GUD Community Management: Reviews
Fantastic experience: After going through the process of finding and vetting Many management companies, my community hired GUD management a few years ago. In my opinion it was the best move we made and our current manager, Stephanie is top of the line, she knows her stuff! They respond to inquiries within a timely manner, and have been around long enough to know which businesses that we may need to hire are worth persuing, or not.
Hi Phyllis,
Thank you for the 5 stars and for sharing your experience. We know how much work goes into vetting management companies, so hearing that your community feels GUD was the right choice means a lot.
We’re especially glad Stephanie’s experience and responsiveness are making a difference for your board and community. We’ll be sure she sees your kind words.

Negative experience: Without question, this is one of the most incompetent, untrustworthy, and unprofessional HOA management companies I have had the misfortune of dealing with. They refuse to provide information about your account, details about transactions, or publish HOA Board meetings or contacts. They effectively deny homeowners the right to be heard by the board and access to meaningful dispute resolution, while failing maintain the community well. At this point, I'm convinced they extort home owners and that the association "board" profits from this. Also, their customer facing representatives are unprofessional, make threats, and can't be bothered to spell correctly in written communication. I filed complaints with the BBB and the AZ Dept of Real Estate. I am reaching out to the rest of my community to evaluate pursuing collective action together. Shame on GUD and Landing at Mountain Park HOA.

Fantastic experience: I am an HOA President and the Board is very satisfied with GUD community management. GUD and out community manager Nery, I’ve been great to work with. Nery handles all our issues large and small and a timely manner. He keeps us appraised of the issues and concerns from the community. He is proactive and communicates regularly and professionally. We are very happy with Nery and the service provided by GUD community management.
Hi Marcia,

Negative experience: Worst company that I am aware of! They send threatening letters as often as they can for very minor issues! They don’t live up to any of the amenities they pretend to offer. Their response time is ridiculously slow. They seek anyway they can to fine residents.
Hi Kevin,
I’m sorry to hear you feel this way. Receiving compliance notices or experiencing delays in response can certainly be frustrating.
Our role as a management company is to carry out the direction of each community’s elected Board of Directors and to enforce the governing documents consistently across all homeowners. Compliance letters are not intended to be threatening or punitive — they’re meant to address issues outlined in the community’s rules and applied uniformly.
If response times have fallen short or if you believe something was handled unfairly, we want to understand that. We’d like to turn your one star into five — what can we do? Please email me directly at [email protected] with your community name and a brief summary of the situation so I can review it.

Hi Scott,
Thank you for the 5 stars — especially coming from an HOA President who has worked with Dustin for many years. That perspective means a lot.

Negative experience: Our HOA just hired GUD and so far they have been difficult to deal with. They subcontract/delegate basic accounting functions making them a PIA for the homeowners to deal with.
Hi Rick,
I’m sorry to hear your initial experience has felt difficult. Transitions to new management can sometimes come with adjustments, and we understand that can be frustrating.
For clarity, we do not subcontract our core accounting functions. GUD has dedicated Property Accountants and accounting staff on our team who handle homeowner account inquiries, assessments, and financial reporting internally. Our goal is to make the process straightforward — not more complicated.
We’d like to turn your one star into five — what can we do to improve your experience? Please email me directly at [email protected], and I’ll make sure your concerns are reviewed.

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Nedy on several properties and he has got to be the best manager of all time. He’s always responsive and willing to take the time to find a solution that works for everyone involved.
Hi Trevor,
“Best manager of all time” — that’s quite the endorsement!
Thank you for the 5 stars and for recognizing Nedy’s responsiveness and solution-oriented approach. Finding outcomes that work for everyone involved is exactly what great management looks like.
We’ll be sure Nedy sees your shout-out — he’ll appreciate it.

Negative experience: The people who work at H U D never answer the phone or call back. If the people have 48 hours to respond so if tomorrow it will be the 25th and I requested a call on the 21st. If they call me tomorrow it will be 72 hours.
Hi Stan,
I’m sorry you’ve been waiting for a callback. If you requested a call on the 21st and haven’t heard back, I understand how frustrating that would be — especially when you’re watching the clock.
We aim to return calls within a reasonable timeframe, and if that didn’t happen here, that’s something we need to address. We’re also in the process of updating how incoming calls are routed and tracked so responses happen more quickly and consistently.
We’d like to turn your one star into five — what can we do to make this right? Please email me directly at [email protected], and I’ll personally make sure your concern is reviewed and routed appropriately.

Fantastic experience: Our Community Manager, Melissa Nevarez, has provided excellent customer service to me. I’ve had multiple issues to resolve, and she taken care of each one in a way that far exceeded my expectations. Her response time to every communication from me has been immediate, often after hours. Melissa is the ultimate professional, and provides a level of customer service rarely seen today. Kevi Harrington Sunrise Villas Home Owners Association.
We LOVE to see it, Kevi! Sometimes our managers don’t get the recognition for the extra mile they take. Thank you for spotlighting Melissa and all her hard work!

