GUIDELINES FOR SELLING/RENTING YOUR HOME
TO: ALL REALTORS & INDIVIDUALS SELLING / RENTING PROPERTIES IN EMBASSY LAKES
Please note the following policies with regard to the sale/renting of homes in our community.
Failure to abide by these policies will result in denial of guest entry privileges and/or fines levied against the residence.
Gaining entry into the community:
Residents:
The Homeowner should inform the Management Office that you are selling your home. All appointments to view a home must be made through the Homeowner or their listing agent. Agents are not permitted to use a resident’s clicker.
Signs:
Our documents Article XIII Section 6 state: “No signs, except as approved by the Architectural Control Committee, shall be placed, erected or displayed on any unit lot; provided however a “For Sale” or “For Rent” sign no larger than eighteen (18) inches by eighteen (18) inches shall be permissible.”
Please do not place ‘House for Sale/Rent’ or ‘Open House’ signs in the entrance or other sections of our community, as they will be removed.
Open Houses:
Our Homeowners Association supports our policy of no open houses. This is for security reasons. We cannot permit access to our community to persons that may never intend to see the home for sale. Potential buyers will not be granted open entry. The guards will not just let drivers in who say they are ‘going to the open house’. An owner or realtor may show the house for sale by appointment. All potential buyers must be granted access through phone call, voice mail, or guest list. All buyers will need to show identification and have their tag numbers recorded by the guard.
Closing:
Our Management Company, Atlantis Management, can provide you with the estoppels and lien information you require. Once the closing has taken place or the residential lease has taken effect, you may obtain clickers or barcodes at the Management Office.
Renters: Please see guidelines on home page for more information.
