• Paradise Park Condominium Association consists of 120 acres which includes 314 privately owned  and deeded lots, and common areas.
• When you are interested in selling or buying a lot, contracts need to be specific and "in writing." There are lots in our park in all stages of improvement. They include Real Estate and Real type improvements. In many cases, they also include Personal Property such as Trailers and/or Motorhomes. In many cases they include certain furniture, and fixtures. All of these items should be specified in writing, and in detail along with the asking price.
• It is suggested that Buyers, Sellers and/or agents submit al offers in detail and in writing, with a specific time frame specified for acceptance, counter offer, or rejection. These offers should be verified, and binding with a sizable refundable deposit! This should be signed by the prospective buyer, with the appropriate deposit. If countered or altered by the seller, it needs to be signed by the buyer as acceptable, or rejected, and signed by the buyer as acceptable, or rejected in writing again. Once an agreement has been reached and signed, the buyer and seller need to select a Title Company to complete the transaction. Armed with a detailed written, and signed agreement the Title Company can proceed to close out the transaction. If these guidelines are followed to the letter and in writing, there should be no last minute surprise to either the buyer, or the seller, or the Title Company. The transfer will proceed as written, and in detail including the closing costs of accomplishments, as agreed beforehand!
• The Seller’s original Condominium documents, all mail box keys, and all keys to the property including any shed or cabana keys need to be tagged and turned over to the Title Company prior to, or at closing. This also includes the gate security control, if included. All utility bills of the seller, and all Real Estate taxes and Condo Fees are to be paid or pro-rated, to the date of closing. If independent contractors have done work on the Real Estate portion of this transaction and have not been paid for these improvements, it is the sellers responsibility to be sure they are paid and that there are no liens of record. (Title Companies check!)
• Gate security is provided at lot owners expense, and the remote control is personal property. Sellers who have no future interest in Paradise Park, and will not be returning, should negotiate out this important item in their agreement.
• The Paradise park Condominium Association has certain rules pertaining to the transfer of property in the Park. Check with the Park Office on what their current requirements are. After closing, be sure and register in the new owners name, home address and phone number, as well as emergency phone numbers. Notification that the property has been legally transferred is important.
• Electric service, and telephone service must be closed out and paid by the seller. It is the responsibility of the new owner to personally contact the electric and telephone companies to have the new service in their names. This must be done by the new owners. The Title Company can not do this for you.

This is by no implication, a total and complete list of how your transaction should be handled,
