<p>Form 28 for condos is similar/identical.</p>
<p>I would point out it's also an issue with the practice regarding
resale certificates in Washington. Those are more typically
ordered after mutual acceptance, but we typically try to have them
in hand before listing and then update them if the property
doesn't sell quickly. <br>
</p>
<p>Having the resale cert beforehand would deal with issues like
this, at least as to having knowledge of the facts (not knowing
how the contract terms work is another matter). But it can also
deal with other issues. The reason we started that practice was a
situation where we represented the buyer, negotiated the
inspection, and then discovered that the condo association was
planning on replacing all the wood siding at tremendous expense
and well beyond their ability to fund without a loan. (As an
aside, complete residing was probably unnecessary--the HOA was
likely getting bad advice.) Our buyer rightly backed out and
basically everyone wasted their time and money on the deal because
of the lack of timely information (the listing agent was
apparently unaware). <br>
</p>
<p>Conversely, the resale certificate could show good information,
such as high reserves and a positive reserve study, which is
something a listing agent should also know. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">The multiple listing’s form 21 would have
another paragraph buried in the form with more details. E.g.
for the 02/17 Form 21, on page 2 under Paragraph “h” it
states: “Buyer is advised to verify the existence and amount
of any …assessments that may be charged against the Property
before or after Closing. Seller will pay such charges that
are or become due on or before Closing.