Fantastic experience: I have been on two Scottsdale HOA Community Boards, as well as having exposure to many others in Maricopa County, and GUD Community Management is the finest group of talented, knowledgeable, supportive, and professional team members I have ever experienced. They come extremely highly recommended and rated by HOA community boards & community POA’s as well. So if you are looking for an exceptional HOA community manager, GUD IS IT; two truly phenomenal associates there are Joe Brown and Alex Ramirez who manage our El Paseo/McCormick Ranch area residential community.
Wow, Joe We are near speechless with that extremely rewarding review. Thank you for taking the time to let others know where we stand as a management company that strives to be the absolute best in its field.
Fantastic experience: Just the answer to prayers today. It was difficult being 84years, short, just getting over hip surgery and having to unroll window, and still open car door to put in gate code. I am really grateful to you for handling this issue promptly. Barbara Harte
Barbara, thank you so much for sharing this. We’re really glad we could help make things a little easier for you — especially while you’re recovering. It means a lot to hear that the issue was handled promptly. If you happen to know who assisted you, we’d love to pass along your kind words and give them the thanks they deserve.
Fantastic experience: Amazing management company and I've worked with many. Takes the work off the board members and manages the property exceptionally. El Paseo HOA.
Hi Shane,
We really appreciate the 5 stars — especially coming from someone who’s worked with many management companies. That perspective means a lot.
Taking the weight off board members and managing communities well is exactly what we aim to do. We’ll be sure Joe sees your shout-out for El Paseo!
—GUD Community Management
Negative experience: We have gone through a few different community management companies. We have yet to find one that truly cares about our community. Our grass and plants are always dying and the office never answers calls. I have spoken with many owners in the neighborhood and they all say the same. When we pay $255 a month we expect to live in a beautiful community that is well cared for. Unfortunately, GUD management hasn’t proven to be any different than our last. We deserve a company that will resolve ongoing issues and at the minimum answer our calls.
Thank you for the opportunity to connect with you, Nicole! We have improvements to make, and I look forward to positive follow up to come!
Negative experience: The person who finally helped me was helpful, but I have been trying to get help for a long time and in the end just paid fees that i feel were mostly due to change in company and received no help in trying to resolve the issue.
Hi Tanya,
I’m sorry this experience felt frustrating. I’m glad someone was eventually able to help, but I understand how difficult it can be when concerns seem tied to a management transition.
When a community changes management companies, account histories and balances are transferred to the new company, and we administer them based on the records received.
If you still need assistance, you’re welcome to reach out to me directly at [email protected].

Negative experience: I have lived in this community for two years, and these problems began immediately after I moved in. During my first annual inspection, I was notified that I would be fined for an in-wall dog door that was already present when I purchased the home. After researching, I confirmed the dog door had been installed by the original owner over 10 years ago and had gone unaddressed during inspections for more than a decade. Despite providing documentation and photo evidence, my request for approval was denied, and I was required to remove the door and pay for interior repairs. Although I was given only a short timeframe to respond to avoid fines, the repair process took nearly a year. Additionally, when a repair date was scheduled, I notified the community manager that I was unavailable and requested rescheduling. I received no response and had to contact another staff member to ensure the message was acknowledged. During the second annual inspection, residents were instructed to submit timestamped photos if they could not be present. Due to illness, I followed this instruction and emailed the photos to the community manager before the deadline, asking if anything further was needed. I received no response. On the day of the inspection, I received a notice stating I would be fined for not being present. When I immediately contacted the community manager, I was told the photos had to be sent in before a friday, which then replied that I complied with that. He said he must have missed that. Once again, I was at risk of a fine due to internal oversight rather than resident noncompliance. I have since contacted multiple representatives requesting that these issues be reviewed so other residents do not experience similar problems, but I have received no response. I know we are human and we make mistakes but multuple mistakes and very little communication is unprofessional. There needs to be more checks in place and accountability so this does not happen again.
Hi Tamara,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience so thoughtfully. I appreciate the care you took in explaining what happened, and I want to acknowledge it directly.
I’m sorry for the frustration you experienced. While the underlying requirements may not have changed, it’s clear there were breakdowns in communication and follow-through along the way, and that’s on us. You made good-faith efforts to comply, and the process should have been clearer, more consistent, and better coordinated.
Your feedback is being taken seriously and will be used to improve how we track alternate compliance submissions, manage handoffs between team members, and communicate with homeowners so situations like this don’t repeat.
So that I can follow through internally and make sure the right process improvements happen, it would be helpful to know the name of your community and which GUD team member(s) you were working with at the time. There’s no need to rehash details — this is simply for accountability and improvement on our end.
If you’re willing, you can send that information to me directly at [email protected].
Thank you again for raising this in the spirit of improvement, and for taking the time to share your perspective.

