Cracking the Condo Code: What to Know Before Listing in an HOA
Condo lending has become more complex than ever before. Since 2023, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have tightened their condo lending guidelines, creating new challenges for lenders, real estate agents, buyers, and sellers in HOA communities. These changes can slow down deals—or stop them altogether—if you don’t know what to look for upfront.
In this session, we’ll walk you through the updated guidelines and show you what every agent should know before listing in an HOA. You’ll gain practical tips and tricks for spotting potential issues early, along with the key documents and information you can collect ahead of time to help streamline the approval process.
What you’ll learn:
- How recent guideline changes impact condo lending and sales
- Common HOA red flags that can derail financing
- Which documents to request before listing or writing an offer
- Strategies to keep deals moving and avoid last-minute surprises
Join us to sharpen your condo knowledge, strengthen your role as a trusted advisor, and close more deals with confidence.
