Saint Helena Park Association (SHPA) has two rules for realtors that
serve both to make real estate transactions here more efficient, and to minimize
irritation and inconvenience to our members:
1 - Documents
SHPA employs the firm of
Eugene Burger Management
Corporation
(in nearby Rohnert Park) to serve as Custodian of Records. For all required and
requested documents and paperwork in real estate transactions, realtors are
instructed to contact only EBMC (and not SHPA members or officers).
Your contact person at EBMC is:
Ms. Sally Allred
Eugene Burger Management Corp.
6600 Hunter Drive
Rohnert Park, Ca. 94928
2 - "For Sale" Signs

This sign policy pertains to all signs associated with an individual Unit, which
includes, but is not limited to, the sale or lease of a Unit or a
contractor sign advertising work in progress at the Unit.

taller than three and one half feet (3 1/2'). This frame can be installed
by simply pushing the metal stake at the bottom of the sign
into the ground.

All sale signs must be removed within three days after close of escrow or
signing of a lease or at the completion of construction.
