Simple.....have done this 4-5 times:
- Find a property you are interested in;
- Tell YOUR real estate agent (you have your own agent, right?) that you want to see the CCR's before making an offer
- The seller's agent (who is different than your agent) will bellyache about how you can't see them until you make an offer and only if you are in the ____ (typically 72 hour) due diligence period.
- ^^^^ That is of course incorrect. The HOA is required to provide a copy of the CCR's at some point (offer, closing, something) but there is no prohibition on seeing the CCR's for review. Agree to something reasonable (at the Seller's agent's office from 1-4 on Thursday, etc), but you can see them;
- If the Seller refuses to let you see them, don't make an offer.
