SIDE STREETS: Get your questions ready, the HOA boss is coming to speak!
Comments 6The state’s new HOA boss, Aaron Acker, is coming to town Tuesday to talk about all things related to covenant-controlled communities, the rights of people living under homeowners associations and the new state agency he oversees.
It’s a great opportunity for everyone to meet the man who will oversee the new HOA Information and Resource Office, which opened Jan. 1 within the Division of Real Estate under the umbrella of DORA — the Department of Regulatory Agencies in Denver.
Acker’s job is to register all the HOAs in Colorado and get a handle on complaints of abusive HOA boards and management companies. He will report his findings to the General Assembly.
“We wanted to give HOAs around town the opportunity to ask him questions about the registration process and the complaint process,” said Michelle Green, a property manager active in the Southern Colorado Chapter of the Community Association Institute, which is hosting his speech.
CAI is a national organization made up of professional property managers and volunteer association board members dedicated to “promoting harmony, community, and responsible leadership” within covenant controlled communities.
Some property managers and HOA board members have worried that Acker’s office was created to persecute HOAs. Acker said that’s not the case. And he is looking forward to spreading the word about his office, and dispelling any misconceptions that he exists to torment anyone.
“I’m here to help association managers and boards as much as the homeowners,” Acker said Thursday. “Homeowners associations boards are the homeowners. They are volunteers trying to work for the betterment of their communities. We want to listen to what they have to say.”
