vs The Rest
There's one site built for homeowners — and one built to sell subscriptions to the very HOA boards you're trying to research.
The Core Question
Who Is Each Site
Actually Built For?

HOA Doctor
hoadoctor.com
Designed and priced for HOA boards and property management companies. Their own marketing says it: "Manage company reputation at scale," "Control and respond to reviews across your entire portfolio." That's not about helping you. That's about helping them manage what you see.

One of the most dysfunctional HOA's in the State of Washington!
Kamilche Point Community Club HOA · Shelten, Washington
One of the most dysfunctional HOA's in the State of Washington! Pending future expensive assessments to cover costs for a dock and paved road which have not been properly maintained. The third asset is the water system which is state of the art system due to a previous water manager's persistence along with the Health Department's regulations. Self governing of this HOA has not been successful. All due to majority of members not wanting to budget for reserves for future repairs and/or replacement.
We have made so many advances over the last four months, it is amazing.
Westview Meadows · Leander, Texas
We have made so many advances over the last four months, it is amazing. A good proactive, educated and involved board can for sure turn things around. One major achievement is that we have gotten the management company to return late fees that were assessed incorrectly for about 100 members or the last two years.
Best Management Company we have ever dealt with.
4our SeaSuns, LLC · Panama City, Florida
Best Management Company we have ever dealt with. We have been through them all here but this one is by far the best.
Company addresses everything but owners concerns.
Forest Green · Johnson Creek, Wisconsin
Company addresses everything but owners concerns. From the over salting of walkways to the point they are crumbling. To failing to address the illegal parking on private property by none COA members
They violate Florida Statues and even their own by-laws.
Meadow Run HOA · Venice, Florida
They violate Florida Statues and even their own by-laws. The board members have falsified documents in the election, have not produced requested documentation to prove proof of payment for an $82,000 lake renovation. They will not let homeowners speak their allocated three minutes per Florida law. The HOA and management company are uneducated individuals using their power to bully mostly the elderly homeowners
They are disgusting people who voted to have over 500 geese including baby geese euthanized.
Heritage Plantation · Madison, Alabama
They are disgusting people who voted to have over 500 geese including baby geese euthanized. This HOA had the option to safely remove the geese instead they chose to murder them and their babies it's so disgusting the way they use their power.
HOA used residents dues to pay for killing… The residents were at a majority...
Heritage Plantation · Madison, Alabama
HOA used residents dues to pay for killing… The residents were at a majority against this and they used their money to kill over 500 innocent geese. They could have used that money for clean up services. I lived in that neighborhood for 20 years and the geese have never bothered me.
This HOA savagely murdered hundreds of innocent geese despite being offered...
Heritage Plantation · Madison, Alabama
This HOA savagely murdered hundreds of innocent geese despite being offered numerous other humane options. Sickening.
The Goose Murderer neighborhood!
Heritage Plantation · Madison, Alabama
The Goose Murderer neighborhood! The HOA murders wildlife in this neighborhood. ! They just gassed to death over 550 geese from their man made ponds. Do not buy here !
Rich cowards who don't care to murder wildlife!
Heritage Plantation · Madison, Alabama
Rich cowards who don't care to murder wildlife!!! Mass euthanization of wildlife due to inconvenience. Cowards hiding behind their wealth and status. Not following through with offers to help for FREE. Imagine slaughtering 550 innocent healthy geese and then trying to erase the public backlash. Absolutely cowardly. Claim to be a beautiful community surrounded by wildlife and the Joe Wheeler Wildlife Reservoir, until it becomes an inconvenience to the wealthy people and their sidewalks
