Not much extra work. If they were properly prepared, the work would largely consist of attaching a PDF to an e-mail and sending. Clicky-sendy, takes 15 seconds.

an HOA company probably wants to charge $25 for that clicky-sendy. And a listing agent might not want to clicky -sendy to every bidder until they are in escrow because there are other fish that aren’t asking for the clicky-sendy. Call it laziness that they can get away with. Note: not all agents would do this probably. There are some probably that would get it for you. BUT, it depends how popular the property is I guess.

And speaking of extra work, wouldn’t negotiating a sale only to have a strong buyer run screaming due to poor financials be MORE extra work?!?[/quote]

Not really. You would be an extra bidder on the place..You might not be the only strong buyer…But you might be the only strong buyer that cares about the HOA financial health… (Me, I do too)… But just saying…..
