You guys! Do me a fave and follow my Biz page! (And share) Trying to keep personal me/professional me separate. Over here I can drop the F bomb and post tons of baby pics, over there I can drop F bombs and share real estate happenings 😅 (You know I am still gonna be me. No BS)

I have been a Realtor since 2007 because Real Estate is what I enjoy. I will most likely show up in flip-flops, not heels. I am not a sales person and I will never BS you. I slip a curse word on occasion or three. I work hard for my clients.

Good Morning homeowners,

It sounds like we are split on the issues of renting your property, and allowing 3rd party companies to come in and buy up our homes to lease for profit.

It also sounds like we are split about allowing short term leases such as air bnb, couchserfing, etc.. from going on in our neighborhood. (Remember, this as of now isn't in our by laws, so when the party gets out of control, please call the non emergency number for metro)

What I also have gathered is that as a community you are passionate about our grounds. I would go so far as to say "angry" about the way we have managed our landscape company.

Lastly, you are unhappy with our current management company Associa.

So here comes your chance! You can actually DO something about all of this. We are going to have a vote and 2 board positions are going to be available at our year end annual meeting. So if you feel the sense of pride and ownership that I feel about this neighborhood. I would strongly urge you to do something about it. Feel free to private message me Brandon Styll is you have any questions, I always like feedback.

Thank you in advance!

Dear Homeowners of Boone Trace:
Our job as board members of the Boone Trace HOA is to continually work to preserve, maintain and improve the quality of life for our homeowners. We are entrusted with the protection of our homeowners’ investments, and take pride in our community. Recently, we discussed a review of the restrictions – which have never been updated or revised, and met with an attorney for input on two possible amendments: 1) restrictions on renting of property and, 2) prohibiting short term rentals (also known as Airbnb, etc.).
For discussion:
Rental: Currently, the HOA restrictions do not prohibit an Owner (whether it is a person(s) or any type of entity) from renting/leasing the home to a third party. A large concentration of tenants will significantly change the nature of the community and could potentially lower the market price and affect the ability of Owners to refinance. Absentee Owners (especially investment owners), are more likely not as vested in the community. Grandfathering. The Board would select the date (for example – any transfers on or after October 1, 2017). The restriction would state that any current Owners who were leasing their home on that date could continue to lease their home without regard to any limitations in the provision. When the Owner sells (or conveys it to another person or entity), the new Owner would be required to comply with the rental restrictions. Waiver: The Board may grant a waiver of the rental restriction for a particular hardship if the enforcement of the rental restriction would result in an extreme financial or personal hardship to the Owner (loss of job, illness, relocation to a nursing home, etc.). The Board would adopt a written policy which establishes guidelines as to when the Board may consider a waiver, and when such a waiver would not be appropriate. Since granting a waiver would be in the sole discretion of the Board, conditions can be imposed (a certain amount of time, for example).
Short Term Rentals: Short-term rentals or subleases of the home/property of any kind, type, nature, term, or duration, and any advertising of short-term rentals or subleases of the home/property of any kind, type, nature, term, or duration, would be prohibited. This prohibition would include but is not limited to short-term rentals or subleases, or any advertising of short-term rentals or subleases, using services such as Airbnb, VRBO, Home Away, Flip Key, couchsurfing, or any other short-term rental company.
Please review carefully and advise us on your approval, concerns, yes, no, questions, by responding to this post us at no later than 8-30- 2017. We welcome your input! The Board is prepared to move forward on the formal procedure if we find the majority of community is in favor of amending the restrictions.

Good Morning! First order of business was the inspection report. Every month Associa drives around the neighborhood and looks for violations to the Arc and covenants. (Lawn too tall, trash in yard, etc..) in the past, we had asked that we, the board handled these issues with a knock on your door as we did not want to just "fire off" a bunch of letters. This approach has been ineffective and has officially been changed.

Going forward, if you are in violation, you will be sent a courtesy reminder to correct whatever the violation might be. After 30 days and if the violation was not corrected, you will receive a warning letter. If still no action has been taken, or you have not communicated intentions with Associa, we will then send a letter with a fine.

Our intention is not to be cold and mean. We have just too many violations for us, the board to visit each homeowner.

Thank you for your understanding, we will be having our Annual meeting on Oct. 24 at the Bellevue YMCA. We would love to have you attend to have your voice heard.

More to come!

Have a wonderful day!

Please use caution when going to our park. A couple of the swings are broken and could present danger. We are working on getting it fixed asap. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

Morning update. Newsom station is passable with 2wd vehicles. There is still some lingering ice, but it's pretty clear. Please use caution. Have a great day!
