Starting Strong, Moving from the Developer

The Virginia Real Estate Board posts the following information on Taking Those First Steps- A newly elected homeowner board should take several steps when transitioning from the developer's management to identify and preserve potential claims. These steps include:

Select Independent Legal Counsel

Select Independent Management

Collect All Relevant Documents

Determine the Physical Condition of the Property

Determine the Financial Condition (check that developer has paid all required capital contributions and all regular and special assessments that it owes, including any accrued interest and/or penalties.)

Evaluate additional Transition Areas (in particular any contracts entered into by the Developers)

Assert Claims stemming from Audits and Inspections

Determine Potential Defendants with any Issues Relating to the Developer
