ownership in our system, we must receive a copy of the Warranty Deed from the
closer. Please keep in mind that the changeover to the new owners will not
happen immediately because the Warranty Deed may not arrive for several weeks. If
you continue to receive information or statements after 30 days’ post-closing,
please contact our office and we will be happy to assist.

home soon and would like to discontinue HOA payments. Could you let me know the
process for this?

payment up until your closing date.

my forwarding address?
