A legacy of protecting and empowering community associations

A record of safeguarding community associations with integrity

With over 17 years uncovering wrongdoing and advocating for owners, Common Interest Advisors, LLC was founded in April 2021 to bring independent, expert oversight to community associations nationwide. From our earliest engagement at Chicago’s iconic John Hancock Center, our proven approach has uncovered sham reserve studies, referred corrupt professionals, exposed financial misconduct, and delivered unchallenged expert testimony in critical legal cases.

Our trusted guidance empowers boards and owners—restoring transparency, enforcing accountability, and helping communities thrive for the long term.
