I've had quite a bit of experience with Goodwin and its ownership over the years. While HOAs can…read moregenerally be challenging, it's valuable to have an established company that has the experience and resources to serve communities responsibly. I would not necessarily question Goodwin's honesty, but I do have concerns that their business practices prioritize revenue generation over proactive, hands-on community management and the quality of service residents expect. My negative feedback is on: 1. What I believe to be Goodwin's predatory fine structure including, at times, for onsite management at certain communities, late assessments and violations. 2. Goodwin's level of service. Internally, it's this good ol boy system of feeding our friends and having a good time. That life comes from clients who trust Goodwin with their community. In my own community we have problems with consistency of landscape maintenance and pool maintenance. The common areas are overgrown for extended periods but they send us notices threatening fines immediately following multiple days of rain. The pool maintenance really needs to improve. The trash is left for weeks-months and smells like somebody died at the pools. The pool itself is cloudy and frequently covered in leaves with items strewn about the pool deck. This does not match the level of service our community pays for. Both are very simple with a little bit of oversight. When they do drives, they would do good to check on the common areas and not just fine owners for minor issues.

This HOA selectively sends out huge fines for complete nonsense like having a dandelion sprouting…read moreout of xeriscaping. My neighbors seem to get none of these fines for having the same "issues" and trash laying out for months, though.
