Criminals are targeting social media and email to steal information. This is particularly common in real estate transactions because sensitive data, including social security numbers, bank account numbers, and wire instructions are often sent by electronic means. We do not want you to be the next victim of wire fraud. Money wired to a fraudulent account is stolen money that typically cannot be recovered. Additionally, there is generally no insurance for this loss. You may never get the money back.
• If you receive an email containing wire transfer instructions, immediately call your escrow officer to ensure the validity of the instructions.
• If you receive an email requesting personal/financial information or asking you to download, click on a link, send, and/or do anything that may seem unusual to you, call your escrow officer immediately prior to acting on the suspicious email to verify the validity of the email.
• Never direct, accept or allow anyone in the transaction to consent to receiving transfer instructions without a direct personal telephone call to the individual allegedly providing the instructions.
• It is imperative that this call be made to a number obtained in person from the individual or through other reliable means, not from a number provided in the email or the wiring instructions
There are many online sources that can provide useful information regarding similar topics including, but not limited to, the following sites:
The Federal Bureau of Investigation @ https://www.fbi.gov/scams and safety
The Internet Crime Complaint Center @ www.ic3.gov
The National White Collar Crime Center @ http://www.nw3c.org/research
On Guard Online @ www.onguardonline.gov
Before you wire funds to any party (including your lawyer, title agent, mortgage broker, or real estate agent) personally meet them or call a verified telephone number (not the telephone number in the email) to confirm before you act!
Immediately notify your banking institution and Settlement/Title Company if you are a victim of wire fraud.
The undersigned acknowledges receipt of this Wire Fraud Advisory.

Only you can determine whether you should attempt to sell your home—probably your largest investment—all alone. Talk with a REALTOR® before you decide. You may find working with a professional is a lot less expensive and much more beneficial than you ever imagined!
Many people believe they can save a considerable amount of money by selling their homes themselves. It may seem like a good idea at the time, but while you may be willing to take on the task, are you qualified? The following are some questions to help you realistically assess what’s involved.
- have the knowledge, patience, and sales skills needed to sell your home?
- know how to determine your home’s current market value?
- know how to determine whether or not a buyer can qualify for a loan?
- understand the steps of an escrow and what’s required of you and the buyer?
- need to hire a real estate attorney? If so, do you know what the cost will be and how much liability they will assume in the transaction?
- know how to advertise effectively and what the costs will be?
- understand the various types of loans buyers may choose and the advantages and disadvantages for the seller?
- have arrangements with an escrow and title company, home warranty company, pest-control service and lender to assist you with the transaction?
- aware of conditions in the marketplace today that affect value and length of time to sell?
- concerned about having strangers walking through your home?
- familiar enough with real estate regulations to prepare a binding sales contract? Counter-offers?
- aware that every time you leave your home, you are taking it off the market until you return?
- aware that prospective buyers and bargain hunters will expect you to lower your cost because there’s no REALTOR® involved?
- prepared to give up your evenings and weekends to show your home to potential buyers and “just-looking” time wasters?

Ask your REALTOR ® for advice; they know the marketplace and what helps a home sell. Here are some tips to present your home in a positive manner:
Repair or replace loud ventilating fans.
Replace worn shower curtains.
Rearrange furniture to make rooms appear larger. If possible, remove and/or store excess furniture, and avoid extension cords in plain view.
Remove clutter throughout the house. Organize and clean out closets.
Clean household appliances and make sure they work properly.
Air conditioners/heaters, evaporative coolers, hot water heater should be clean, working and inspected if necessary. Replace filters.
Check the pool and/or spa equipment and pumps. Make sure all are working properly and that the pool and/or spa are kept clean.
Inspect fences, gates and latches. Repair or replace as needed.
To make the best impression, keep your home clean, neat, uncluttered and in good repair. Please review this list prior to each showing:
Keep everything clean. A messy or dirty home will cause prospective buyers to notice every flaw.
Clear all clutter from counter tops.
Let the light in. Raise shades, open blinds, pull back the curtains and turn on the lights.
Get rid of odors such as tobacco, pets, cooking, etc., but don’t overdo air fresheners or potpourri. Fresh baked bread and cinnamon can make a positive impact.
Send pets away or secure them away from the house, and be sure to clean up after them.
Close the windows to eliminate street noise.
If possible you, your pets, and your children should be gone while your home is being shown.
Clean trash cans and put them out of sight.
If you must be present while your home is shown, keep noise down. Turn off the TV and radio. Soft, instrumental music is fine, but avoid vocals.
Keep the garage door closed and the driveway clear. Park autos and campers away from your home during showings

The escrow is the process of having a neutral party manage the exchange of money for real property. The escrow holder is known as an escrow or settlement officer or agent. The buyer deposits funds and the seller deposits a deed with the escrow holder along with all of the other documents required to remove all "contingencies" (conditions and approvals) in the purchase agreement prior to closing.
Once a purchase agreement is signed by all necessary parties, the agent representing the party who will pay the fee selects an escrow holder and the buyer's earnest money deposit and contract are submitted to the escrow holder. From this point, the escrow holder will follow the mutual written instructions of the buyer and seller, maintaining a neutral stance to ensure that neither party has an unfair advantage over the other. The escrow holder also follows the instructions of the Buyer's new lender, the seller's existing lender, and both parties' agents. The escrow holder ensures the transparency of the transaction, while carefully maintaining the privacy of the consumers.

