cases where their rights have been legally denied.

    I want to throw a lifesaver of pertinent information to those current homeowners and future buyers.

In an effort to help build strong, happy communities I offer helpful tips, plus personal phone consulting to anyone who is involved with a homeowners’ association or a common interest development.

Whether you’re a homeowner, a member of a board of directors or an officer with an HOA, a management company, a developer, a builder, an attorney, or if you’re simply looking to buy a home in a community with an HOA, for an HOA phone consultation contact me toll free at
866-422-5224 in Denver 303-422-6277 (Monday through Wednesday 9am to 5pm Mountain Time).


      "For homeowners who don’t know where to turn or what first step to take when they’re having problems with their homeowner association, there is an alternative to the often non-productive and always very unpleasant legal action. The happier alternative is consultation with an expert on homeowner association affairs.

      "Consultation early on in an HOA situation can prevent a small disagreement from escalating into a full-blown courtroom disaster with lots of pain for everyone and no real solution to the problem for anyone.

      "Joni Greenwalt, author of HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS: A Nightmare or a Dream Come True?, is just such a proactive consultant. A long-time homeowner in a covenant-controlled community, and president of the board of its homeowner association, Joni matches her expertise in resolving HOA disputes with a forward-looking and caring attitude. Joni ardently believes that everyone deserves to live happily in their home.

      "Besides being an active Realtor®, Joni has been on both sides of that ponderous HOA boardroom table. The four-year research enterprise for her book has both broadened and honed her knowledge immeasurably. Her twenty years of successful real estate experience have also sharpened her negotiation skills."

                      –Jim Winzenburg, attorney, Denver CO


Through my personal experiences, I recognized that what starts out to be a small issue (something like Christmas lights or even a birdhouse) can become a gigantic issue costing homeowners thousands of dollars. Some have even lost their homes. I learned how to put a quick stop to such tragedies in my community.

All during the time I was dealing with my association problems, I could find no outside resource to guide me. And that’s what generated my commitment to help buyers and homeowners gain and protect their right to live happily in their communities.

So I extend my tips plus phone consulting service to help start a movement to produce pleasurable neighborhoods with an enduring sense of community.
