WIRE FRAUD ADVISORY 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.

PROTECT YOURSELF

DO NOT TRUST EMAILS CONTAINING WIRE INSTRUCTIONS • If you receive an email containing wire transfer instructions, immediately call your escrow officer to ensure the validity of the instructions.

DO NOT TRUST EMAILS SEEKING PERSONAL/FINANCIAL INFORMATION • 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.

TRUST YOUR SOURCE OF INFORMATION • 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.

ONLINE RESOURCES: 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

VERIFY AND NOTIFY

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.

Before you make the decision to try to sell your home alone, consider the benefits a REALTOR® can provide that you may not be aware of.

A REALTOR®:

› K nows how to price your home realistically, to give you the highest price possible within your time frame. › I s experienced in creating demand for homes and how to show them to advantage. › K nows how to screen potential buyers and eliminate those who can’t qualify or are looking for bargain-basement prices.

- 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?

- know how to advertise effectively and what the costs will be?

› K nows how to go toe-to-toe in negotiations.

- understand the various types of loans buyers may choose and the advantages and disadvantages for the seller?

› I s always “on-call,” answering the phone at all hours, and showing homes evenings and weekends.

- 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?

Terms You Should Know Appraisal An estimate of value of property resulting from analysis of facts about the property; an opinion of value.

Annual Percentage Rate (APR) The borrower’s costs of the loan term expressed as a rate. This is not their interest rate.

Comparable Sales Sales that have similar characteristics as the subject real property, used for analysis in the appraisal. Commonly called “comps.”

Consummation Occurs when the borrower becomes contractually obligated to the creditor on the loan, not, for example, when the borrower becomes contractually obligated to a seller on a real estate transaction. The point in time when a borrower becomes contractually obligated to the creditor on the loan depends on applicable State law. Consummation is not the same as close of escrow or settlement.

Deed of Trust An instrument used in many states in place of a mortgage.

Deed Restrictions Limitations in the deed to a parcel of real property that dictate certain uses that may or may not be made of the real property.

Disbursement Date The date the amounts are to be disbursed to a buyer and seller in a purchase transaction or the date funds are to be paid to the borrower or a third party in a transaction that is not a purchase transaction.

Endorsement As to a title insurance policy, a rider or attachment forming a part of the insurance policy expanding or limiting coverage.

Legal Description A description of land recognized by law, based on government surveys, spelling out the exact boundaries of the entire parcel of land. It should so thoroughly identify a parcel of land that it cannot be confused with any other.

Lien A form of encumbrance that usually makes a specific parcel of real property the security for the payment of a debt or discharge of an obligation. For example, judgments, taxes, mortgages, deeds of trust.

Loan Estimate (LE) Form designed to provide disclosures that will be helpful to borrowers in understanding the key features, costs and risks of the mortgage loan for which they are applying. Initial disclosure to be given to the borrower three (3) business days after application.

Mortgage The instrument by which real property is pledged as security for repayment of a loan.

PITI A payment that includes Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance.

The Escrow Process WHAT IS AN ESCROW? 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.

HOW IS AN ESCROW OPENED? 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.

Understanding Title Insurance 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.

AZ Sellers Guide | 14

The Title Industry & Title Insurance in Brief

WHAT IS TITLE INSUR ANCE? 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.

WHY IS TITLE INSUR ANCE NEEDED? 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.

WHEN IS THE PREMIUM DUE? 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.

Coverage may vary based on an individual policy.

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 coverage 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.

Consider This One 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.

AZ Sellers Guide | 16

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.

Closing Your Escrow THE CLOSING DISCLOSURE 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 CLOSING OR SIGNING APPOINTMENT 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.

DON'T FORGET YOUR IDENTIFICATION 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.

WHAT HAPPENS NEX T? 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.

FOUR WEEKS BEFORE: Contact utility companies. Set utility turnoff date, seek refunds and deposits and notify them of your new address.
