Before deciding to purchase your new home within the Mountain Glen community, you should have received what is known as a ‘Resale Certificate.’ A HOA Resale Certificate formally known as a ‘Property Resale Disclosure Packet,’ is a package of crucial documents provided through the Association’s management company. These documents provide essential information about a property’s standing within a homeowners’ association (HOA or Association), including financial obligations and the Association's overall health.
Purpose of the HOA Resale Certificate
The HOA Resale Certificate serves several important functions in real estate transactions involving properties within a common interest community. These transactions include the following:
Transparency: It offers a clear snapshot of the property's relationship with the Association, ensuring that both the buyer(s) and seller(s) are aware of any financial obligations or issues related to the real estate property.
Protection for Buyer(s): The packet of information potential buyers about the current owner's financial standing with the Association, including any unpaid member assessments (aka dues) or violations. This helps avoid unexpected financial burdens after the purchase.
Protection for Sellers: It allows sellers to disclose their financial position with the Association, minimizing the risk of future disputes related to undisclosed information.
Financial Health of the HOA: The packet of information provides insight into the Association’s financial stability, including details about the Association’s financial business operating budget, reserve account funding, liability and officers’ insurance coverage, etc., that could affect the community's financial standing.
Key Information Included
A Resale Certificate typically contains the following information:
Current Dues: Details about the Association’s annual assessments (dues) and any special assessments that may be pending.
Financial Status: Information regarding the Association’s annual budget, reserve funds, and any outstanding debts associated with the property.
Pending Violations: Any existing violations related to the property that the new owner may inherit.
