Sterling and their fees
Sterling and their fees
Sterling and their fees So you go online to pay your exorbitant trail and HOA fees. Usually when you pay by bank draft no fees. They tack on an extra 2.25 or 2.75 to your payment for administrative fees. Greedy idiots! And I still don't understand why Elm grove also has to pay Sherwood trails trail fees. I think I'm going to start attending these meetings.
mattem : Because they manage the trails in Elm Grove probably. Many villages don't maintain their own trails.

mattem : Dont even get me started! There should be an itemized statement what they spend imo. That aside, deed restricted community means NOTHING if HOA does not (chooses not to) enforce it's own rules. Yes, your community could easily become a fifth ward community………because HOA's refuse to spend the money to mow lawns of chronic rule breakers…….so just what DO they do with our dues that are intended to protect one of our biggest assets? They brag they make sure the entrances have pretty flowers…..well who the hell cares if you live next door to a deer lease? Our dues are meant to protect us from that. 😡😡😡

mattem : Elm Grove AND Sherwood Trails have a shared trail system. Both villages contribute to the maintenance and upkeep of the trails. segtakingwood.com/
When I read whiny heinie posts like this I just shake my head. When was the last time you attended your community's HOA Board or Trail Association meeting.
Look, you moved into a community with an HOA. Either put up, shut up, or leave to a non-HOA community.

mattem : Yep. Gotta pay to pay. I think I would walk my *** in their in person. It's a nuisance but..the fee is absurd.

If you think Sterling is bad, try dealing with the woman who owns KSA. She seems to believe that we all bought houses here solely to provide an income for her and her business. I have no issues with the HOA fees and the trails fees. It's all the add-ons that she herself charges that are pure profit for her and that she absolutely refuses to answer residents questions about that boil my blood. Want to buy a house? You'll pay her. Want to sell a house? You'll pay her. Want to get a mortgage? You'll pay her. Want to refinance? You'll pay her. The fees involved are ridiculous considering the mere minutes it takes her to accomplish her duties. If you ask her to explain the basis for her fees in writing she will absolutely refuse to answer in writing, clearly to avoid leaving a written record of what she said, and if you push the issue she will totally ignore you. If you refuse to pay her fees until you get an explanation, she will start foreclosure on your property and the legal fees for the pitbull ambulance chaser lawyers she immediately sics on you will total thousands of dollars PER WEEK. She's an entitled disgrace. Read the Google reviews. The entitled arrogance is amazing.

Ruger5 : This topic is *** chapping right up there with COH water dept.

ExCTGuyInTX : I did go straight to my next scheduled HOA meeting at that time. After much solemn head shaking while I was speaking, I can summarize the boards long winded answer as "We like her, and it sucks to be you." I did try to address this with them. I never returned to another meeting. I have no complaints whatsoever with paying my HOA and trails fees. I think they're more than fair and I expect to pay my fair share. It's her attitude, her feeling that she doesn't need to answer to the homeowners, and her near usurious charges that I object to. By the way, amigo - how you dooin'? Happy New Year to you and Mrs. ExCTGuyInTX!

Ruger5 : The holiday decorations are nice but.. I can live without seeing 4th of July flags on NP and a wreath and lights at the entrance of my community.
Ticagro : Ethel sucks!!
cbear : Oh, believe me - what I wrote is just the tip of the iceberg with her.
cbear : cbear : I'm in Sand Creek. Trying to pay yearly HOA and Trails assessments on line to KSA is so ridiculously complicated that it's hilarious. I want to tell her that 1976 called, they want their online payment system back. Trying to sign in had me instinctively waiting for the dial up handshake connection to begin. I'm surprised she's not still using AOL or Prodigy. You have to sign up with some backwater out of state fleabag S&L type bank, create an account with login and password with them, sign on through there, try to remember the password format that they demand you use, and on and on and on. From the looks of this outdated ridiculous system, I assume they still accept Bank Americard and Diners Club as well. You just can't make this stuff up.