Fantastic experience: Deron Andrews my community manager has been extremely helpful it resolving a number of my recent issues. I'm going through a kitchen rebuild after a flood and need to have a trailer at my home for all the trash produced during this process. He's been helping keep me resolve the fines related. Another time I needed help reaching out to a home owner of a vacant home next-door, he was able to assist. I appreciate Deron for taking action on my behalf!
Hi Brandon,
Thank you for the 5 stars and for taking the time to share this. A kitchen rebuild after a flood is no small thing, and we’re glad Deron was able to step in, help navigate the trailer situation, and keep things moving while you focused on the bigger picture. It’s also great to hear he was able to assist with the neighboring property when you needed support.
We’ll be sure to pass your appreciation along to Deron. Thanks again for recognizing the effort.

Fantastic experience: Elizabeth was patient kind responsive professional because I was a nervous wreck. I had a problem setting up my auto payments didn't understand a couple of things, and she took her time checked my work as I was doing it, to make sure everything was set up properly and now my autopay is set up so I don't have to think about it.
Thank you so much for the 5 stars and for sharing this. Setting up auto-pay can be stressful, and we’re really glad Elizabeth took the time to walk through it with you, step by step, until everything felt clear and settled. That kind of patience and care makes all the difference — and now you don’t have to think about it anymore.

Hi Osia,
Thank you for the 5 stars! We’re glad Elizabeth was able to take care of all four questions across your properties so efficiently. Professional, timely follow-through makes a big difference, especially when managing multiple accounts, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
—GUD Community Management
Negative experience: Caution advised. In my experience, this property management company is either severely negligent or operates in a way that feels predatory. Numerous residents at the Landing at Mountain Park HOA have reported similar issues. They repeatedly change their auto-payment systems, forcing residents to re-enroll, and then impose late fees when payments are missed as a result. Late fees themselves are one thing—but placing liens on homes and effectively forcing residents to hire legal counsel after a single missed payment is completely unreasonable and unconscionable. Any HOA considering this company should proceed with extreme caution.
2/1/16: Hi Joseph,
First, to be clear, the situation referenced involved a different homeowner’s account, not yours. I want to be careful about privacy, so I wouldn’t share details if this related to your own account.
The lien you referenced was not placed after a single missed payment. It followed a transferred past-due balance, additional unpaid assessments, August and September 2026 are still unpaid, and required notices sent in advance, in accordance with the association’s governing documents and applicable law.
GUD Community Management does not independently decide to place liens or impose legal actions. Those steps are directed by the association’s elected Board and implemented only after required notice and timelines are met.
We understand that billing transitions, payment timing, and lien processes can feel overwhelming, especially when balances are carried over from prior management. That’s why we’ve escalated this account to senior leadership should the homeowner in question needs further information.
—Jim Newcomb, GUD Community Management
1/31/26: Hi Joseph,
Thank you for sharing your concerns. I want to let you know we’re reviewing the issues you raised so we can better understand what may have occurred.
To clarify one important point for context: GUD Community Management does not independently impose late fees, liens, or legal actions. Those steps, when they occur, are directed by the association’s elected Board and governed by the community’s governing documents and applicable law. Our role is to implement the Board’s decisions and ensure required notices and processes are followed.
I do want to note that a lien being placed after a single missed payment would be highly unusual and does not align with standard HOA processes or statutory requirements as we understand them. That’s one of the reasons I’d like to look more closely at what happened in this case.
Payment system transitions, communication timing, and owner experience matter — and if something didn’t work as it should have, we want to understand it.
If you’re open to it, please email me directly at [email protected] with any details you’re comfortable sharing. I’m happy to review the situation and provide clarity.

Fantastic experience: Working with Joe and Tamar at Gud Community Management has been an excellent experience. From day one, they’ve been professional, responsive, and genuinely easy to work with. At CNF Contracting, we really value partners who communicate clearly, stay organized, and respect timelines—and Joe and Tamar consistently deliver on all of that. They handle situations proactively, make coordination smooth, and clearly care about both their communities and the vendors they work with. It’s refreshing to work with a management team that’s collaborative, fair, and solution-oriented. We highly recommend Joe and Tamar and look forward to continuing our work together
Hi Joseph,
Thank you for the thoughtful 5-star review. We truly appreciate your kind words and the perspective from the vendor side — strong partnerships depend on clear communication, organization, and mutual respect, and it’s great to hear that came through in your experience.

