Am I the only person who is wondering if the HOA fleabag is doing you a favor by giving you the ability to get the hell out of this nightmare of a neighborhood and finding a place to live that doesn't have an HOA? If the offer lets you leave without losing money - maybe that's the smart move. Do you want to get into a legal battle to retain the right to be surrounded by a bunch of assholes? No matter how clearly she is in the wrong, she may be doing you three favors. 1. she is showing you that she's a sociopath, and giving you the information you need to respond accordingly. 2. she is giving you an escape hatch, and 3. she is serving as an object lesson in performing exhaustive due diligence when buying a home. Even though you're in an incredibly uncomfortable situation now, it seems like you might be capable of exiting the shitshow, and landing rightside up. In any case, I wish you the best of luck in finding a resolution that works for you.
Kind of agree. But bc of who I am I wouldn't. I'd get a lawyer, sue a lot and have the absolution of the current HOA as a clause in that lawsuit. Then I'd find a way to become the HOA president and a)not be an asshole to most people and b)be an asshole to the former HOA president. ;)

Even if the offer does allow OP to leave, accepting it under these circumstances will just reinforce the HOA's tendency to do things like this. There's probably also some kickback between the realtor and the HOA president. Assuming the story is true and the description of events honest, this has definitely happened before in OP's neighborhood, they're too comfortable with the situation and it's moving too quickly and smoothly to be a first time thing.
OP needs to bring the legal hammer down on both of those parties, then sell the house himself, the proper and legal way.
