Resale FAQ’s

If you are trying to buy or sell your home and require the association documents, please see:

Disclosure/Resale Report – This report contains disclosure information for the buyer and payoff information for the Title company. This report includes a complete set of current association documents. The report also meets the criteria Washington has for Resale Certificates. Make sure you work with the Title company and you have a buyer when ordering this report.

Community Association Documents – This report includes only a set of current association documents. This report should be ordered if an owner or realtor needs the association documents for an upcoming sale, or if an owner has lost their documents or need the most current ones. No other information is provided.

If you trying to refinance or purchase a home through a mortgage broker or bank, please order:
Lender Report – This report is used by banks and mortgage companies when preparing a loan or completing a questionnaire. It contains specific information relating to an association, including all information required by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This report can only be ordered by a lender.

If you are with a title company or settlement company closing on a refinance or sale and need current account balance, please see:
Escrow Report – This report is needed by title and escrow companies. This report shows settlement information for an account that is closing due to the transfer of title.

Assessment Certificate – This report is used when refinancing a mortgage or to get the information to pay any current balances on an account. It shows just the current balance due to the association, if any. No other documents are included.

What payment options are there?

Please note that all reports that require advanced payment must be paid with either a check, or with Visa or MasterCard.

Once logged into ADI you will be able to see report types and costs associated with each report.

The HOA does not pay CMI for assisting homeowners and their lenders when they are selling, refinancing and/or buying a home. CMI provides this service directly to the owner or lender. CMI maintains the website and processes all orders through ADI, a web-based service that CMI subscribes to. Costs for this service are charged to the requester.

The Lender Report is used to procure a loan for the purchase of property. The Disclosure Report provides information for the association, such as the Association Documents, and discloses information for the association, such as litigation and special assessments.

Real Estate Resources

There are two options:

1. Your Association may have its own website where the current owner can obtain documents for no additional costs. Please go to www.communitymgt.com and click on the tab Your Community. Scroll down to Association Web Portals and register for a Log in & Password. It is likely that the documents you need will be posted on this site.
   
2. If your association does not have a website, you will need to proceed to the Resale Info/Lender Request page and enroll in our ADI site. There you can order the Community Association Documents Packet ($107-$115) to obtain only association documents or the Disclosure Resale Certificate ($158-$165), which contains consumer disclosure information for the buyer on a particular unit and the association documents.
