Homeowner FAQs
Started in 1996, Florida Association of Homeowners (FAH) is a statewide benefits organization for homeowners. Our goal is to unite homeowners in the Sunshine State under one umbrella, and to provide an array of convenient, money-saving benefits that you, our member, can use everyday. Your FAH membership will also help to give us a strong voice at state level to address issues of major concern to all homeowners in the state, as well as giving us the strength that we need to continue negotiating with vendors for additional benefits and services for you.
Homeowners represent the largest and fastest growing consumer group in the state of Florida, and prior to the formation of FAH had no statewide organization.
As the only statewide benefits organization for homeowners, our mission is to:
- Unite the buying powers of Florida homeowners under one umbrella
- Provide practical and tangible benefits that our members can use everyday
- Provide information on issues that are important to homeowners in this state
- Be the eyes and ears for homeowners at state level - United and Strong!
Membership in FAH is open to all current homeowners in the state. This includes, owners of houses, condominiums and manufactured homes. Future homeowners may also join FAH. Our Business Membership is open to companies that possess a strong commitment to providing quality products and services, and have a solid reputation for high integrity and ethical business practices.
A voice at state level
There is strength in numbers, and your FAH membership will help to give us a strong voice at state level to address issues of major concern to all homeowners. It is only through a large and supportive coalition that these goals can be met.
Collective bargaining
Your FAH membership will also enable us to negotiate the best possible deals with various vendors and service providers, on your behalf. In most cases, these efforts produce substantial savings and exclusive offers which are then passed on to you. Use any of our many convenient and money-saving benefits only a few times and your membership could pay for itself many times over.
Reduce your chances of getting ripped off
Through our strict requirements and pre-screening process for business membership, we try to lessen the likelihood of you hiring an unqualified or disreputable company to do work at your home. Of course, no system is perfect, but we try to take careful steps to ensure that only the most qualified and reputable professionals are referred to you.
Florida Association of Homeowners is completely different from your neighborhood HOA in these important ways:
- FAH is a private membership network. We are not a regulatory or political organization. Think of us as the "Triple A" (AAA) for homeowners.
- FAH focuses on providing practical and tangible benefits that our members can use right away, as well as being a unified voice for homeowners at state level.
- FAH’s mission is statewide in its scope, benefiting all members, regardless of their location.
- As far as we are aware, FAH is the only independent organization in Florida that represents the common interests of homeowners across the state.
