A lower HOA fee isn't automatically a better deal.
When you're buying a condo, one of the most important questions to ask is: What does my HOA fee actually cover?
Maria Rini and Rich W. Gneiding explain that different communities can offer very different things for that monthly payment.
At The Estates at Englewood, for example, heat and water are included. Other communities may charge more but offer pools, health clubs, community rooms, doormen, valet services and other amenities.
Don't compare HOA fees based on the number alone. Compare what you're actually getting for your money.

❌ Your Certificate of Occupancy (CO) failed. Now what?
Don't panic. A failed CO doesn't necessarily mean your home sale is over—it usually means there's a problem that needs to be corrected before closing.
In this video, Maria Rini explains one of the most common reasons a CO fails: a hot water heater that was installed without the proper permit. The good news? There are ways to fix it.
Whether it's contacting the original plumber, applying for the permit yourself, or hiring another licensed professional to bring everything up to code, there is a path forward. The key is addressing the issue as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary delays.
If you're preparing to sell your home in Bergen County, we're here to help you navigate every step of the process.

🚨 Selling your home? Don't let a missing permit delay your closing.

One of the most common issues Maria Rini sees during the Certificate of Occupancy (CO) process is a furnace or hot water heater that was replaced without the required permit. It usually happens during an emergency, when the priority is getting the heat or hot water back on—not paperwork.

The problem doesn't show up until the town inspection. Then the homeowner may need to apply for permits retroactively, schedule inspections, and pay additional fees before the CO can be issued.

If your furnace or hot water heater doesn't have a permit sticker, it's worth checking before you put your home on the market.
