Steve Sugarman on What Realtors Need to Know About Resales in Condo and Homeowners Associations

Attorney Steve Sugarman speaks to realtors in an office settingA room full of realtors were the audience for community association lawyer Steven L. Sugarman’s recent presentation on “What Every Realtor Needs to Know About Resales in the Condominium or Homeowners Association” at Compass Real Estate in Wayne, PA. The program included the “do’s and don’ts” of resale certificates required under statutory law and key requirements to preserve sale and avoid liability associated with resales in the community association marketplace. Resales of homes within a condominium or homeowners association continue to increase dramatically.

Gawthrop Greenwood is one of the largest law firms supporting homeowners associations (HOAs), planned communities, condominium associations and cooperatives in Pennsylvania, offering an expanded array of services and legal disciplines that are of limited availability elsewhere. A community association law attorney for more than 40 years, Sugarman has played a critical role in establishing statutory and decisional law governing Pennsylvania’s common interest communities (CICs). As the chair and active member of the Community Association Institute’s (CAI) Legislative Action Committee for many years, Sugarman drafted and advocated for key amendments to Pennsylvania’s statutes as community associations have evolved into the fastest-growing form of housing. He also serves as an expert witness on community association matters brought before Pennsylvania’s courts and General Assembly.

A member of the prestigious College of Community Association Lawyers since 2000 and a past president of CAI’s regional chapter, Sugarman developed and teaches one of the few law school courses nationwide on condominium and homeowner association law as an adjunct professor at the Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law. He is a frequent lecturer at the local and national levels on real estate and community association matters.
