Realtor Information
The purpose of this page is to provide basic information to a Hunters Green Cluster homeowner in selling his or her property, and to the realtor who is representing a Hunters Green Cluster homeowner in selling his or her property, or who is representing a potential buyer of a property. Following is a summary of things to know as a Seller or Realtor, as well as information you should convey to a potential Buyer.
REALTORS, SELLERS AND BUYERS
The Seller should request Resale Disclosure Documents, also known as Resale Certificate Packet, for the residence being sold. All Sellers of property in Hunters Green Cluster are required by Virginia State law to provide a Resale Certificate to the Buyer, based on the process outlined in the RDDs. Neither the Seller nor the Buyer can waive this requirement. (The 2025 cost is $150). For legal details see: Code of Virginia Code - Chapter 23.1. Resale Disclosure Act. Documents should be ordered 6-8 weeks before going to market, as any violations should be resolved before closing. A property can be sold with violations, but they must be disclosed to the Buyer, who will then need to work with RA and HGCA to resolve them.
Purchase of the Resale Disclosure Documents (RDDs) kicks off the home inspection process.
To request the documents from the HGCA, send an email to disclosure@huntersgreen.org
HGCA has 14 days in which to provide their Resale Certificate Packet.
The Seller must also request a similar document from Reston Association. For details see: https://www.reston.org/224/Resale-Disclosure-Documents
Both Reston Association and HGCA will then complete inspections to ensure the home is following all Reston and HGCA standards and covenants then notify the Seller if there are issues. After inspection,
HGCA will provide legally mandated information in the HGCA Resale Certificate including any violations found, along with HOA financial information (this could include past due payments), covenants, conditions, and restrictions.
RA will work with the Seller then provide a Close Letter once any violations found are resolved.
Any issues identified in the Resale Certificate must be corrected by the Seller prior to closing or the Buyer will be responsible for correcting the issues at their own expense within 30 days of closing. A revised Resale Certificate should be requested once issues are corrected, and the Cluster approves the changes.
Realtors, Please Take Note: A single For Sale sign may be placed on the property of the homeowner who is selling his or her house. In addition, each home for sale is permitted only one square foot directional sign, for the sole purpose of directing prospective buyers to the home, to be placed on the Cluster's common ground. Any additional signs will be removed without notice. Signs larger than one square foot will be removed without notice. All signs must be removed from the Cluster's common ground when the home is sold.
Realtors and prospective purchasers can get answers to their questions related to homeownership and membership in HGCA by sending an e-mail to info@huntersgreen.org. This HGCA website can also be reviewed for additional information.
