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.

Benefits of using a Professional REALTOR

®

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®:

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.

Do you...

› U nderstands market conditions and has access to information not available to the average homeowner.

- have the knowledge, patience, and sales skills needed to sell your home?

› C an advertise effectively for the best results.

- k now how to determine your home’s current market value?

› 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?

- 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?

› 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. › C an remain objective when presenting offers and counter-offers on your behalf.

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

› C an help protect your rights, particularly important with the increasingly complicated real estate laws and regulations.

- concerned about having strangers walking through your home?

› I s experienced with resolving problems to facilitate a successful closing on your home.

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!

- f amiliar 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?

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 & 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.

AZ Sellers Guide | 14

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.

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 trouble-free 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.

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

Start packing. Begin packing for your new location.

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 your 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.