Prior to the development of the title industry in the late 1800s, a home-buyer received a grantor’s warranty, attorney’s title opinion, or abstractor’s certificate as assurance of home ownership. The buyer relied on the financial integrity of the grantor, attorney, or abstractor for protection. Today, home-buyers look primarily to title insurance to provide this protection. Title insurance companies are regulated by state statute. They are required to post financial guarantees to ensure that any claims will be paid in a timely fashion. They also must maintain their own “title plants” which house duplicates of recorded deeds, mortgages, plats, and other pertinent county property records.
Title insurance provides coverage for certain losses due to defects in the title that, for the most part, occurred prior to your ownership. Title insurance protects against defects such as prior fraud or forgery that might go undetected until after closing and possibly jeopardize your ownership and investment.
Title insurance insures buyers against the risk that they did not acquire marketable title from the seller. It is primarily designed to reduce risk or loss caused by defects in title from the past. A loan policy of title insurance protects the interest of the mortgage lender, while an owner’s policy protects the equity of you, the buyer, for as long as you or your heirs (in certain policies) own the real property.
You pay for your owner’s title insurance policy only once, at the close of escrow. Who pays for the owner’s policy and loan policy varies depending on local customs.

As with any insurance contract, the insuring provisions express the coverage afforded by the title insurance policy and there are exceptions, exclusions and conditions to coverage that limit or narrow the coverage afforded by the policy. Also, some cov erage may not be available in a particular area or transaction due to legal, regulatory, or underwriting considerations. Please contact a First American representative for further information. The services described above are typical basic services. The services provided to you may be different due to the specifics of your transaction or the location of the real property involved.
EAGLE ALTA Standard or CLTA EAGLE ALTA Standard or CLTAOne escrow transaction could involve more than 20 individuals, including real estate agents, buyers, sellers, attorneys, escrow officer, escrow technician, title officer, loan officer, loan processor, loan underwriter, home inspector, termite inspector, insurance agent, home warranty representative, contractor, roofer, plumber, pool service, and so on. And often, one transaction depends on another.
When you consider the number of people involved, you can imagine the opportunities for delays and mishaps. Your experienced escrow team can’t prevent unforeseen problems from arising; however, they can help smooth out the process.
Once the loan is approved and all invoices and paperwork have been provided, the lender and escrow officer will collaborate on the preparation of the Closing Disclosure (CD). In order to close on time, all paperwork and invoices should be submitted at least 10 days prior to the expected close of escrow date. The borrower must receive the CD at least three days* prior to consummation of the loan (typically the signing date). The escrow officer will also prepare an estimated settlement statement and inform the buyer of the balance of the down payment and closing costs needed to close escrow.
*For purposes of the Closing Disclosure“business day” is defined as every day except Sundays and Federal legal holidays.
The escrow holder will contact you or your agent to schedule a closing or signing appointment. In some states, this is the "close of escrow." In some others, the close of escrow is either the day the documents record or that funds are disbursed. Ask your escrow holder if you would like clarification about your state's laws.
You will have a chance to review the settlement statement and supporting documentation. This is your opportunity to ask questions and clarify terms. You should review the settlement statement carefully and report discrepancies to the escrow officer. This includes any payments that may have been missed. You are responsible for all charges incurred even if overlooked by the escrow holder, so it's better to bring these to their attention before closing.
The escrow holder is obligated by law to have the designated amount of money before releasing any funds. If you have questions or foresee a problem, let your escrow holder know immediately.
You will need valid identification with your photo I.D. on it when you sign documents that need to be notarized (such as a deed). A driver's license is preferred. You will also be asked to provide your social security number for tax reporting purposes, and a forwarding address.
If the buyer is obtaining a new loan, the buyer’s signed loan documents will be returned to the lender for review. The escrow holder will ensure that all contract conditions have been met and will ask the lender to "fund the loan."
If the loan documents are satisfactory, the lender will send funds directly to the escrow holder. When the loan funds are received, the escrow holder will verify that all necessary funds are in. Escrow funds will be disbursed to the seller and other appropriate payees. Then, the REALTOR® will present the keys to the property to the buyer.
