Like Michael -- I don't understand the reluctance of financing institutions to have this included in the condo docs. Seems as if this would make for a sure sale rather than a delayed one esp. if there is a time limit on the HOA's response time. In TVC's case I think it's just 3 days.

This may be obvious (to all except me) but can someone please explain why lenders object to the right of first refusal. At the same time I confess don't really understand how right of first refusal works. I know the intent to allow the community to have an option when a home is for sale but just
how does it work?

Yes, we recently revised our CC&R's to remove the 'Right of First Refusal" clause because of this very issue. Part of the tightening of the mortgage and lending market. Our borrowers ran into it not just with Fannie Mae,
but
other lenders too.
