PRECAUTIONS YO U SHO U LD B E

AWA R E OF

IN THE REAL ESTATE CLOSING PROCESS

DO NOT TRUST EMAILED INSTRUCTIONS Fraudsters often use email to send falsified wire instructions to unsuspecting victims.

Please warn your buyers and sellers to only follow wire instructions they receive personally from First American Title.

Additionally, we will not accept disbursement instructions for seller or buyer funds via email OR from any third party (attorney, real estate agent, etc).

W I RE F R A U D A LE RT T H I N K D I F F E R E N T LY

ALTERNATIVE INSTRUCTIONS?

Email-based, real estate fraud schemes are on the rise. One common scenario is altering wiring instructions with the intention of rerouting funds.

If your buyer or seller receives alternative wiring instructions that appear to be from First American Title, make sure they contact their escrow officer at a trusted phone number for confirmation.

Keeping this in mind, First American Title is changing the way we receive payment information. It is imperative that we are familiar with the people in our transactions.

RELYING ON EMAIL ALONE IS NO LONGER AN OPTION.

Know that our wiring instructions do not change so any communication is suspect.

Our banking institution is First American Trust.

IN SHO RT – wire instructions will not

be accepted by email. New wire instructions must be hand-carried or uploaded to the First American Secure Portal.

Thank you for joining First American Title in fostering a secure real estate transaction process.

Have questions or concerns? Please contact our office or your escrow officer.

For more information please contact your First American representative.

The following are some questions to help you realistically assess what’s involved: — Do you have the knowledge, patience, and sales skill needed to sell your home?

— If your buyer is aggressive, can you negotiate a successful outcome for yourself?

— Do you know how to determine the current market value of your home?

— A re you aware of conditions in the marketplace today that affect value and length of time to sell?

— A re you familiar enough with real estate regulations to prepare a binding sales contract? Counter-offers?

— A re you aware that every time you leave your home, you are taking it off the market until you return?

— H ave you made arrangements with an escrow and title company, home warranty company, pest-control service and lender to assist you with the transaction?

— D o you know how to advertise effectively and what the costs will be?

— A re you aware that prospective buyers and bargain hunters will expect you to lower your cost because there’s no REALTOR® involved?

— D o you understand the various types of loans buyers may choose and the advantages and disadvantages for the seller?

— A re you prepared to give up your evenings and weekends to show your home to potential Buyers and “just-looking” time wasters?

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.

The title industry and title insurance in brief.

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.

What is title insurance?

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 insurance 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.

* Deductible and maximum limits apply. Not available to investors on 1- to 4-unit residential properties. ** ** Subject to underwriting approval. See policy for exact statements of coverage. All coverages subject to special exceptions set forth in Schedule B of the 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.

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.

AZ Buyers Guide | 16

Closing Your Escrow What to do before the closing appointment.

Your escrow officer or escrow technician will contact you to schedule your closing appointment and inform you of the funds you need to bring with you. Obtain a cashier’s check for that amount made payable to First American Title. If a wire transfer is necessary, arrange for it in advance with your escrow officer.

First American Title is required by law to have funds deposited before escrow funds can be disbursed. Expect delays if you submit a personal check! If you have questions or anticipate a problem, contact your escrow officer immediately.

Don’t forget your identification.

You will need valid identification with your photo; a driver’s license is preferred. This is necessary so that your identity can be sworn to by a notary public. It’s a routine step, but it’s important for your protection.

What happens next?

During your signing appointment at First American Title, you will sign loan documents for the home you are purchasing and you will present your identification so the documents can be notarized. You will review the settlement statement and give the escrow officer your cashier’s check. (The seller will sign at a separate appointment.)

First American Title will confirm that all contract conditions have been met and ask the lender to “fund the loan.” If the loan documents are satisfactory, the lender will send funds directly to First American Title. When all necessary funds are received we will disperse escrow funds to the seller and other appropriate payees. The signed loan documents will be returned to the lender. We will record the deed at the county recorder’s office.

