What’s different for you
- Send the condo papers. The buyer gets the association’s papers, and their 7-day review starts then.
- Share the building’s inspections. Milestone inspection summaries and the reserve study, or a note that there isn’t one.
- Order the estoppel letter. It shows what’s owed so it can be paid at closing.
