New Management Company: Sequoia Management

Dear Fair Woods HOA Members –

Ι’m pleased to inform you that Fair Woods Homeowner’s Association will be transitioning to Sequoia Management effective July 1, 2023.   

After considering recommendations from our attorneys and going through a competitive process, we’ve determined that Sequoia Management will provide us with excellent full service. They will be communicating soon regarding registration to their online portal for membership through Cinc, which will allow for payments, registration and all-access information for members.

This transition is occurring as a result of two notifications, one from National Cooperative Bank indicating that they identified evidence of possible impropriety by Rosewood Management, and one from the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation indicating that Rosewood Management was unable to provide us with the necessary level of management support due to events occurring in their company that are currently under investigation. After consultation with our attorneys at Chadwick, Washington, Moriarty, Elmore & Bunn, P.C., we decided to hire a new management company, and we are pleased to have Sequoia take over starting July 1, 2023.   

In addition to exercising a competitive process to review and consider new Property Management companies, we have taken measures to ensure that our HOA has proper oversight.

We engaged our auditing firm, Daly, Hamad & Associates, PLLC to expedite the completion of our current year audit through September 2022 and then review all transactions through March 31, 2023. In addition, Joe McDonald, our Treasurer, and myself became the signatories on our operating account and have been personally reviewing all invoices and signing all checks written on behalf of our HOA.

While the process of a transition of Property Management companies is challenging for any HOA, we’re excited about the new tools and excellent service that Sequoia will bring to our HOA. Please be on the lookout for additional information from Sequoia Management in the near future.

Thank you.

Fair Woods HOA Board of Directors

FAIR WOODS HOA ALERT ON NEIGHBORHOOD TRASH PROBLEMS!

In order to alleviate any confusion about trash pickup, we would like to remind all that trash collection is Tuesday & Friday, recycling is Wednesday and yard waste is Saturday.

Please put containers curbside the evening before pickup, collect them by the following evening, and store them in your garage or backyard. Arrange with a neighbor to pick up your container if you will be away. Consider putting your house number on each of your containers and lids.

It is an HOA rule that ALL garbage containers must be stored in garages or backyards. You may not leave your container in your front or side yard or in sight from the street.* If we do not see an immediate response to this problem of people leaving the containers in their front yards and the
street, we will give notices and then remove them. This is a lovely place to live – please help keep it that way.
