Thank you for letting people know about this. Unfortunately, many people in condos down here, are so dumb, they don't even know they don't know anything.
There are contractors and vendors there pitching their services but our Association law firm will be giving the course for Boards of Directors on the laws, etc..
A lawyer is the greatest help for a board, mine sat next to me at meetings and I let her do most of the talking, she really knew her business. Attacks were nipped in the bud.
It's not a scam. Where do you go where somebody doesn't try to sell you something? Personally, I'd rather go to Becker's or Gelfand's seminar, but Condo Craze is very interesting and informative.
You are much better off, knowing what you can and can't do, than imagining all sorts of scenarios where you win big battles against your condo. Almost never happens!
A lot of BOD members are in it only for their ego, power, and their own personal agendas at their condos. And to say to their friends up north they are on a condo board. Most are horrible members, self serving and clueless beyond belief. Most, but not all, but MOST!
9:24 that's an opinion from the owners not on a condo board. Many suffer from the apathy of the membership, year after year no election needed because no one signs up. Either they do nothing but complain or they try to attack and blame.

ReplyDeleteThose events are held to sale pitch services and goods to condo boards. It's a scam.

Ours charges $300 an hour...my owners would tar and feather me
ReplyDeleteThat sounds about right Lynn! And for an individual seeking legal counsel on a Condo/HOA matter, it's about $600/650 an hour.
