Buyers should ensure they receive the transponders from the seller. Transponders may be purchased by homeowners at the current price of $35 each. Please note the front gate attendants do not provide other services or respond to suspicious behavior or emergencies.
- Disclosure Package: per Virginia law 55-509.4, every seller must present a “Disclosure Packet” (aka Resale Package) to the buyer. This packet provides state-mandated disclosure items including the HOA assessment and one time contribution amounts and other fees, outstanding HOA violations, governing documents, board minutes, etc. Routine turnaround time is up two weeks with a basic fee of $317.95 which covers the resale package and inspection. Rush fee, post closing fee, and statement of account fees are $70.66 each. The resale package is sent electronically not via paper with shipping. One can order the packet online by visiting www.gocampmgmt.com, click on the green Closing Documents button at the top of the page.