Thank you, Kathy. We appreciate you recognizing Joe’s responsiveness and professionalism in working with both the Board and community members. That kind of steady communication really matters, and we’re glad it’s been your experience.
Negative experience: GUD is a horrible management company. They incorrectly billed me on two occasions, claimed they credited my account, and fined me for late fees after they switched payment systems in 2 out of the last 3 years. HOAs be extremely cautious with your members when considering them.
Hi there,
I’m sorry to read about your experience — billing issues and system transitions can be frustrating, especially when they affect late fees. That’s not the experience we want for any homeowner.
If there’s anything still outstanding or if you’d like me to take a closer look at what happened with your account, I’m happy to help. You’re welcome to email me directly at [email protected], and I’ll do my best to clarify what occurred and see what can be resolved.

Fantastic experience: Alex, you have always been the most kind and respectful person on the very first chat that you and I have done. Yes point of contact will be you and you only again it just sucks that you have somebody like that. That is in charge who is never ever available and the reason why is cause he does not want to talk to anybody again, I’ve got six families in my cul-de-sac that are infuriated with him because of his attitude the way he speaks to people the way he speaks down to people the way he somewhat yells at you. It’s disgusting and despicable. With that said I greatly appreciate you, Alex I think you very much and again you will be the only one I contact and you are obviously given a five star because of the way that you respect and communicate with people , unfortunately I understand that you can’t speak for anybody else but we’ll just leave that again so I appreciate you very very much Sean L..
Hi Sean,
Thank you for the 5 stars and for taking the time to share this. We’re glad Alex has been a consistent, respectful point of contact for you — professionalism and clear, understanding communication matter, especially when things feel frustrating. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words.

Fantastic experience: This morning I sent in my Homeowners form and asked what my account number was. First, I got an aknowledgment. A few hours later I received my account number and an email saying my form had been passed on to the proper person. If GUD is always this timely, they will be far super to any other management company that I have dealt with.

Negative experience: I found this at the entrance of your property Olive Grove Condominiums. A posted note for residents who currently can't afford enough food because the HOA fees were raised. I know my medical co-pays are difficult pay now. My daughter helps me with my copay because the HOA fees raised over 100 dollars this past year. We and most are on fixed incomes.I am not saying GUD management is the reason, but maybe you can help the 55 year old community and elderly.
Hi Janneth,
Thank you for taking the time to share this, and for doing so thoughtfully. We truly understand how difficult fee increases can be, especially for residents on fixed incomes, and we don’t take concerns like this lightly.
While GUD Community Management does not set HOA fees, we do work closely with Boards to provide financial data, options, and guidance so decisions are made with care and transparency. Ultimately, fee increases are approved by the elected Board to cover current operating costs and required reserves — they are never raised “just because.”
We hear your concern about the impact this has on residents, and we’re committed to supporting the Board with information and alternatives wherever possible. The most effective way for residents to influence these decisions is by attending Board meetings, sharing concerns during open forum, and staying engaged in the governance of the community.
—GUD Community Management
Negative experience: Olive grove condominiums 55 and up is a horrible place for us seniors on fixed incomes. We have people leaving, selling, getting out. On top of this place you have raised our HOA fees to 350 a month and we dont have amenities. If you call a room with goodwill furniture an amenities that laughable. You came in and right away raised our fees. Last week as I walked into the entrance at Olive Grove there was an old woman who couldn't afford food and left a note. In less than 3 years the fees have been raised over 150 dollars. That old woman can't pay her co-pay and has to choose now between meds and food by the end of the month. I dont know if your aware of the fact that you have lunatics on the HOA board for us. Two weeks ago a board member was yelling at an old lady because she unintentionally left some lint in the dryer. One more thing we have landscapers who were yelled at by the same board member. The HOA you have here at Olive Grove fired 3 Pride Managers over until they fired the whole company. The reason was the old HOA was holding the board accountable. I give GUD management less than 24 months. Now if GUD management doesn't hold the HOA in check because people are getting out. Then GUD management will be here forever. When new people who want to be on the board, but nobody wants to be on the board because you have a few lunatic board members GUD management will be let go as every property manager before you. Olive Grove Condos is not and has been a unwelcoming place. Merry Christmas GUD. Olive Grove is famous on social media. Wow have you realized how bad your HOA is.
Hi Mary,
I’m truly sorry to read how distressing your experience at Olive Grove has been. Concerns about affordability, neighbor interactions, and overall community culture are serious — especially in a 55+ community where many residents are on fixed incomes.
I do want to clarify one important point. GUD Community Management does not set HOA fees or raise assessments. Those decisions are made by the community’s elected Board of Directors, based on operating costs, insurance, utilities, maintenance obligations, and required reserve funding. Our role is to advise and implement the Board’s decisions — not direct them.
We absolutely understand how increases can feel overwhelming — particularly for residents on fixed incomes — and we do take those concerns seriously. We can provide boards with data, options, and guidance, but we cannot override board authority or individual board behavior. What we can do is help ensure resident concerns are documented, understood, and appropriately raised.
Issues involving board conduct, interactions with residents, or treatment of vendors are matters the Board itself must address. If residents are unhappy with how their community is being governed, the most effective way to create change is participation — attending meetings, submitting concerns in writing, or serving on the Board. That’s where accountability and policy decisions live.
I know emotions are high, and I’m sorry you’re feeling unheard. If you would like help understanding a specific decision, process, or option available to you, you’re welcome to email me directly at [email protected] and I’ll do my best to help clarify what I can.

