  • “Finding the Key To Your Castle” was written as a helpful guide for homeowners, board members, managers and realtors. Although California specific in some regards, it has a lot of basic information that will help people in homeowner associations understand what a common interest development is all about. Its a fun read, with two made up characters sharing their insight. It was written by a Board member and Attorney who shared a common interest in helping people overcome misunderstandings based on a lack of education about HOAs. It has received rave reviews from owners, board members, managers and yes, realtors. Anyone who wants to know more about HOA living could benefit from reading this book.

  • Finding the key to your castle can not be accomplished by living in a homeowner association housing product controlled by an HOA board of King neighbors and Queen HOA lawyers.

    The homeowner’s real key to finding the key to their castle is being in control of their OWN castle.

    The book titled, Villa Appalling! Destroying the Myth of Affordable Community Living, (http://www.villaappalling.com) written by Donie Vanitzian and Stephen Glassman is considered the homeowners “bible” and is the key that can help unlock the secrets to the homeowner association industry’s desire to control your castle.

    Nobody should live in a homeowner association without Villa Appalling!, or buy into an HOA without first reading it. It is over 500 pages long, and includes over 700 footnotes as well as 6 pages of homeowner worksheets.

    In the last chapter titled, The Real Tragedy, it is written “The homeowner association industry has totally eclipsed the Constitutional Rights of all homeowners living in deed restricted properties.”

    Need we say more……….
