How does a board send a title company the resale package it ordered before a home sale closes?

A walkthrough of a resale package order in HOA-OS. The board confirms the lot, chooses the documents, and one button assembles the package with a cover sheet for the sale.

A title company ordering a resale package wants the governing documents, how the association's money and reserves stand, and anything open against the lot. On many self-managed boards, someone gathers it from folders and email before closing.

Here the order is already in the board's queue. The board confirms the lot, picks the documents, and one button assembles the package.

The full walkthrough, in words

The order sits on the Property Transfers page with its due date. It's from a title company for a home on Foxfire Cove, with the closing date, the buyer and the seller.

The page has matched the address to a lot, and the board confirms it before the order goes into review.

Then the board picks the documents. The checklist shows the community's own documents with four already ticked, the board's default set from the package settings. For this sale, the board adds the reserve study summary. Nothing is saved until the package is assembled.

One button assembles the package, with a cover sheet made for this sale. The cover names the property and the sale and lists each document the board chose. Below that it shows the association's income, expenses and reserve funding, read from the community's own books, then the lot's payoff figures, its open violations and the insurance details the board entered in its settings.

The page for the title company lists the cover sheet, then each document the board chose, each with its own download link.

Nothing in HOA-OS decides what goes in the package. The board ticks the documents, and the cover reads the books as they stand on the day it's assembled, so get both current first. Before you send a package, review it with your association's attorney.
