As a longtime real estate professional and community advocate, I am eager to bring my expertise and leadership to serve our neighborhood.
With over 30 years as a licensed California Real Estate Broker, I have a deep understanding of property values, homeowner rights, and effective community management. I also own and operate a real estate transaction coordination services company, providing me with extensive experience in streamlining processes, maintaining compliance, and ensuring financial accountability.
Beyond real estate, I have spent the past decade creating and directing a nonprofit organization, reinforcing my commitment to community service, strategic planning, and financial oversight. My background in real estate software development further equips me to implement technology solutions that improve efficiency, communication, and transparency within our HOA. Additionally, my strong negotiation skills will help ensure that homeowners’ best interests are always prioritized.
If elected, my primary goal is to enhance transparency, fiscal responsibility, and the overall quality of life in our community. One key initiative I plan to introduce is MyMysticPoint.com, a private online platform that will provide homeowners with direct access to all financial documents—something that the current PropertyAdvantage portal lacks. Transparency is critical, and homeowners deserve easy access to financial records without unnecessary obstacles.
Key Agenda Items:
• Leadership Accountability: Advocate for the replacement of the current board president to ensure ethical and qualified leadership.
• Financial Responsibility: Reevaluate and renegotiate landscaping and vendor contracts to ensure fair pricing and quality service.
• Management Improvements: Assess and, if necessary, replace the property management company to improve responsiveness and transparency.
• Community Engagement: Foster a respectful and professional approach to addressing homeowner concerns, ensuring that all voices are heard and valued.
Mystic Point is a wonderful community, and with the right leadership, we can create a more transparent, well-managed, and homeowner-focused HOA. I would be honored to have your support and the opportunity to serve.
Why I Am Running
I am running for the HOA Board to restore trust, accountability, and fairness in how our community is managed. Homeowners deserve leadership that prioritizes their best interests, not power or personal agendas. Key concerns include:

Additionally, in a small claims court case involving a Mystic Point homeowner and the HOA, an impartial judge described our current Board president as ‘unempathetic’ to HOA members and ‘unqualified to be on the Board.’ This individual not only remains on the Board but holds the most influential position. If elected, I will approach all board members—including the Board president—with professionalism and a willingness to collaborate. I believe that productive discussions and differing perspectives, when handled respectfully, lead to the best decisions for our community.
How My Legal Background Will Benefit the HOA
As a licensed California attorney with an accounting background, I have the skills to navigate contracts, identify wasteful spending, and demand transparency. I will ensure:

A Vote for Me is a Vote for Transparency and Accountability
Mystic Point deserves an HOA Board that listens to homeowners, makes responsible financial decisions, and fosters a positive community. If you’re tired of rising fees, lack of transparency, and leadership that does not represent you, I ask for your vote. Together, we can make Mystic Point a place we are all proud to call home.
We believe the current dynamic of the board needs a serious shift. Numerous decisions made by the existing members have directly impacted both our home values and our quality of life.

We believe the current dynamic of the board needs a serious shift. Numerous decisions made by the existing members have directly impacted both our home values and our quality of life. For too long, the board has operated outside the boundaries of the CC&Rs, engaging in frivolous and costly lawsuits against homeowners, often without offering opportunities for appeal or mediation. Resources have been wasted on vanity projects, while legal counsel has been used more as a weapon than a guide.
Meanwhile, our financial reserves are dangerously low. Critical infrastructure, such as the outdated fire panel system, has been neglected. Instead of addressing these pressing safety issues, the board prioritizes cosmetic projects.
Our community has unfortunately developed a poor reputation due to mismanagement. Vendors have refused to work with the current board president, and realtors are actively warning potential buyers away, damaging our property values even further.
Here are just a few examples of unnecessary and wasteful spending:
To restore transparency, fiscal responsibility, and trust, we must change the current balance of power. This means electing two new board members who will prioritize the community’s needs over personal agendas.
Do not vote for Michael Cartabiano or Aaron Dunser, both of whom are part of the current board, unless you are satisfied with the way things are being managed.
Let's take our community in a better direction, together.

Like Christine, I am against the ADU project in the sense of any architectural changes to the exterior of the unit that effect our home values. I am, however, supportive of our rights as homeowners based on the laws of the state, county and city. After careful research, I believe that the ADU might have some legal grounding and I do not want to have to pay a special assessment unless we are positive we will win this case which I assume is going to be VERY COSTLY. The board, regardless of who is elected, will not get to decide what Mr. Hardesty can and cannot do on the interior of his home. The only thing the board can control is what the ADU will look like from the outside and if it will infringe on the structural elements or the utilities.
I think the legal team is the one who should be updating us with the information we seek. At the very least, have an opportunity to sit down with Mr. Hardesty to hear his case and have a mature conversation. In our CC&RS it makes it pretty clear that mediation should always be the first option over litigation.
That said, we do not have the reserve funds to pay for this lawsuit. As a matter of fact, our HOA is in a financial crisis and can’t even afford to cover current maintenance. We have a situation currently that I cannot discuss on this platform that will likely affect our Insurance policies.

I am opposed to the ADU project and believe we should challenge it to the fullest extent permitted by law, including litigation, if necessary. However, if it becomes clear that the ADU project is likely to prevail, we should pivot to mediation in order to negotiate and implement reasonable, legally compliant restrictions. This approach serves as a cost-mitigation strategy—protecting homeowners from a potential special assessment and preserving our reserve funds from being depleted by prolonged and costly litigation. Ultimately, if the law favors the ADU project, our best and only recourse may be to secure the most reasonable terms possible through negotiation.

I think they are a waste of time for homeowners to attend. We should have enough confidence in our board to make intelligent financial decisions and uphold the CC&RS without sitting through hours of babble. The meeting minutes should have a quick summary of the board decisions and correctly indicate who voted yes or no to action items.
Of course, board meetings should always be open to attend, especially when a homeowner has a specific issue they would like to address. Again, all of us have a right to be heard.
Tami Malm
I am fully prepared to stand up and defend every homeowner against the oppressive behavior of the current board president and her husband. Their bullying, harassment, and intimidation tactics toward anyone who challenges them are unacceptable. I will not be intimidated, and I will proudly be the voice for any homeowner who needs support.

Response to Shane Pfaff
Hi Shane — I know your post on Facebook was meant to be humorous, but I do want to offer a little context since it’s clear not everyone knows what actually happened.
The meeting that day was a pre-planned resident gathering to talk about the fence project, nothing official, just neighbors trying to have a voice. As was I was walking towards the meeting, I could hear the HOA board president was already speaking loudly and harshly to some of our elderly homeowners, despite her not being invited to the meeting. That surprised a lot of us, especially since she and her husband had left her children at the pool to join. Only four homeowners attended that meeting, and two of them have since sold their homes and moved away, unable to tolerate the toxic environment any longer.
Yes, I spoke up, not to create drama, but to set a boundary that many people in this community feel has been repeatedly crossed. The interaction was firm, not personal. I stayed to calmly explain why that behavior wasn’t appropriate, especially when the goal was open dialogue between residents.
I totally get that things can look different from the outside, but it’s important we don’t let sarcasm overshadow what are actually serious concerns about communication and respect within our community.
