Limited Uncommon Elephant

Those documents are not only required by law, if not provided, the agent is at serious rick for the fallout if there is a special assessement that isn't disclosed, pending lawsuits that could affect financing or conco fees, number of rented units, etc., etc.,

NO WAY I'm going to close a condo without timely delivery of docs.

Good job.

Alan- good for you for sticking to your guns! The law was on your side with this one.

Alan, So is that anything like Chicago politics?  I mean geez did they really think they would get away with all of that BS.

Sounds like a tricky situation.  Your buyer was lucky to have you in her corner.  I'm sure many agents would have been happy to gloss past this and move to their payday.

Alan - Outstanding job and outstanding results.  As indicated above ... she had the right real estate professional on her team!  It's way to easy to "try and fix it later ..." especially during the holiday season where folks are pre-occupied about other things .... it's not like buying a house should be a big thing! (LOL)  BRAVO ....

I still think HOAs are a tool of the devil. More blood pressure problems stem from their actions than anything else.

So few people realize that these HOAs are run by "non-professionals" who are, unfortunately, often in their position for the purpose of power-grabs, intrinsic benefits (often insidious) or outright embezzlement.  Oh, the stories I could tell.  Granted, there are the scant few how strive to do the best for the greater good, but in my experience, they are not the majority.  Good on you for fighting to the bitter end for the benefit of your client.

Alan,

I came from the reblog by Cindy. Wanted to say that your title is superb. I love creating titles for my blogs, and if that would be me coming up with this title, I would be very-very proud.

You first paragraph "sold" me right away. So true. Even for me, while I am reading beyond the Titles (which I rarely enjoy as much as yours)

I ran into a few of your blogs before, and they were good to excellent, and looks like I better subscribe, than keep risking missing on really great ones.

I am yours, sir ;-) (subscriber, I mean...)

Alan,

After struggling to find the Subscribe button, and finally subscribing, I came back to say that I also have "suggested" it.

Alan (love the ever-changing headers!), your client's were lucky to have you as their advocate.  Great job!

I read the original post and was happy to see the follow up.  It's a good thing your client had the right REALTOR and attorney on her side.  Those things will never get fixed later.  I'm surprised she wasn't leery of purchasing the unit after seeing how the association was run, but I guess she at least now knows which attorney to call if she needs to!  I hope she becomes involved in the association & at least keeps tabs on what is going on.
