Cardinali Team Realtor Resource
Do the financing homework before you accept the offer.
A qualified buyer is only half the conversation. The condo association can affect financing, timing, documentation, down payment, and the available buyer pool. Submit the property early so we can help identify questions before the offer clock starts.
Early review is informational and does not guarantee final project approval, borrower approval, loan approval, or financing eligibility.
Why review early?
The unit is what gets the showing. The association is what can change the financing conversation.

What may affect financing:
What we look at
You do not need to underwrite the condo. You need to recognize what deserves a closer look and bring the facts to us early.
Current budget, reserves, reserve studies, assessments, owner delinquencies, major capital projects and known financial concerns.
Deferred maintenance, structural repairs, engineering or safety reports, major repair projects and project phasing.
Litigation, deed restrictions, commercial space, conversions, unusual ownership facts and other project characteristics.
Association master policy, evidence of coverage, insurance contacts and any additional coverage a lender may need to review.

The Cardinali Team process
The goal is not to promise an approval. It is to understand potential questions earlier, set better expectations, and reduce late surprises.
Address, timing, known facts and whatever association information is already available.
We review the condo questionnaire, supporting documents, and other information provided to identify anything that may affect financing.
What we know, what we do not know, and what matters next.
You return to the seller or buyer with a clearer financing conversation.
What you get back
We give you a copy/paste-ready summary designed to help you understand financing eligibility, guide offer conversations, and market the listing with more confidence.
The example shown here is illustrative. Actual findings depend on the property, association, loan program, documentation, and underwriting review.
[Property address] may be eligible for conventional financing with as little as ___% down.
Conventional financing: review complete / acceptable subject to final loan and project requirements.
Other financing: status noted as available information allows.
We can provide practical language and marketing tools, including financing-oriented listing guidance and estimated-payment flyer options where appropriate.
When appropriate, we can provide sample broker-remark language describing the early financing review. Final wording and eligibility should always be confirmed before publishing.
Free agent resources
Use these before the property goes live. Start with what the seller or association already has, and avoid paying for documents until the lender confirms what is actually needed.
Questions to ask before the listing goes live: litigation, assessments, structural issues, financial health, insurance, restrictions and other project facts.