Fantastic experience: GUD is a class act. I am so happy to have Joe as a representative. He is extremely knowledgeable and has a strong bias for action. I would like to give them 10 stars.
Hi Marty,
If Google allowed it, we’d happily take all 10 stars! Joe really does bring knowledge and a strong bias for action to everything he does, and we’re glad that showed up for you. Thanks for the great feedback — we’ll be sure to pass the kudos along to Joe.

Negative experience: I did not have a 5 star experience with these people. They are unkind and unfeeling money hungry.
Hi there,
I’m sorry to hear that this was your impression — that’s certainly not the experience we want anyone to have. While we’re required to follow the governing documents and direction of each community’s Board, we do care about treating people with respect and fairness.
If you’re open to it, I’d like to better understand what led to this experience and see if there’s anything we can help clarify or resolve. You’re welcome to email me directly at [email protected], and I’ll do my best to assist.

Fantastic experience: We were afforded an extension for gate repairs.
Hi Liz,
You're gate looks great! Thanks for the 5 stars! We’re glad the extension helped and that we could support you with the gate repairs.
—GUD Community Management
Negative experience: My experience has not been positive. I. Short I leave voicemail because I can never get to talk to the person in charge (Mary) but also it seems that they never return emails or phone calls…. But are very quick to send you an email if it involves a violation.
Hi — I’m sorry to hear this has been your experience. That’s not the level of communication we aim for. While compliance notices do go out on a set schedule, calls and emails should always be returned, and I understand how frustrating it can feel when that doesn’t happen. If there’s anything outstanding or something you’d like help with, please email me directly at [email protected] and I’ll help make sure your concern is addressed.
—Jim Newcomb, on behalf of GUD Community Management
Fantastic experience: I have worked with several community management companies as a board member and GUD Community Management is the best by far. Our Manager, Joe Brown, has really been amazing. He is professional and always ready to assist us. This company has really raised the bar for community management. - Bill Hagemeyer Villa Lafayette
Hi Bill,
What a fantastic review — thank you. Joe really is something special, and it means a lot to hear how much you value his support and professionalism. We’ll make sure he sees your message. Villa Lafayette has been a great partner, and we’re grateful to work alongside you.

Fantastic experience: Prompt response from Mandy Ramirez at GUD Management! Jesiel Ocampo helped resolve login issues with my portal! Awesome team!
We appreciate you, Dhanya!
Fantastic experience: One of the best property managers in the valley. I love working with Nedy! Very open minded and always looking to improve a community's visual appeal! A person that can communicate with his vendor's.
Hi Jonathan,
Really appreciate the 5 stars and that you love working with Nedy. He's a man of many talents! We’ll be sure to pass your kudos along — thank you again for taking the time to share it!
—GUD Community Management
Positive experience: Our HOA has been under GUD management since August. We are still working out some things, especially on our architectural committee side, but Joe has been so easy to work with. He listens and reviews things which is so helpful, especially dealing with the different board and architectural committee personalities. He is stellar! The other day he and I rode around with Ryan to do the monthly inspection. Ryan explained how your systems works, which is so helpful. As a long time AC member as well as a former board member, and an original owner in his HOA, it was great to talk to both Joe and Ryan about our commonalities and slight differences regarding CCR violations. It is helping put us on the same page so we can path forward and help our homeowners understand that, although management companies have changed, the way we look at violations is a learning experience that will benefit all of us. Some things Ryan looks at do not fit in this 40 year old community but gaining the understanding together will give comfort to homeowners. Right now, it's early in the change that many homeowners are not comfortable with the change, but working together with Ryan and Joe will hopefully gain owners confidence and support.
Hi Gary & Deb,
Thank you for such a thoughtful review. Joe and Ryan will be thrilled to hear how much you appreciated the time spent together — especially the ride-along and the chance to talk through how inspections and architectural processes work. That kind of collaboration is exactly what helps bridge the gap during a management transition.
It means a lot to hear that their communication, listening, and willingness to work through the nuances of a long-established community made things clearer and more comfortable. Every HOA has its own history and rhythms, and partnering with engaged Board and AC members like you makes the path forward that much smoother.
We truly appreciate your openness and teamwork as we help the community navigate these early stages of change. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience — and for the trust you’ve placed in Joe, Ryan, and GUD.

