A Message from
My name is Tim Sheahan and I own a manufactured home at Springdale Estates (formerly Villa Vista Estates) on South Santa Fe Avenue in San Marcos.
I’ve been a member of the SMMRA Board since 1996 and served previously as SMMRA president from 1997-2000. My involvement with homeowner advocacy at the local level led to extensive involvement at the regional, state and national levels in the ensuing years and continues today. I have volunteered over 50,000 hours in serving MH owners since 1996.
My second stint as SMMRA president brings my volunteer service full-circle and was a reminder that 2019 is the twentieth anniversary of one of SMMRA’s major accomplishments; convincing the City of San Marcos to restore “vacancy control” to prohibit rent increases when MHs subject to the rent ordinance are sold, which can preserve tens of thousands of dollars in value when you sell your home. Here is a link to a few articles and documents from that effort: 1999_Vacancy_Control_Victory.pdf.
Every level of advocacy, from an individual MH community Homeowner Association (HOA) to our national group, it crucial that we maintain effective advocacy and networking at all levels. Grassroot organizing and homeowner involvement is vital in protecting our rights! The Union movement is the model we follow, with a strength of numbers and speaking with one voice in representing our constituencies.