At this time your escrow is closed.

After the Closing We recommend you keep all records pertaining to your home together in a safe place, including all purchase documents, insurance, maintenance and improvements.

Loan payments and impounds. You should receive a statement from your lender before your first payment is due. If you have not been notified, or if you have questions about your tax and insurance impounds, contact your lender.

Home Warranty Repairs. If you have a home warranty policy, call your home warranty company directly for repairs. Have your policy number available when you call.

Title Insurance Policy. First American Title will deliver your policy and your recorded deed.

Property Taxes. You may not receive a tax statement for the current year on the home you buy; however, it is your obligation to make sure the taxes are paid when due. Check with your mortgage company to find out if taxes are included with your payment. For more information on your property taxes, contact your county treasurer’s office.

Planning Your Move Six Weeks Before: Create an inventory sheet of items to move.

Research moving options. You’ll need to decide if yours is a do-it-yourself move or if you’ll be using a moving company.

Request moving quotes. Solicit moving quotes from as many moving companies and movers as possible. There can be a large difference between rates and services within moving companies.

One Week Before: Plan your itinerary. Make plans to spend the entire day at the house or at least until the movers are on their way.

Someone will need to be around to make decisions. Make plans for kids and pets to be at the sitters for the day.

Change of address. Visit USPS for change of address form.

Bank accounts. Notify bank of address change. Make sure to have a money order for paying the moving company if you are transferring or closing accounts.

Discard unnecessary items. Moving is a great time for ridding yourself of unnecessary items. Have a yard sale or donate unnecessary items to charity.

Service automobiles. If automobiles will be driven long distances, you’ll want to have them serviced for a troublefree drive.

Packing materials. Gather moving boxes and packing materials for your move.

Cancel services. Notify any remaining service providers (newspapers, lawn services, etc) of your move.

Contact insurance companies. (Life, Health, Fire, Auto) You’ll need to contact your insurance agent to cancel/ transfer your insurance policy. Do not cancel your insurance policy until you have and closed escrow on the sale.

Start packing. Begin packing for your new location.

Seek employer benefits. If your move is work-related, your employer may provide funding for moving expenses.

Your human resources rep should have information on this policy.

Changing Schools. If changing schools, contact new school for registration process.

Four Weeks Before: Contact utility companies. Set utility turnoff date, seek refunds and deposits and notify them of your new address.

Obtain your medical records. Contact your doctors, physicians, dentists and other medical specialists who may currently be retaining any of your family’s medical records. obtain these records or make plans for them to be delivered to your new medical facilities.

Note food inventory levels. Check your cupboards, refrigerator and freezer to use up as much of your perishable food as possible.

Service small engines for your move by extracting gas and oil from the machines. This will reduce the chance to catch fire during your move.

Protect jewelry and valuables. Transfer jewelry and valuables to safety deposit box so they can not be lost or stolen during your move.

Borrowed and rented items. Return items which you may have borrowed or rented. Collect items borrowed to others.

AZ Sellers Guide | 18

Travel items. Set aside items you’ll need while traveling and those needed until your new home is established.

Make sure these are not packed in the moving truck!

Scan your furniture. Check furniture for scratches and dents before so you can compare notes with your mover on moving day.

Prepare Floor Plan. Prepare floor plan for your new home.

This will help avoid confusion for you and your movers.

Moving Day: Review the house. Once the house is empty, check the entire house (closets, the attic, basement, etc) to ensure no items are left or no home issues exist.

Sign the bill of lading. Once you are satisfied with the mover’s packing your items into the truck, sign the bill of lading. If possible, accompany your mover while the moving truck is being weighed.

Double check with your mover. Make sure your mover has the new address and your contact information should they have any questions during your move.

Vacate your home. Make sure utilities are off, doors and windows are locked and notify your real estate agent you’ve left the property.