Negative experience: If you want a management company that never answers their phones, returns messages, and takes months to action new business issued by your local community boards--sign right up. I will be petitioning to actively replace this mgmt company asap for our hoa.
Hi Matthew,
I’m sorry to hear this has been your experience — that’s not the level of responsiveness we aim for. If there are outstanding issues or requests that haven’t been addressed, I’m happy to help get them moving.

Negative experience: GUD has not addressed my roof leak. After 2 month’s and countless emails, no work has been done. You want to believe that your condo management company works for you. My vote would be to fire GUD Community Management.
Hi Daniel,
I’m sorry to hear you’re still dealing with this — a roof issue is never something we want anyone waiting on. I did see the photo of the ceiling stain, but I want to make sure I fully understand the situation.
Can you confirm whether there is an active leak, or if the roof repair was completed and the stain is what remains to be addressed? That will help me understand the situation.
If you could please send your full name, community name and unit number to [email protected], I’ll dig into this personally and make sure it gets on track.
—Jim Newcomb, on behalf of GUD Community Management
Negative experience: they never return phone calls or respond to your emails. Like many companies in our great country, PATHETIC !!!!!!!!!!!
Hi David,
I’m sorry to hear you haven’t received a call back. That’s not the experience we want anyone to have. Please email me directly at [email protected], and I’ll make sure your concern reaches the right person on Monday, unless it's something I can answer for you.
—Jim Newcomb, on behalf of GUD Community Management
Fantastic experience: I had a leak and GUD called me and had a plumber out within an HOUR. Can you believe that? Insanely good customer service response. Joe specifically is handling my situation and he’s been a star thru the whole process.
Hi Jimbob,
Wow! Getting a plumber out within an hour is exactly the kind of response we aim for — trying to arrange that on your own could have been a whole different story. We’re glad Joe stayed right with you through the entire process and made everything move smoothly. Thanks for sharing your experience — we’ll make sure he sees the kudos!

Negative experience: I live in Villas Mesa 2, and I was told that the HOA fee was due the 16th by our property manager Dustin Snow, and come to find out, after several delinquent fees, the HOA was actually due on the 15th of every month. Dustin has approved SOME of the delinquent fees to be waived, but he has failed to respond to my emails regarding 2 other delinquent fees (Nov. 2013 and March 2014) that need to be waived. The most recent was for August, 2015. I had the automatic payment set up for the 15th, but was still charged a $15 delinquent fee. So, now I have a total of 3 delinquent fees that have accrued, $45, and need to be waived. Not sure what else to do. Once this issue is addressed, I will update. Also, our roads are just absolutely horrible here. We have so many pot holes, and the rain makes it even worse. The red paint for the fire lane is fainted, we have several dead cactuses in the back of the community, along the wall. When I asked about it during our HOA meeting, 8/25/25, she said “we don’t have the money.” It makes the community look so run down. The community (people who live here), are actually great, but visually, it is not appealing and is lacking the care that it desperately needs. Instead, they focus on towing people’s cars, the color of our umbrellas on our patios, food not being allowed at the pool, etc. We need a real solution on how we can improve the community, and not go around in circles, with excuses. UPDATE:9/12/25 Dustin, the property manager, has kindly removed all late fees. Thank you so much, I greatly appreciate it. UPDATE 11/22/25. I have emailed both Dustin Snow and Rebecca Patrizzo, several times, regarding having a roof leak, and for an update on roof inspection and repair. They BOTH have FAILED to respond to me. This is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable, as a paying HOA homeowner. It has been raining for several days again, and I continue to have roof leaks. Poor management, poor communication, poor team, poor financial management, just to name a few. Also, We were charged a special assessment fee of over $1,000, for landscaping project. The project is INCOMPLETE. Rebecca has now stated that our monthly HOA fees will increase by $10, due to water. There have been water leaks throughout the community all year, due to poor quality of landscaping assessments. I am beyond frustrated with this community, something has got to be done !!
Thank you for reaching out to express your concerns, Chelsei! We will be connecting with you to address these and hopefully come to a reasonable resolution!
Fantastic experience: Mandy was so helpful walking me through how to set up auto paying my HOA fees. She provided outstanding customer service, and followed through with me via numerous emails until I had no more questions!
You are so kind, Tracey! Thank you providing such a kind review!
Fantastic experience: Answered her phone, very pleasant & professional in asnswering & offering needed info + followed up with additional needed info for required real estate documemts in an email
Hi Susan,

