Our subdivision has many homes that do not keep their landscaping up and our management company is slow to do anything, if anything about it (Community Management Associates, Atlanta). We wanted a new management company but Touchstone refused. – even in architectural control – people are just doing what they want when they want and there are no consequences, Touchstone does not respond to homeowner concerns regarding their amenities (non-resident use, upkeep, changes, etc.). It took gun shots at our basketball courts to have the goals removed – after two years of problems with large groups of kids causing problems there. We haven’t had our official 2008 HOA meeting so we were never given a final 2008 budget. Forget askign for a budget with line by line items…they refuse to provide them…not to mention we have quite a few homes that have not paid their HOA fees due to shoddy management and lack of concern on Touchstone’s part.

It is really a shame…such nice homes and they leave homeowners feeling as if they bought into a community run by builders who don’t care about the people who live there. Personally, I can’t wait to see this builder finish up and move on to the next community so we can make sure our property values stay what they should be…Touchstone doesn’t care.
