Ready to Sell Your Condo in Uptown or Oak Lawn?
You have owned your condo or townhome for years. Now you are ready for the next chapter, but other units in your building may be listed and the HOA side can feel like a maze. I have been selling condos and townhomes in these Dallas buildings since 2000, and I can guide you through it.

You Have Thought About This. Probably More Than Once.
"Would my condo sell for top dollar when other units in my building are on the market at the same time?"
"What will the HOA paperwork throw at me at the last minute?"
"Will the resale certificate or a pending special assessment scare buyers off?"
"Will buyers even be able to get a loan approved for my building?"
"What about rental caps or building rules I never knew mattered?"
YOUR A.I. CERTIFIED AGENT™
I price your condo against the other units in the same building, not against a city-wide average. I start the resale certificate and HOA documents early, so they never sit in the way of your closing. And I flag building issues that narrow the buyer pool before they cost a deal. Direct, personal representation from one broker, with no team handoffs.
Matt Watson is an A.I. Certified Agent™, a designation earned through The Krem Institute of Artificial Intelligence. The training is used on every search and every listing. The relationship stays personal. The A.I. supports it.

Sellers who have worked with Matt.
"Matt did an fantastic job guiding me through the selling process and also closing the deal in challenging market. It was pleasure of working with him!"
"I have known Matt Watson for several years so when we sold our condo Matt was the only person we called. He explained the market we were in and went over the comparables. That helped us set a realistic sales price. We had showings the same day it was put in MLS and the first person to see it put in an offer. We got full price and were under contract in just a couple days. Matt was so helpful going over all the paperwork and negotiating the few repairs that were asked for. Closing was a breeze. I have recommended Matt Watson to several people looking to sell their house and will continue to do so."
"Matt is absolutely exceptional as a realtor! His extensive knowledge and experience in the local area are truly unmatched. Choosing to work with Matt not only guarantees substantial time savings but also ensures a seamlessly smooth journey whether you're buying, selling, or renting.

Do I need a resale certificate to sell my condo in Texas?
Yes. Texas law under the state's condominium act requires the seller to deliver a resale certificate prepared by the association, covering the budget, reserves, insurance, special assessments, pending litigation and leasing rules. I order it the week we list, so it is never the thing that slows your closing.
What is a special assessment and how does it affect my sale?
It is a one-time charge for a specific building project beyond your regular dues. If one is pending, it affects how we set your price, what we disclose, and sometimes which loans buyers can get in your building. Better to know it early than to lose a deal to it.
Why does my building have to be approved for buyers to get a loan?
Many loan programs look at the whole building, not just your unit. The project's budget, reserves, insurance and occupancy have to meet the rules, and FHA and VA require project approval. If the building does not qualify, the pool of buyers shrinks. I check your building up front.
What are rental caps and why do they matter?
Some buildings cap how many units can be rented. Those caps can matter to investor buyers and to some loan programs, so I confirm your building's rules before we market.
How do we price my condo when other units in my building are for sale?
We start with what has actually sold and what is listed in your building, then weigh the neighborhood market, your floor, your views and your condition. That gives a price that competes with the units buyers are really comparing.
When should we start the HOA paperwork?
The week we decide to list. The resale certificate has to be current, and an early start means closing never waits on paperwork.
