Our HOA Ninjas

Our firm represents hundreds of homeowners’ and condominium associations throughout the Charlotte metro area and the state. We are experienced in working with developers to set up new subdivisions as well as in representing their homeowners associations afterwards, which gives us additional insight into what works and what doesn’t when the homeowners are faced with the practical challenges of running the association on a daily basis.

We focus on practical advice and building long-term relationships, so you won’t see us wasting time on hypotheticals or treating your association in a cookie-cutter manner. To us, each association is an individual client with its own personality, history and goals, and we want to be a part of the team to help realize those goals. We are active in the Community Associations Institute, the Homeowners Association Subcommittee of the North Carolina Bar Association’s Real Property Section, local chambers of commerce, the North Carolina Homebuilders Association, and the Charlotte Region Commercial Board of Realtors among others HOA-related organizations.
