Home Resale/Refinance Information
If you are in the process of selling or refinancing your home in PebbleCreek, please read through the following information to help understand the HOA requirements to ensure that any liens related to your property are correctly released before closing. If you own a villa, you will need to get an HOA demand from the Master HOA, as discussed here, as well as one through the Villas management company.
In order to sell or refinance your home, your title company and/or mortgage lender will need documentation from the HOA confirming any unpaid balances and/or violations connected to your property. In most cases the title company requests this directly from the HOA after the contract is signed. It is not necessary to contact the HOA to start this process unless it is requested by your mortgage or title company.
The HOA has setup the following website to initiate all HOA resale/refinance requests:
