    HOA Isn’t the Problem. Communication Is. (And how a podcast is changing that)
    May 18 2026

    HOA's have gotten a bad rap. From nit-picking "Karens" to unseemly rules, often times they are viewed as thorn in the side of many home owners. But Cory Neubauer of NEXTIER Insurance has a different take: most of the frustration comes from miscommunication and a reactive mindset.
    In this episode, Cory Neubauer, from NEXTIER Insurance, explains why he branded his podcast *Next Level Living* instead of leading with “HOA,” and how the podcast helps communities take a proactive, solutions-first approach that benefits everyone in their community.

    In this episode:
    - Why “HOA” branding makes people cringe (and how Cory reframed it)
    - Proactive vs reactive community leadership
    - How board members can make better decisions with clear info
    - The “un-HOA your HOA” idea Cory wants to build next
