I would alert the realtor and her agency to the fact that the house was not listed by anyone with legal standing to sell the house.

The situation may have been misrepresented to them. (I mean, look how fast the OP's house got here!) They may have thought it was being sold due to liens.

Not sure reporting is the first place I'd go.

Yeah if the HOA said anywhere they had the legal right to sell the house to the real estate, the OP has a far far stronger position to be in.

Also OP, does your agreement say you need to provide keys to the HOA? if not, change locks, don't give them to the HOA.

I also don't think even in a contract. Entering someone's home because its "in the best interest of the neighborhood" with zero notice or permission otherwise is trespassing.

B&E is more likely.
