The Beverly Oaks Homeowners' Association hired Dealey Zimmermann & Blend, PC. in 2015 to compassionately collect unpaid assessments from owners with past due accounts. By working with owners on affordable payment plans, Julie Blend has collected over $17,000 in back assessments. Homeowner's have said she has been both fair and compassionate.The community currently has two delinquent homeowners more than a year overdue and not communicating with the Association. The Association has filed property liens on both properties and is seeking further legal action.
While no one wants to collect money from their neighbor, it's important that we all work together and not have some owners paying more to cover shortfalls from uncollected dues. It's also important the dues be collected within the statute of limitations.
