Description

Key Information Needed to Write Condos What you learn in this segment is that regardless who the customer is, the HOA or the unit owner, the same information is required. The agent needs:

  • A copy of the association’s declarations or covenants, conditions and restrictions (CCR’s).
  • An official letter documenting the definition of a unit’s boundaries detailing who is responsible for insuring which property. 
  • A copy of the applicable state statute.
  • A verifiable or signed property valuation calculation. 

7 Key Condo Definitions You Must Understand.  To properly place coverage for either the HOA or the unit owner, the agent must be able to define seven key terms – 4 real property definitions and 3 key “responsibility” terms. The agent must be able to define and understand:

  • Common Elements
  • Limited Common Elements
  • Unit Property
  • Unit Improvements and Betterments
  • Common Elements
  • Limited Common Elements
  • Unit Property
  • Unit Improvements and Betterments

Who Insures Which Condo Property.  Once the owner understands who is responsible for which real property (as defined), all that is left is designing the insurance program for either the HOA or the unit owner. If the HOA isn’t responsible for insuring it, the unit owner is.