Fantastic experience: Have not dealt a lot with this company yet but from what I see they are very patient and kind in regards to helping me set things up as new HOA management. This new HOA company now has really been helpful in trying to fix HOA issues and willing to talk about problems especially Melissa.
You are so kind, Patsy! We strive to provide our homeowners a great experience.
Negative experience: I would like to correct the false assertions against me from GUD Management owned by Jonathan Brown. The statement from GUD responding to my Google review claiming that "We (GUD) have received more than 100 emails and calls from you within the last week" is not only false but offensive. I request GUD correct the false public claims against me. I have the signed contract and correspondence to show GUD Community Management is obligated to perform duties beyond accounting services. Despite the signed contract GUD is claiming: "Per company policy, we do not email items pertaining to records requests." GUD Owner Jonathan Brown said via email "we only provide accounting services", despite signing a contract and agreeing to be paid for more service including "Managing Homeowner communication" and MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT for "individual Homeowner records..." Per the contract signed by Jonathan Brown of GUD Management: "V. GENERAL MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT: I. Maintain corporate records, individual Homeowner records, and lot file records for Association. II. Manage Homeowner communication and Association updates through mailings, email, and texting. III. Manager to provide after-hours and weekend emergency phone line for urgent matters." Owners from our community are also having trouble getting our HOA documents from GUD. Does anyone have suggestions for working with GUD or another number to reach someone at GUD?
Del, we wish you the best in your future.
Fantastic experience: Mandy helped me very quickly with my gate key replacement and e-mailed info on setting up my bank for my HOA payment......very efficient and friendly. I enjoyed working with her!

Fantastic experience: GUD Community management is GREAT!! Our community has been managed by 4 different companies in the 17 years that we have lived here and I can honestly say without a doubt that Mary Chaira is the most attentive, caring, and responsive manager that our community has ever had. I have communicated with her on several occasions about parking requests and community related items and I have been able to reach her quickly both via phone and email. She pays attention to our community and we are lucky to have her guiding our board in the right direction. Keep up the great work. It is noticed.
Hi Dan,
Wow — what a fantastic message. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. Mary truly goes above and beyond for her communities, and it means a lot that you took the time to share your experience. Thanks for the kind words and for being part of a great community.

Negative experience: Trash HOA- don’t even botherGUD Community Management leaves much to be desired regarding properly managing the communities that they serve. I have been dealing with loud upstairs neighbors for a majority of the 2 years I have lived in my complex. These neighbors are self absorbed and don’t care about anyone but themselves. I reached out to both Stephanie and Jonathan, the owner of GUD Community Management to get this issue resolved. Instead of resolution, my problem was swept under the rug, never to be dealt with again. When talking to them about the complaint, I stated the specific noise violation as it appears in our CC&R’s and was told that this community has no restrictions for what kind of flooring surface can be used in 2nd and 3rd floor units(in my case, my neighbors have wood plank with ZERO soundproofing underneath, which means I hear everything. Footsteps, talking, shouting, banging, doors being slammed shut, etc. These people will put on hiking boots and stomp all over their floor, day in, day out, every single day. It is absolutely ridiculous for one that there are no restrictions regarding floor surfaces, as all 2nd and 3rd floor units should be required to have carpet so that these issues don’t persist. Also, they don’t require the 2nd and 3rd floor owners to have any kind of soundproofing underneath their floors, which means impact noise is painfully loud in the Sunrise Springs Condominium complex. I will not fault GUD specifically for this issue, as these were the rules before they took over our community, but what’s stopping them from changing that? You can’t have rules in the CC&R’s restricting excessive noise, and then allow nuisances like this one to exist at the same time, it’s just not fair. I’m convinced that everyone who lives in 1st floor units at this complex probably hate their lives as much as I do, considering we have zero privacy, no peace and quiet, and no resolution or change in sight for those dealing with this same issue.Throughout the process of reporting this inappropriate behavior, I was not made a priority, as it sometimes took Stephanie(community manager), days, weeks, sometimes 2 or 3 emails in a ROW just to get a response. This lack of communication and refusal to do anything about my complaint, is why you guys get 1/5 stars. Home is supposed to be a safe space for everyone, free of intrusions of any kind. I have not been happy here, and it makes me all the more angry that this is a problem that can be easily fixed- either tell my neighbors to be quiet and if they don’t, PENALIZE them, don’t let them keep getting away with it. The lack of professionalism on GUD’s part is most likely why you guys don’t have a solid 5 star review base here. Because of GUD’s apparent lack of ability to do anything regarding this issue, I am now left with the only option of seeking resolution through law enforcement, as going forward I will be calling the police every time these neighbors are excessively loud.Speaking of the lack of communication, we have been undergoing a very expensive special assessment this year for the replacement of all our roofs. We have gotten very minimal updates as to where this project stands, how far it’s come, when it’s expected to be completed, as this project has taken place over the course of 2025, and it is still incomplete. I am aware that we still have another 2 months in the year, but with not even half the roofs being complete, I am worried that our expensive dues for this project are going to go to waste. If you don’t keep your community updated on important matters like this, we sit in the dark wondering what’s actually going on. The sheer unprofessionalism of GUD makes me never want to live in a condo again, much less with an HOA. You guys have proved to me that you are alike every other management company out there: shady, for profit only, and the important matters of your community members are clearly the last in the list of your priorities.If GUD can come back, resolve these problems, fix their lack of communication, then maybe I’ll edit this review.
Hi Alex, I reviewed the roofing project and the full email thread about the noise issue between you, our Community Manager, and the company owner, and found that your inquiries were handled promptly, professionally, and with legal guidance. The CC&Rs for your community do not restrict flooring type or require soundproofing, which limits enforcement options. The roofing project has been managed transparently with regular resident updates, photos, and progress reports. Sunrise Springs remains a beautiful gated community with water features, a pool, and BBQ areas—though shared-wall living can come with some unavoidable noise. We take all homeowner concerns seriously and address them within HOA policy and Arizona law.

