Maverick Real Estate

Day in the life: learning, learning, and more learning. Today it was new builds and honestly, I love this part of the job. Every detail I pick up is one more way I can show up for the people who trust me with their move. 📈

5am alarm. Coffee. Showings. Client calls. Insurance reviews. More coffee. Somewhere in there, Porschia demands a walk. Wouldn’t trade it. ☕🐕

A day in the life of a realtor.

🏡📲 Every day is different.

Special assessment: the one word every condo buyer needs to know. 👀

It’s a one-time bill when the building needs a big repair and the reserve fund can’t cover it. Could be a few thousand, or a lot more. You either pay it up front or it gets added to your monthly fees.

That’s why I bring in a professional to review the condo documents before you buy, so we catch it early.
And don’t fear a high fee. It often means the reserve is funded and the work is handled, instead of a surprise bill later.

Save this before you go condo shopping. DM me “HOME.”

Day in the life: equal parts hustle, caffeine, and answering ‘is now a good time to buy?’ for the 100th time. (Yes. It’s always a good time to build.) 💯‼️🏡

Part 2 — How $150 a month gets you stuck

This is how a 150 dollar condo fee gets someone stuck, and how we stop it.

You buy an older townhouse, 15 years old, low fee of 150 a month. Feels like a deal. Then the roof is due, and the shingles are shot across the whole complex.

The condo corporation is supposed to handle it. But here’s the math. 150 a month for 15 years was never enough to save for a roof that size. When the reserve fund can’t cover it, they charge every owner directly. That’s a special assessment, and it can be thousands.

Here’s the part most agents skip. Before you ever sign, I get the condo documents reviewed by a professional. They go through the reserve fund study and tell us if the building has money saved or if a big bill is coming. That one step is how you avoid getting stuck.
