Did you know that an increasing number of homeowners are opting to live in communities managed by an association? Recent stories often highlight the negative aspects, painting a grim picture of community associations. Headlines about HOA nightmares and contentious community disputes grab attention, but is this the whole story?
Join us on this episode of PlotLines as we sit down with the CEO of FirstService Residential David Diestel to explore the reality behind the headlines. David shares his extensive experience in the residential community management space, discussing the true benefits of community living and the importance of fostering a positive experience for residents. He dives into how FirstService is shaping the future of residential communities, helping to simplify community living and create environments where homeowners thrive.
David talks about the increasing popularity of community associations, with 78% of new homes in the US being built in such communities. He highlights the advantages, such as shared amenities, reduced expenses, and a strong sense of belonging. Despite the negative headlines, the majority of homeowners enjoy their HOA or community-managed homes, finding value in the connections they build.
Tune in to hear why David would “rewrite” the headline as, “If you want to impact your own life, get involved in your community association.”
