We get the same call again and again:
“Brian, the buyer just saw the HOA docs.”
“They’re freaking out about reserves, the roof, litigation…”
And every time, our first question is:
Why are they just seeing this now?
Most condo deals don’t fall apart because of the property. They fall apart because of panic — usually triggered by a lack of information, context, or guidance.
Here’s the problem: many agents don’t know how to read these documents. They’re not trained to interpret reserve studies. They’ve never seen an SB326 report. So when their buyer starts asking questions, they’re just as confused — and the buyer can feel that.
By the time a red flag surfaces, it feels like a full-blown emergency. Even if the issue is common — like an older roof or pending special assessment — it becomes a crisis, simply because no one prepared them for it.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Most of these so-called “deal killers” aren’t killers at all. They just need to be explained early, with transparency and context. That’s exactly what we do.
At The Condo Experts, we front-load the process.
We review all HOA documents upfront.
We explain the key risks and realities — in plain English.
We don’t write offers until the buyer understands the full picture.
That’s how we prevent panic. And that’s how we keep deals together.
If you’re a buyer, you deserve clarity.
If you’re a seller, you need a team that can prevent last-minute fallout.
If you’re an agent — and you’re tired of guessing — we’ve built the system you’ve been looking for.
Because the real value isn’t just in closing.
It’s in knowing how to keep the deal alive in the first place.
