The insider scoop (June 2025): When the soon-departing Board and its bad management learned we had secured +90% of the votes needed for their removal, they retaliated with targeted violations against the proposed new Board Members and a desperate email attack against one of our collaborators, Doug.

Do you remember when you paid about $200/month, just a few years ago?

The current board spends $170,000/year in landscaping and our common areas have never been worse:

They have tripled our condo fee, but where is your money going?

These are your lake views

Our community is neglected

...yet we are paying
the most money ever

Testimonials from residents:

We're reporting all abuses and illegalities to the authorities.

Tradewinds Board signed a $10.5 million predatory contract

...for "repairs" we can't even prove we need - based on an incomplete inspection
that recommended further investigation, which was never done.

🚨 This MASSIVE liability was signed without owners' approval or consultation

And the bank required them to get majority owner approval

Then, they applied for an $11 million dollar bank loan behind your back

...so they coerced owners to vote in favor with emails like the following:

From Valenne Gonzalez
(now Valenne Torres)

Deceiving us into voting in their favor, saying:
"each owner will be responsible for paying an estimated amount of $25,000 in two monthly installments"

Tradewinds needs new management.

The new Board of Directors will make sure that money is not squandered and problems get fixed in a timely manner.
We will make sure that management is professional and polite to homeowners and renters. We will go after transparency and integrity above all, and make Tradewinds a beautiful, thriving community once again.

Vote to Recall the Board:

To fix our community we must change the Board of Directors

We, the owners of Tradewinds condos, have been trying to inform our fellow owners about this, but we have been illegally denied access to each other's contact information.

Italo Arias and the board do not comply with Florida Statutes § 718.111(12)(c) requiring that records: "Be open for inspection by members or their representatives at reasonable times. Be made available within 10 working days of a written request."
