▲ Why You Did Better Than Projected

+$29,552
Mortgage Payoff Came in Lower
Estimated $200K, actual $170,448.26. Months of principal payments since the estimate, plus per-diem interest savings from paying off mid-cycle.
+$6,102
SAX 3rd Quarter Paid Directly
The April Special Assessment ($6,102) was paid directly to the HOA outside of closing โ€” not deducted from your proceeds at settlement.
+$8,180
HOA Q3 Prepayments Returned
You had already paid Q3 HOA fees. These were prorated back to you at closing: Unit 1801 ($3,564.38) + Unit 1802 ($4,615.28) = $8,179.66 credit.
+$605
Settlement Fee Cheaper Than Estimated
Title Now, LLC charged $895 for the settlement fee, versus the projected $1,500 estimate โ€” a clean $605 saving.
Offsets (items that ran higher): Tax prorations (โˆ’$370), lien searches (โˆ’$480), RON signing (โˆ’$175), higher estoppel (โˆ’$328), title search overage (โˆ’$200), wire verification (โˆ’$50). Net of all offsets: +$36,001 better.

Next Steps โ€” Post-Closing Action Items

Immediate (Within 7 Days)
1
Confirm wire receipt
Verify $945,184 was received in your designated bank account.
2
Save closing documents
Settlement statement, deed, payoff letter, trust documents. Keep for 7 years for tax purposes.
3
Notify your insurance company
Cancel HO-6 condo insurance effective 4/30/2026. Request proration refund for any prepaid premium.
4
Update your address with key parties
IRS, banks, DMV, and insurance carriers if you have moved out.
Financial (Within 30 Days)
5
Talk to your CPA about capital gains
Cost basis vs. $1,200,000 sale, plus closing costs and improvements. Section 121 exclusion may apply if this was your primary residence.
6
Plan the proceeds
$945,184 needs a strategy: pay down debt, invest, fund J1 program operations, or real estate 1031 exchange (identify replacement within 45 days, close within 180 days if you want to defer gains).
7
1099-S form expected
Title company will file IRS Form 1099-S reporting the sale. Watch for it in January 2027.
HOA / Association
8
Confirm Marquis received transfer
“Change of Records” was filed with Marquis Association Management ($150 each unit). Verify the buyer is now on record.
9
Cancel any auto-pay
Stop ClickPay ACH for HOA fees and special assessments immediately.
10
Get final HOA statement
Confirm zero balance owed to Marquis Association Management for both units.
Tax-Related
11
Property tax confirmation
2025 taxes ($25,370) were paid at closing. You should receive a paid-in-full notice from Broward County Tax Collector.
12
Keep all closing documents for cost basis
Original purchase price + improvements + closing costs (purchase) + selling costs = your adjusted cost basis for capital gains calculation.
Longer-Term
13
Capital gains tax planning
If investment property, gain is taxable. Consult CPA about timing of recognition, installment sale options, and state tax. Florida has no state income tax โ€” an advantage.
14
Update estate planning documents
Remove this asset from any wills, trusts, or beneficiary designations where it was listed.
15
Final reconciliation
Compare all moneys received to the settlement statement. Flag any discrepancies with Title Now, LLC within 30 days.

