To protect and reduce your risk, WFG has implemented the following procedures for outgoing and incoming wires:
Outgoing Wire from WFG to seller or borrower for proceeds
In the escrow paperwork provided you will be asked to provide written instructions on how you want funds due you sent to you at the close of escrow If you choose to have the funds sent via wire transfer, WFG will contact you by phone to confirm the wire information provided.
Incoming Wires from the buyer and/or lender to WFG bank account
For funds that are to be wired to WFG for your transaction, we will send specific wire instructions to the remitting person via an encrypted email. We recommend you reach out to your WFG contact to confirm the wire instructions prior to remittance.
We look forward to processing your escrow transaction for you. We know that this can be a stressful time and we are here to assist you in any way we can to make this a good experience
claims, or restrictions on the buyers property, other than the mortgage the buyer agrees to pay.
If the preliminary title search uncovers potential problems, a buyer can require that those problems be satisfactorily dealt with before closing on the home.
In addition, owner’s title insurance protects buyers against a myriad of risks that not even the most careful title search can uncover, including things such forged documents, undisclosed or missing heirs of a previous owner, fraud, will disputes, and unrecorded claims of many types.
Without owner’s title insurance, the legal costs to resolve such title claims could easily be in the tens of thousands of dollars and would have to be paid out of pocket by the buyer - not to mention the stress that such situations would cause to the buyer
Owner’s title insurance is one of the most affordable insurance policies a person can ever buy Unlike other forms of insurance, there is only a one-time fee at closing for the policy, which financially protects the buyer’s investment for as long as the buyer or the buyer’s heirs own the home.
So, if someone tells the buyer that owner’s title insurance is “optional”, that certainly does not mean that the buyer should not get it. Virtually every lender requires lender’s title insurance, but that insurance does not protect the buyer.
In order to safeguard the buyer’s investment in the property, which is possibly the most important investment the buyer will ever make, owner’s title insurance is absolutely critical.
WHAT IS ESCROW?
Both the buyer and seller rely on the escrow agent to carry out their written instructions relating to the transaction and to advise them if any of their instructions are not mutually consistent or cannot be carried out. If the instructions from all parties to an escrow are clearly drafted, the escrow officer can proceed on behalf of the buyer and seller without further consultation. This saves much time and facilitates the closing of the transaction.
TYPICAL ROLES IN THE CLOSING PROCESS
The Seller/Agent
Delivers a fully executed Purchase Sale Agreement to the escrow agent.
Executes the paperwork necessary to close the transaction
The Buyer/Agent
Deposits collected funds required to close (in with the escrow agent
Approves the commitment for title insurance, or other items as called for by the Purchase Sale Agreement
Executes the paperwork and loan documents necessary to close the transaction
The Lender
Deposits loan documents to be executed by the buyer
Deposits the loan proceeds
Directs the escrow agent of the conditions under which the loan funds may be used
The Escrow Agent
Clears Title
Obtains title insurance
Obtains payoffs and release documents for underlying loans on the property
Receives funds from the buyer and/or lender. Prepares vesting document affidavit on seller’s behalf
Prorates insurance, taxes, rents, etc
Prepares a final statement (often referred to as the “HUD Statement” or ”Settlement Statement”) for each party, indicating amounts paid in conjunction with the closing of your transaction
Forwards deed to the county for recording
Once the proper documents have been recorded, the escrow agent will distribute funds to the proper parties
In Summary
Escrow is the process that assembles and processes many of the components of a real estate transaction. The sale is officially closed when the new deed is recorded and funds are available to the seller, thus transferring ownership from the seller to the buyer
The escrow agent is a neutral third party acting on behalf of the buyer and seller.
WHAT IS TITLE?
About Title Insurance
Title is a bundle of rights in real property. Protecting purchasers and lenders against loss is accomplished by the issuance of a title insurance policy Usually, during a purchase transaction, the lender requests a policy (commonly referred to as the Lender’s Policy) while the buyers receive their own policy (commonly referred to as an Owner's Policy)
In short, the policy states that if the status of the title to a parcel of real property is other than as represented, and if the insured (either the owner or lender) suffers a loss as a result of a title defect, the insurer will reimburse the insured for that loss and any related legal expenses, up to the face amount of the policy, subject to exceptions and exclusions contained in the policy
Typically there are two policies issued. The Mortgagee’s Policy insures the lender for the amount of the loan. The Owner’s Policy insures the purchaser of the purchase price.
How is title insurance different from other types of insurance?
While the function of most other forms of insurance is risk assumption through the pooling of risks for losses arising out of unforeseen future events (such as sickness or accidents), the primary purpose of title insurance is to eliminate risks and prevent losses caused by defects in title arising out of events that have happened in the past To achieve this goal, title insurers perform an extensive search and examination of the public records to determine whether there are any adverse claims (title defects) attached to the subject property Said defects/claims are either eliminated prior to the issuance of a title policy
or their existence is excepted from coverage. Your policy is issued after the closing of your new home, for a one-time nominal fee, and is good for as long as you own the property
What’s involved in a title search? A title search is actually made up of three separate searches:
Chain of Title – History of the ownership of the subject property
Tax Search – The tax search reveals the status of the taxes and assessments
Judgment and Name Search – Searches for judgment and liens against the owners’ and purchasers’ names
Once the three searches have been completed, the file is reviewed by an examiner who determines:
Whether or not the Chain of Title shows that the party selling the property has the right to do so The status of taxes for the subject property The Tax Search will also indicate the existence of any special assessments against the land and whether or not these assessments are current or past due
Whether there are any unsatisfied judgments on the Judgment and Name Search against the previous owners, sellers, or and purchasers.
Rights established by judgment decrees, unpaid federal income taxes and mechanic liens all may be prior claims on the property, ahead of the buyer’s or lender’s rights The title search will only uncover defects in title that are of public record, thus allowing the title company to work with the seller to clear up these issues and provide the new buyer with title insurance
In Summary
After the searches have been examined, the title company will issue a commitment, stating the conditions under which it will insure title The buyer, seller and the mortgage lender will proceed with the closing of the transaction after clearing up any defects in the title that have been uncovered by the search and examination

Slight Seller's Advantage
Each segment below represents approximately 25% of the market ordered by price
Median List Price
Prices in this zip are remaining at a plateau, albeit significantly below the market’s peak. This week prices bumped down a bit, but not enough to indicate a resumed downward trend. Look for a persistent up-shift in the Market Action Index before we see prices significantly move from these levels. 7-Day Median
Segments
In most of the quartile market segments, we see prices in this zip code have stabilized recently. Only Quartile 4 shows any price increases in the last few weeks. Often this condition happens in markets where demand has fallen (for example, due to micro-location variables) but supply is still relatively short. Buyers are focusing on the lowest price homes in the area.
Price Per Square Foot
While prices have been basically flat, the price per square foot has been heading downward. While not a sign of broad strength in a market, larger homes are coming more available and buyers are tending to get more home for their money.
Inventory
Inventory has been climbing lately. Note that rising inventory alone does not signal a weakening market. Look to the Market Action Index and Days on Market trends to gauge whether buyer interest is keeping up with available supply.

Three of the four quartiles of this zip code are in the Seller’s Market zone with relatively low amounts of inventory given the current levels of demand. It’s not uncommon that the premium segment of the market takes longer to sell than the rest of the group.
