Pre-Offer Checklist

Pull permit records on the specific address to confirm build year before structuring any inspection. 2000s GL Homes construction is cleaner than 1980s–1990s stock but still requires a full inspection.

2000s systems: Roof cycle, cast iron drain lines possible, HVAC age. Polybutylene plumbing check required on early 2000s GL Homes stock — confirm before contract. 2000s construction will not have Federal Pacific/Zinsco panel exposure — focus on plumbing type, drain lines, and HOA coverage confirmation.

55+ age qualification: Confirm qualification requirements on the specific unit before any offer. Occupancy rules govern who can live in the community — verify before contract, not after.

HOA coverage: Confirm what the Valencia Shores HOA covers and what it costs separately from any master HOA obligations before any offer.

School zone: Verify school zone assignment at palmbeachschools.org with the specific address before any offer. Never rely on Zillow or listing agent verbal confirmation.

HOA financials: Brian Wilder pulls current HOA dues, reserve funding percentage, and any pending special assessment disclosures before any offer is written. Contact 561-201-4717.
