55. CC&Rs

What are CC&Rs and should buyers beware? In today’s podcast we demystify Covenants, Conditions, & Restrictions (CC&Rs) and point out red flags and beige flags. Typically, when a new development is created CC&Rs are designed to govern who can buy, what can be built, and what will be enforced. There are very strict CC&Rs and less strict. All HOAs have CC&Rs. Sometimes there are CC&Rs that aren’t part of an HOA. We work with buyers to determine how they work and how they are enforced. Don’t buy without understanding the rules that could shape your homeownership!Adam Hamalian and Sherry Hutchens are real estate brokers (REALTORS®) working in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area.
