Trump - NAHB Homebuilders Shoddy Construction and Forced Arbitration
 

Outrageous! Buy a New Home - Don’t Sue and Shut Up
Homebuilders will stop at nothing – Now Buyers must agree not to Speak

Beware of New Builder Clause – Homebuilder requires that homebuyer sign clauses forcing buyers to give up their constitutional rights.  It’s a decision between constitutional rights and the American Dream.

D.R. Horton In Defective Housing News Again

Del Tierra residents in East Manatee facing variety of problems to their homes
"They damage more things then they fix," said Tito. Jeanna is not alone, many other Del Tierra residents have complained about a variety of problems with their homes including Kevin Doyle.  He says a big concern for him now is mold. "We had a roof leak and it's about eight months in, and we also had leakage coming in from the side door from the garage every time it rains," said Doyle. Many of the residents have had their issues taken care of ,including some of those featured in an ABC7 story on Del Tierra last March.

Investigation: New Home Heartbreak
Some homeowners have claimed the company seems to have waited them out until their warranties expired.In suburban Washington, D.C., holes in the foundation led to an infestation of rodents under the house -- and at least one large snake... and that builders are slow or flat out refuse to fix the problems they created, as found in a recent ABC News "Nightline" investigation with over a dozen local ABC affiliates. Jackie Walker, a freelance makeup artist who works for ABC News and other media outlets in Washington, D.C. "It's been a nightmare," she said. "In just the first year, I had 23 appointments and they missed 17 of those.

Trump - NAHB Homebuilders Shoddy Construction and Forced Arbitration
Wednesday, 16 November 2016

Trump says, Court System.  What Court System?  Only Builder Forced Arbitration!
In that speech, Trump asked members of the audience to raise their hands if they have been involved in any "frivolous" lawsuits. Few did, apparently, because Trump then said, "That's all? Not that many. Seriously? They're just embarrassed to raise their hands." But it also might be because — counter to Trump's suggestion that homeowners should be able to sue if the construction is shoddy — oftentimes homeowners are pushed to sign contracts with the builders that bar them from filing lawsuits. Instead, they're forced into third-party arbitration, which may not be appealed and is often kept confidential.

Self-serving Politics of HOA Management Industry Influences HOA Community Board Members
Wednesday, 10 August 2016

Special Report – Part Two:  HOA Bureaucrats Overstep Their Authority
Bluffview Greens Books & Records Closed to Members – Lack of Service – No Transparency... While Bluffview Greens members were not paying close attention, the ugly reality set in. Homeowners had paid a big price, and been deprived of their rights.  The Board of Directors’ spending habits defied logic, when attorney fees exceeded the yearly budget during the first quarter of 2016... The board walked the neighborhood trying to convince members to take their names off the petition.  In fact one homeowner made it clear that she would not remove her name; but the board deliberately removed the name anyway, without permission... SEE PART ONE -  Editorial Feature - Are Homeowners’ Rights a Myth?

HOA Services Not Delivered
Monday, 08 August 2016

HOA Board Members are paying for services not delivered
It appears the Board members have no solutions to the dilemma either, yet HOA members continue to pay for management services that are not being provided. The question is, will Bluffview Greens members be reimbursed for the time First Service Residential management is shut down? ...The fact is the annual Landscape Maintenance Contract price of $10,000.00 actually includes three (3) seasonal floral plantings per year. A service we discovered that has been routinely ignored. ..., over the past four (4) years there have only been two (2) plantings.
