Hollywood Florida Keller Williams Realtors Cindy Abraham Ateam Florida. Why Financing Condos Is Tougher — and How We Make It Easier
Financing condominiums has become more complicated, especially since the Surfside building collapsed, which triggered stricter lending and inspection requirements. That’s why working with experienced professionals is more important than ever.
At Keller Williams A Team Florida, Cindy Abraham and Brian Gaiefsky streamline the process from day one. We gather all required documentation at the time of the listing appointment, so our sellers don’t face last-minute delays. Thanks to our deep expertise and familiarity with each Hillcrest building, we often already have a comprehensive library of building documents ready to go.
We Think Ahead So You Don’t Have to Scramble
For example, we’ll request a copy of your title insurance policy during the listing appointment. Why? Because it can save you money at closing. Some sellers either pack everything up and move away before closing or store key documents in another state (especially our snowbirds). Getting these items early prevents stress and keeps things moving smoothly.
Our goal is simple: to get you to the closing table without surprises or setbacks. What Sellers Must Provide Early On
Buyers and their lenders require critical documents before or upon going under contract. If your realtor isn’t asking for them at the listing appointment, you should be asking, “WHY NOT?”
The reason why so many deals don’t make it to the closing table is because sellers make the mistake of hiring agents who don’t know Hillcrest. Every building is different, and sometimes we have to make adjustments in the info we provide to get buyer agents comfortable with not only showing units in your building, but the fact is that the reason buyer agents LOOK FOR OUR LISTINGS, is because they know that WE KNOW what we are doing.
Know the Down Payment Requirements
Most Hillcrest buildings require 20%
down. If a building lacks financial reserves, many lenders will demand 25%
down. We know when to adjust the requirements.
