Report
Totally unprofessional, negligent, failure to respond to anything, lost paperwork, after 6 months of negligence they let go the Manager they gave us and gave us about her who again failed to do their job. We ended our contract early because they provided no services and we were watching them wrack up their own personal fees and doubling down with draining our accounts. The picture below is our 4 foot grass outside our homes because they failed to renew the contract that they knew needed to be renewed. They increased their pay despite providing no services and not having authorization from HOA. We had to let them go early because they were costing us more to keep them.

I've had this HOA for 4 years now. It's absolutely the worst company I've experienced. Very unorganized and inconsiderate. In the 4 years I've been here there's always been a issue with pool services. I've done everything by the book, association fees paid, pool passes paid, etc. and still get denied access to what should be included in our monthly payments. Some trash days the trash will not get picked up at all.
It's very annoying to have to chase this company down after following their instructions. Can't have floatation devices at the pool, can't bring a beach ball, anything to have a good time is prohibited. I'm an adult with no kids but everything with this HOA is geared towards families uwith children. No adult swim hours, we were on the school's schedule until June 16th. There's absolutely no reason why my information was in the system as red when I've paid fees ON TOP of the regular HOA fees to enjoy the pool. I will never live in a community that Tidewater is in charge of. Absolutely unpleasant experience with them all 4 years thus far.

Cody helped us purchase our new home in Baltimore. We were living in Arizona and had a lot of complications to work through logistically and Cody stepped up every time to help us out. He accommodated our schedule which was ever changing with out batting an eye an always on a positive note. Highly recommend using Cody Bishop for your real estate transaction.

Report
The front desk was helpful of my inquiry of a $4,000 refund check, that was going out to me in 2 weeks they said. 3 weeks later, I hear the check went out 18 days ago and I never got it. It took over night to address my concern. The next day Tara found the mistake, the check was sent to the wrong address. She voided the check and issued me a new one, to the correct address. Perfect!

They currently manage my HOA, and it is horrid. The community has only declined since their take over, I literally have no idea where my 85.00 a month goes to besides in their pocket! We were contracted to them to do community work and didn't get paid MULTIPLE checks and still haven't to this day and that was in early 2021. None of our HOA policies are enforced by them and they never come out to even look at the community. Look elsewhere if you would like quality management of your property/ies.
