Buckley Towers HOA North Miami Beach 1321 Miami Gardens Drive Buckley Towers condo association Housing discrimination, breaking fair housing laws, rude, inept, deceptive, dishonest North Miami Beach FL

Attempting to purchase a condo is a horrendously extensive, unnecessary process. Steer completely clear of Buckley Towers & the H.O.A. After recently moving from the West Coast to S Florida for work, I decided to purchase a small unit (non conventional/all cash). My offer was accepted by the owner & we then waited for "approval" from the H.O.A. I found them to be very rude. I was told not to call to even ask a question before 45 days passed as if they are assisting me; when I am purchasing the property. A question arose regarding a service elevator, I called & was told "they're in a meeting". I received the same answer EVERY time I called. I finally asked my broker's office to assist me in contacting the HOA & they were told "they're in a meeting". **They require 6 months of H.O.A fees (in escrow) which was also held while waiting in corporate housing, while they clearly take their time.** The bottom line: The HOA is SUPPOSED to work for the owners, but the Buckley Towers H.O.A appears to be working for themselves. The management is rude, & grossly inconsiderate of buyers, sellers, & realtors time or money. I've never experienced anything like this & am writing this to warn anyone else. Take your hard earned money elsewhere! There are reasonably priced condos in the area without the disgraceful behavior. I suspect the "cherry picking" of tenants which is a clear violation of the fair housing act & will be reported accordingly.
