IF YOU ARE BUYING…<br />
“I always recommend a prospective<br />
buyer ask for and read the past 12<br />
months of the condo association’s<br />
meeting minutes,” says Maria Walley,<br />
realtor with Comey and Shepherd.<br />
“Any issues that are important will be<br />
in the minutes.”<br />
Capital improvement projects,<br />
cyclical assessments triggering additional<br />
investments are all critical<br />
issues that the new buyer should<br />
understand before purchasing. For<br />
the seller, becoming involved with<br />
the condo association is a great way<br />
to understand and to help mitigate<br />
these extra investments as they come<br />
to the surface.<br />
If you have a pet, make sure animals<br />
are allowed in the building. Walley<br />
says that this may limit options when<br />
purchasing. She also suggests, that<br />
if pets are not allowed, sellers work<br />
with their building’s board to try and<br />
amend this clause. This change would<br />
greatly widen sales opportunities.<br />
