BUYER FAQ
## Watchung Borough Frequently Asked Questions

What should I review before buying in Watchung Borough?
Buyers should evaluate property types (condo vs. co-op), building-specific financials, monthly maintenance or common charges, proximity to transportation, local amenities, and historical price trends in Watchung Borough.


Can the Buyer Advantage rebate apply to listings in Watchung Borough?
Yes, eligible listings in this neighborhood can qualify for a Buyer Advantage rebate. The exact rebate amount depends on the commission structure, buyer broker agreement, and transaction terms.


Are condos and co-ops different in Watchung Borough?
Yes. Condominiums represent real property ownership with higher flexibility (subletting, financing), while Co-operatives involve buying shares in a corporation with a proprietary lease and typically feature stricter board review processes and higher down payment requirements.


Should I speak with a buyer broker before touring homes?
Speaking with an independent buyer broker first ensures your interests are represented from day one, helps establish a clear search strategy, and ensures any eligible Buyer Advantage rebate opportunities are documented properly before contacting listing agents.
