Disclosures Most states' laws mandate that disclosures be on special forms the seller must sign and date. Be sure the buyer acknowledges receipt of the disclosures by signing and dating the forms as well. If your state doesn't require a specific disclosure form, be sure the buyer otherwise affirms receipt of your disclosures, in writing

Resale Package Required by law for all homes sold within communities that have an HOA. The HOA resale package will provide all of the documentation the buyer will need in order to have full disclosure of the HOA's rules and regulations as well as the HOA's financial standing/budget etc. This is very important to a buyer because it can affect what the buyer can do with the property as well as disclose if the HOA is in financial trouble. Secondly, the HOA demand is required also in order for the title/escrow company to make sure the HOA is paid for any assessments, dues, and/or fees prior to you selling the property.

REFUNDING AN OWNER BALANCE HOW TO SEND THE SELLER A REFUND

How do you refund a prepaid balance There are two steps to complete the refund. How do you refund a prepaid balance if the owner has a full check refund? 1. Use a Payment Adjustment to back out the check(s) equal to the amount of the refund. 2. You need to cut a check to actually refund the amount to the Owner. The Owner will need to be added as a Vendor, which can be done "on the fly" as the invoice portion of the screen is filled in. Complete the invoice portion of the screen just using the date of the Payment Adjustment for the "Effective Date" on the invoice.

Pay adjust vs Add/waive

Refund an owner when no check can be backed out. How do I refund an owner a prepaid amount if there is no check to back out? 1. If the refund is less than a check amount, then just do the Adjustment (add/waive>select prepaid) for the refund amount (minus to reduce amount) offset to Cash (ie.1010).. This will create the following General Ledger Entries: DEBIT - Prepaid CREDIT - Cash 2. You need to cut a check to actually refund the amount to the Owner. The Owner will need to be added as a Vendor, which can be done "on the fly" as the invoice portion of the screen is filled in. ** IMPORTANT ** The expense distribution MUST be charged against the GL Account # for the CHECKING account. Ex. 1010. This needs to be done so the AP invoice and check transaction will have NO EFFECT ON THE GL. It must "wash" itself out. Now the check can be printed to send to the Owner. It should be dated in the same month as the Adjustment.

add/waive>select prepaid) for the refund amount (minus to reduce amount) offset to Cash (ie.1010)..

Here's an example of what this will do when both the invoice and check are completed: DEBIT - Cash Checking CREDIT - Cash Checking You want the AP transactions to "wash" out of the GL because the Payment Adjustment has already reduced the Cash balance for the amount of the refund. If AP affected any other account balance, it would distort the account balances.
