What to ask about HOA governance, reserve studies, and special-assessment culture before you close

Before closing on a South Florida condominium or branded residence, buyers should look past finishes and views to understand how the association governs, funds reserves, and handles capital risk.

In coastal markets where salt air, humidity, and storm exposure accelerate wear on façades, roofs, waterproofing, and elevators, governance quality can shape ownership experience as much as design or services. MILLION Luxury outlines the questions that matter most before you sign.
