Avoiding Homeowner Wars
A Comprehensive Guide for Successful HOA Governance
by Daniel Zimberoff

---

Avoiding Homeowner Wars, a resource guide brimming with practical information, advice, and real-world “war” stories, helps return sanity, organization, and calm to common interest communities. Not only will this book help resolve neighborhood conflicts as painlessly as possible—it will help avoid conflict (and unnecessary costs) in the first place! With his expert advice written in an easy-to-understand (and often entertaining) package, Daniel Zimberoff has provided the ideal resource for both veterans and newcomers to HOAs and a must-read for a manager, board member, or anyone living in (or thinking of purchasing) a house or condo within a homeowner association.

"If you own a home in a community association or serve as a community association professional, Daniel Zimberoff’s book is a must for you!" —Robert Nordlund, PE, RS "Can you operate your community association in a professional, businesslike manner while still encouraging a sense of camaraderie? Can you prevent small disputes from escalating into full-blown crises? Can you embrace transparency, encourage volunteerism and discourage dysfunction? The answer to the foregoing questions is a resounding "yes" but it takes work and Daniel Zimberoff's book lays out a comprehensive, easily understandable path to get you there!" —Donna DiMaggio Berger, CCAL FELLOW, BOARD CERTIFIED SPECIALIST, CONDOMINIUM AND PLANNED DEVELOPMENT LAW "Daniel Zimberoff has presented a very readable and understandable guide for volunteer board members managing the millions of community associations across the globe to help protect, preserve and enhance the members’ largest assets, their homes. Daniel shows that although this is a significant and challenging task, if the volunteer boards and the unit owners follow some practical steps and work together, this can be a valuable lifestyle. Having insured well over 200,000 associations during my industry tenure and having touched in one way or another probably over 8,000 director and officer claims, I strongly recommend community association managers and board members provide or recommend this book to their colleagues and other homeowners." —Joel Meskin, CIRMS, CCAL FELLOW, MLIS, EBP
