In addition, students will examine homeowners associations, condominiums, and cooperative housing communities, including resale package requirements, buyer rights, contract termination timelines, reserve study requirements, and fair housing considerations. Through discussion of real-world scenarios and current regulations, attendees will strengthen their ability to protect clients, remain compliant, and navigate transactions with confidence.
