A successful California homeowners association (HOA) protects the value of its members' properties by managing common areas in gated subdivisions, planned unit developments and condominiums, and establishing and enforcing rules and policies for all property owners in the community. Improving quality of life and real estate values must always be balanced with the freedom of property owners to use their real estate as they see fit. Ted has been assisting homeowner and property owner communities throughout San Luis Obispo, Kern, Ventura and Tulare Counties since 1992 and presently represents over 60 HOA and POA communities. Ted is well versed in the Davis-Stirling (revised) Law which is the controlling authority for nearly all aspects of HOA governance in California. He regularly assists Boards of Directors in the following areas:

Organizing HOAs as California non-profit corporations
Developing CC&Rs that comply with current California law and regulations

Developing and adopting Association Rules and Policies
Instituting IDR and ADR proceedings between Boards and non-compliant members
Enforcing recorded covenants through court action, when necessary
Reviewing contracts with Management companies and  third-party vendors
Defending Directors and Associations in lawsuits brought by owners/members
