New Property Manager for Brookshire

To Residents of Brookshire HOA,

Happy New Years to each of you and your families. I am reaching out to inform you of some changes
that are taking place with our community here in Brookshire as it pertains to our Property Management
Company who we work with. Two years ago, we switched property management companies, from
CMA-Community Management Assoc. to our recent property management company, Homeside
Properties. During that transition and the last two years we worked with Julie Porche as our point of
contact for any communications, concerns, violations, questions on dues…. Etc. As of today we have a
new direct contact as our Property Manager with Homeside Properties. I am excited to announce and
welcome Ashleigh Ronan as our Property Manager with Homeside Properties.

Ashleigh’s contact information


I believe that Ashleigh Ronan is the right person for our community. Please reach out for any questions
or concerns. With that being said… I understand there has been some inquiries regarding HOA DUES.
We have an email blast going out in the next day or so and the Dues Invoice will be mailed out within
the week. We also ask for everyone to reach out and email Ashleigh with everyone’s updated contact
information. Please include Name (first and last), Address, Best Phone Number, and EMAIL ADDRESS.
This will allow us to communicate better to you. Thank you for your patience during this process and as
always, if you need anything from the Board of Directors, please contact us through
[email protected]. We wish you all the best and healthy 2021.

Thank you,

Stephen Klein
Brookshire HOA, President

Verizon intends to install a large cell pole in Brookshire

Verizon plans to install a tall cell pole in the Brookshire neighborhood.  They will be replacing an existing 16’ decorative light pole with a 29’ cell pole.  The City of Woodstock has tried to fight back, but legislation allows the State of Georgia to override the City.  Therefore, if we want to fight this – we must fight from a customer or citizen standpoint. 

Pros – better cell service for Verizon customers

Cons – location is in front and in between two residential homes; the height of this pole at 29’ will not allow for it to blend in but will stand out; neighbors may not be happy to have it installed.

               This will ONLY benefit Verizon and their customers; not the community as a whole.

We only have about 2 weeks to act.
