Buyer due diligence

Condo decisions should be based on the current unit and HOA package, not only a building overview or prior listing.

  • Obtain the current CC&Rs, budget, reserve study, insurance summary, meeting minutes, litigation disclosures, and assessment information from the HOA.
  • Confirm the unit’s parking, storage, balcony or patio details, and access arrangements against the listing, title, and HOA materials.
  • Verify rental and pet rules in the current governing documents; public summaries may not reflect amendments, enforcement, or unit-specific restrictions.
  • Have the proposed lender and insurance professional review the current building documentation for financing and coverage considerations.
  • Compare floor, view corridor, orientation, outdoor space, and finish level with recent Electra alternatives.
  • Review ownership costs using current dues and disclosed obligations rather than a public profile or prior listing.

Seller next steps

Clear, current building documentation helps the right buyers evaluate the unit with confidence.

  • Order the HOA resale package early and disclose parking, storage, and approved alterations clearly.
  • Use building-specific comparables that account for floor, exposure, views, outdoor space, and condition.
  • Prepare buyers for a document-driven review of HOA finances, insurance, and current rental rules.
