I receive a lot of emails from both current owners at Deer Ridge Mountain Resort – and from owners of other properties where the Board of Directors for the HOA is out of control.

This page was originally set up to warn owners and potential owners of condos at Deer Ridge Mountain Resort at 3710 Weber Rd. in Gatlinburg Tennessee.

These initial warnings, I personally believe, relate to the past (and possibly present) HOA Board and the property‘s General Manager's explicit, blatant and suspicious violations of the bylaws and other controlling legal documents of Deer Ridge Mountain Resort.

Since publishing this new Deer Ridge Owners website, it appears to have struck a major chord with many other condo owners of many other HOA “governed” properties all across the nation.

Clearly, too many folks are suffering too much from what I call, “HOA Board Abuse.”

Almost always, the story is the same or similar to my 8-year, $50,000 fight with the General Manager and Board of Directors at Deer Ridge: suspicious board member activity, blatant violations of the explicit HOA documents, unwillingness to provide the books and records in the required format with source documents for forensic audit review, etc.

HOW I CAN HELP YOU

My primary business for the past three decades has been serving as a management consultant to thousands of startup and emerging companies in 49 of the 50 states, six of the seven continents and more than 70 countries worldwide. My hourly rate is $250 and I work against a prepaid 10-hour retainer of $2,500 for as long as my clients wish to continue refreshing the retainer. Simple. No long-term commitment.

At the request of many disenfranchised owners, I now offer my business consulting service also to justifiably disgruntled property owners supposedly "governed" by Petty Tyrants in HOA Fiefdoms that wield so much unjustifiable and inequitable power.

To make this cost more affordable for the average HOA-governed property owner, I HIGHLY recommend that you band together with other disgruntled owners and split the cost for my fees.

The more owners you can enlist in your Quest for Justice, the better.

Not only does it reduce the cost per owner – it sends a VERY strong message to the HOA Board of Directors that you are much more than just an Army of One!

NOTE: I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY AND I DO NOT GIVE LEGAL ADVICE.

Instead, I can review your underlying documentation, correspondence, documented threats, etc. and come up with business-focused strategies and tactics – and an action plan and potential budget – and an executive summary that succinctly helps you efficiently take your case to an attorney.

But before we get to the attorney stage, my best efforts goal will be to identify what I believe are the most pivotal and crystal-clear "slamdunk" violations for which the HOA Board Members might be most significantly vulnerable. Armed with this information, we might, just maybe, be able to draft a demand letter that warns them of impending legal action if they do not expeditiously resolve the problem(s.)

For example, in my lawsuit against Deer Ridge and its Board of Directors, I had a half dozen different major claims. One of the most powerful ones was that the board and general manager were completely unwilling to provide the books and records and receipts in the form required by the bylaws.

(It's my understanding from current owners that the current board of directors and the general manager still refuse to provide this information! I personally find this highly suspect!)

I believe that the ticking time bomb of this one issue caused the Board of Directors to COMPLETELY cave and settle my lawsuit three days before the trial was to begin.

What might I be able to find, business-wise, about your own HOA and board of directors that could be GREATLY beneficial to you and other owners at your property?

I also provide you a copy of my own fairly comprehensive lawsuit against both Deer Ridge Mountain Resort AND its HOA Board Members individually. These documents may be able to give you a timesaving guide and template for crafting your own lawsuit with your own attorney.

While the Deer Ridge Board of Directors required me NOT to disclose the details of my financial settlement agreement for my major WIN against them, I am completely free to discuss everything else about my case.

My hourly rate is the same as above: $250 per hour. However, to help as many people as possible against these "Petty Tyrants" my required prepaid 5-hour retainer is only $1,250 – half of my standard 10-hour retainer.

If you would like my help, please contact me via the Contact Us page to check my current availability.

If I'm available, I will send you my standard Statement of Work. If you find that agreeable, we can get started once you pay the $1,250 retainer.

All the best,

Robert