Contract Red Flags

10 items requiring your attention โ€” Contract executed April 2, 2026

โ–  Contract Key Terms โ€” Karumsi Family Revocable Trust
Buyer Karumsi Family Revocable Trust
Sale Price $1,200,000
Deposit $100,000 ($20K initial + $80K additional)
Type Cash โ€” No Financing Contingency
Contract Type AS-IS
Attorney Approval 3 business days from Eff. Date (~Apr 7)
Inspection Period 5 business days
Closing On or before April 30, 2026
Escrow Agent ONE Sotheby's Intl Realty
Parking Space #32 (Unit 1802), Space #149 (Unit 1801)
Flag 1: Buyer's Attorney Approval (Rider Z)
HIGH
  • โ—Rider Z attached โ€” contract is contingent on buyer's attorney approval within 3 business days
  • โ—Buyer can walk with full $100K deposit refund if attorney disapproves for any reason
  • โ—Essentially a free look period โ€” buyer has zero risk during this window
  • โ—Deadline: ~April 7, 2026
Until Apr 7: your $100K deposit is fully refundable. No commitment from buyer yet.
Flag 2: Buyer Is a Trust
MODERATE
  • โ—Buyer: Karumsi Family Revocable Trust โ€” two trustees: Renu Karumsi & Dipash Karumsi
  • โ—Trust purchases add closing complexity; both trustees must sign all documents
  • โ—Must verify FIRPTA compliance โ€” FL Statute 692 restricts foreign buyers from China, Russia, Iran, N. Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Syria
Confirm trustees are U.S. persons and obtain trust certification before closing.
Flag 3: Open Permits / Liens Clause
HIGH
  • โ—Paragraph 20 Item 6: Seller must convey “free and clear of ANY and ALL open or expired permits, liens, violations or fines” at Seller's sole cost
  • โ—For a 1969 building with 2 units, unknown open permits are a real risk
  • โ—Any open permit found at closing becomes seller's problem to resolve
ACTION: Run Broward County permit search on both units IMMEDIATELY before attorney approval deadline.
Flag 4: Hallway Restoration Assessment
MODERATE
  • โ—Paragraph 20 Item 2: Buyer assumes the Special Assessment for hallway restoration “which has not yet been levied”
  • โ—Good that buyer assumes it, but if levied before closing there could be ambiguity about who pays
  • โ—Timing matters โ€” a levy before Apr 30 could trigger a dispute
Get written confirmation from HOA on assessment timing before closing.
Flag 5: Dual Agency โ€” Brian Hero Both Sides
MODERATE
  • โ—Brian Hero is listed as BOTH cooperating AND listing sales associate
  • โ—ONE Sotheby's is both brokerages โ€” dual agency arrangement
  • โ—Commission: 4% total = 2% listing + 2% buyer's broker (per MLA)
  • โ—Brian cannot fully advocate for seller in a dual agency situation
Consider hiring independent legal counsel to review contract terms before attorney approval window closes.
Flag 6: Affiliated Title Company
MODERATE
  • โ—ONE Sotheby's (MDLV LLC) owns >1% of Florida Secured Title LLC
  • โ—Brokerage profits from the title company they're directing the deal to
  • โ—Title charges estimated 0.5%โ€“1.25% of purchase price ($6Kโ€“$15K on buyer's side)
  • โ—You are NOT required to use their title company โ€” you can shop around
RESPA disclosure required. Shop independent title companies if desired.
Flag 7: $495 Admin Fee
LOW
  • โ—Sotheby's charges $495 “transaction/administrative fee” on top of the 4% commission
  • โ—Both parties may owe this fee โ€” clarify if you pay $495 or both sides pay $495
  • โ—Included in your updated walk-away calculation (โˆ’$495 deduction)
Flag 8: Multiple Exit Ramps for Buyer
HIGH
  • โ—Attorney approval: 3 business days โ€” buyer can walk for any reason
  • โ—Inspection period: 5 business days โ€” buyer can walk for any reason (AS-IS contract)
  • โ—Buyer has nearly 2 full weeks of exit opportunities before being truly committed
  • โ—Your $100K deposit is fully refundable during both windows
Deal is NOT firm until both attorney approval AND inspection periods expire. Stay cautious until ~Apr 14.
Flag 9: Seller Disclosure Obligations
MODERATE
  • โ—Must provide: Condo Disclosure, Seller's Property Disclosure, Lead Paint Disclosure (mandatory for pre-1978 buildings), Flood Zone Disclosure
  • โ—Must provide architectural plans, drawings, and building documents
  • โ—Failure to deliver any required disclosure could give buyer an additional exit
ACTION: Prepare ALL disclosures immediately. Do not wait โ€” delivery delays create buyer outs.
Flag 10: Listing Price vs. Contract Price Gap
LOW
  • โ—MLA modified listing price to $1,400,000 on March 25, 2026
  • โ—Contract signed at $1,200,000 on April 2 โ€” $200K below the modified listing
  • โ—The MLA was signed before the contract โ€” the listing was adjusted down anticipating this deal
  • โ—Not a concern procedurally, but documents the depth of the discount accepted
