Meet our new partner - CIDA Analytics!!
Buying a home can be overwhelming, especially if the property is under the jurisdiction of a homeowner association (HOA). When you purchase a home in a HOA, you are investing in a non-profit corporation. As an owner/member of this corporation, you are responsible for a portion of the organization’s annual operating expenses and long-term financial obligations, including reserve spending obligations. Buyers that fail to conduct adequate due diligence are setting the stage for failure. What if you could purchase a report that addresses key issues that are critical to the success or failure of a HOA?
Well, you can! CIDAnalytics, the creators of the CIDA REPORT™ is the nation’s most experienced HOA due diligence experts with a track record that dates to 2012. The 2021 collapse of the Champlain Tower South in Florida may have been a shock to many Americans but those who were familiar with the work CIDA and their decade-long effort to educate buyers and the real estate marketplace, were not surprised in the least.
