Buying the right condo isn’t just about the unit…it’s about the building.
One of the biggest mistakes I see condo buyers make is falling in love with the kitchen, the view, or the amenities without asking questions about the HOA.
Before you make an offer, here’s what I recommend looking into:
✔️ Reserve funds – Does the HOA have money set aside for future repairs, or could a special assessment be around the corner?
✔️ Monthly HOA dues – More importantly, what do they actually cover? Insurance, water, exterior maintenance, amenities, security…every community is different.
✔️ Special assessments – Are owners being asked to contribute additional money for major repairs or improvements?
✔️ Pending litigation – This can impact financing and even your ability to purchase the condo.
✔️ HOA financial health – A well-managed association helps protect your investment over time.
The condo itself is only part of the purchase. Understanding how the community is managed is just as important.
If you’re thinking about buying a condo anywhere in Metro Atlanta—from Buckhead and Brookhaven to Vinings, Midtown, Sandy Springs, or beyond—I’d love to help you ask the right questions before you buy.
