What is Hey Neighbor?

HOA life isn’t just about bylaws and board meetings, it’s about building something real.

Welcome to Hey Neighbor, the podcast for homeowners, board members, and community leaders who want more than just rules. They want connection, clarity, and a community that actually works.

Our mission is to help you unlock the full potential of your neighborhood, whether you’re navigating conflict, leading with purpose, or just trying to figure out what those HOA fees actually cover. If you care about where you live, and who you live next to, this is your space.

Hosted by community expert Denise Haas, Hey Neighbor dives into the real stories and behind-the-scenes truths of HOA life. Each episode, we explore the issues no one talks about but everyone deals with, from neighbor disputes and boardroom drama to financial transparency and shared wins.

Whether you're new to HOA life or a seasoned board member ready for change, this is where real talk meets real solutions - with just enough laughs along the way.
