Homeowners Battle Over Signs
Five homeowners decided to put their homes on the market using "For Sale By Owner" signs. The trouble is the sign also says "KBLies.com." The sellers say KB Homes controls the HOA board for Quarry at Iron Mountain and were given no clear reason why the signs needed to be taken down. They claim they're being denied free speech and the chance to sell their home... This isn't the only neighborhood having trouble. The residents of Sundance Trails and Sundance Ridge at 1604 and Portranco are awaiting a hearing before the HOA board next week.
Homeowners Battle Over Signs
For months there has been tension at The Quarry at Iron Mountain community on the northside.

Five homeowners decided to put their homes on the market using "For Sale By Owner" signs. The trouble is the sign also says "KBLies.com." After trying to talk to the sellers, the residents signed a petition and turned it over to the Home Owners Association.
The sellers say KB Homes controls the HOA board for Quarry at Iron Mountain and were given no clear reason why the signs needed to be taken down. They claim they're being denied free speech and the chance to sell their home. Neighbors have been told by real estate agents that they are not going to show homes in The Quarry at Iron Mountain because of the negative signs.
Sellers have until June 15th to remove the for sale signs or they will be fined $100 a day.
A spokesperson for KB Home says if the signs are not taken down they plan to have a meeting with the residents of the neighborhood.
This isn't the only neighborhood having trouble. The residents of Sundance Trails and Sundance Ridge at 1604 and Portranco are awaiting a hearing before the HOA board next week.