Fantastic experience: Been in Morning Sun Farms for 8 yrs now finally received a $50 fine but I was at fault sooo shame on me- very nice looking neighborhood that’s why I purchased this house… Have a Great Weekend everyone Robbie
Thank you, Robert, for the candid review! We are doing our best to ensure your community maintains its beauty.
Negative experience: Our HOA dealt with major issues under GUD’s management, including unpaid vendor bills, poor communication, and a clear failure to uphold their contractual obligations. These problems left our community in a difficult position that we are now working to resolve through other channels. I would not recommend this company — in fact, I wouldn’t trust Melissa Nevarez or Michele Lockhart to manage a sandbox, let alone an entire community.
Thank you, Daniel, for your feedback. Managing a community that does not have sufficient funding to maintain its obligations is no small task. Education to the association on lack of funding fell on deaf ears for far too long. We are glad that people like you are in the driver’s seat now to make change happen. While we are being unfairly framed as a scapegoat in this scenario, we do wish your community the absolute best in the future.
Fantastic experience: The GUD team is great, working with Joe has been amazing, Professional, on time and very knowledgeable. Thanks so much and would scream it from a mountain top -definitely recommend!
Say it louder for people in the back, Adam! We appreciate the great feedback!
Fantastic experience: It was great meeting with their team! I can see that they truly care about the service they provide, I am looking forward to working with them more!
Rock star, D’Angelo!
Positive experience: It is time that google should start thinking about zero stars as an option. They took over the HOA management from an existing company and you couldn't have a worst experience than this. There is no option to download HOA statement from their portal and their website doesn't have any details. No response to any calls or emails for several weeks. The phone calls directly goes to voicemail. Not sure how are they still even operating as HOA "management" company with so many operational issues. Aug 2025 update: I got a call from management and all my issues have been taken care of now. They are listening. They probably had few glitches initially from the take over. I am changing my review to 4 stars now. Hopefully, they stay on top of their issues in future.
Thank you, Dileepan, for the opportunity to address your concerns. You are an awesome homeowner, and we are glad that we get to work with people like yourself!
Negative experience: As a homeowner with the Felicia Community....GUD DID NOT pay our master policy premiums in late 2024, despite ample funds in HOA accounts. The policy was cancelled and owners were not told for months. This is a clear breach of fiduciary duty.
Thank you, Donnel, for your review. While we do not agree with your statements, we wish your community the absolute best.
Negative experience: GUD Community Management failed to fulfill their fiduciary and contractual duties to Felicia Apartment Association by not paying the monthly premiums for the Association’s master insurance policy with American Family Insurance in late 2024. Despite ample funds in both the operating and reserve accounts, GUD allowed three months of premiums to go unpaid. The policy was cancelled on January 14, 2025. GUD received multiple late payment and cancellation notices but did not act, even though it was their contract duty to pay the premiums. They did not notify the Board or association owners of the cancellation, instead chose to lie or deny even when it was discovered by one owner who was selling his unit. This created an uninsured period of over four months where GUD deliberately withheld the fact the Felicia master policy was cancelled for nonpayment of premiums by GUD and it left Felicia HOA vulnerable to significant financial and insurance risks and losses. GUD is not to be trusted, if you're considering hiring them, think again, by the time they've done something like this to your association, it will be too late and GUD will deny, deny, deny.
Thank you for reaching out, Janet. We appreciate the feedback, albeit misguided and untrue. We wish your community the best.
