CC&Rs
Covenants, conditions, and restrictions, commonly called “CC&Rs” are a set of rules governing the use of a certain piece of real estate in a given community.
When living in a home or condominium that is restricted by CC&Rs, an owner gives up certain freedoms in order to be part of a shared community. For example, most condominium building associations have smoking restrictions, parking and noise level rules, aesthetic guidelines for paint color, height restrictions, and minimum and maximum square footage requirements Some CC&Rs can regulate the fences around a house, the type of garbage cans allowed, and whether parties can open businesses in the community
CC&Rs are usually enforced by a homeowners’ association (HOA), neighborhood associations, or the initial builders / developers of the community They are most frequently seen in planned communities or common interest developments such as condominium complex buildings or private neighborhoods
To find out if CC&Rs are on the subject property’s title report and to get an emailed copy, reach out to your title company:

TITLE & ESCROW CLOSING PROCESS
WHAT IS TITLE INSURANCE?
So, you’re buying a house It’s an exciting time It can also be a bit confusing Things feel like they’re happening pretty fast and, often, some important things can go unexplained – like title insurance. To help you understand the purpose and importance of title insurance, Stewart Title has put together this helpful overview
WHAT IS TITLE?
Simply stated, the title to a piece of property is the evidence that the owner is in lawful possession of that property
WHAT IS TITLE INSURANCE?
Title insurance protects real estate owners and lenders against any property loss or damage they might experience because of liens, encumbrances or the defects in the title to the property Each title insurance policy is subject to specific terms, conditions and exclusions
HOW DOES TITLE INSURANCE DIFFER FROM OTHER INSURANCE?
Insurance such as car, life, health, etc., protects against potential future events and is paid for with monthly or annual premiums A title policy insures against events that occurred in the past of the real property and the people who owned it, for a one-time premium paid at the close of the escrow
WHAT DOES IT COVER?
Title insurance protects against claims from defects. Defects are things such as another person claiming an ownership interest, improperly recorded documents, fraud, forgery, liens, encroachments, easements and other items that are specified in the actual policy
WHO NEEDS IT?
Home buyers and lenders need title insurance in order to be insured against various possible title defects The buyer, seller and lender all benefit from the issuance of title insurance.
HOW IS A TITLE POLICY CREATED?
The creation of a title policy begins by searching the public records for defects, such as liens or legal judgments, which could interfere with the transfer of the property’s title Once the title is deemed free and clear of defects, the prospective new owner receives a preliminary report for review and approval. If the prospective buyer approves the “prelim,” the escrow officer will record the document after closing and settlement, and the title policy will be created
WHAT IS ESCROW?
Escrow refers to the process in which the funds of a transaction (such as the sale of a house) are held by a third party, often the title company or an attorney in the case of real estate, pending the fulfillment of the transaction
WHAT ARE THE POLICY TYPES?
A standard policy insures the new owner/home buyer, and a lender’s policy insures the priority of the lender’s security interest
TITLE INSURANCE FAQ’S
Q: What is title insurance?
A: An opinion of the condition of title to real property, backed by an insurance policy.
Q: Why do I need title insurance?
A: When you buy a home, or a property for that matter, you expect to enjoy certain benefits from ownership For example, you expect to be able to occupy and use the property as you wish, to be free from debts or obligations not created or agreed to by you, and to be able to freely sell or pledge your property as security for a loan. Title insurance is designed to cover these rights.
Q: What if I have a problem? Do I have to lose my property to make a claim?
A: Not at all At the mere hint of a claim adverse to your title, you should contact your title insurer who issued you policy. Title insurance includes coverage for legal expenses which may be necessary to investigate, litigate or settle an adverse claim.
Q: What does this cost?
A: The cost varies, depending mainly on the value of your property The important thing to remember is that you only pay once, and then the coverage continues in effect for so long as you have an interest in the covered property. If you should die, the coverage automatically continues for the benefit of your heirs. If you sell your property, giving warranties of title to your buyer, your coverage continues. Likewise, if a buyer gives you a mortgage to finance a purchase of covered property from you, your coverage continues to protect your security interest in the property
Q: If my lender gets title insurance for its mortgage, why do I also need a policy?
A: The lender’s policy covers only the amount of its loan, which is usually not the full property value. In the event of an adverse claim, the lender ordinarily wouldn’t be concerned unless its loan became non-performing, and the claim threatened the lender’s ability to foreclose and recover its principal and interest And, in the event of a claim there is no provision for payment of legal expenses for an uninsured party
UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS: PRELIMINARY TITLE REPORTS
The Title Company begins the process of preparing a preliminary report once they have received an order for title services. Our search experts assemble various public records relating to both the property being purchased and the people involved in the transaction
After examining the information gathered, an examiner prepares the preliminary report, which shows:
current ownership of that specific parcel of land any liens and encumbrances the title company will not cover under the subsequent title policy
What is the point of the preliminary report?
The preliminary report gives the conditions for The Title Company to issue a particular type of policy. It lists title defects, liens and encumbrances that would not be covered if the title policy were issued as of the date of the report. The preliminary report provides an opportunity to request that actions be taken to remove the objectionable items listed in the report
If the objectionable items are not eliminated or released prior to the closing and transfer of title, they will be listed as exceptions on the final policy, meaning they will not be covered. For example, the seller could be required to pay a contractor who placed a lien on the property so that the lien would be removed
Is a preliminary report just another name for the title policy?
No. The preliminary report provides the statement of the conditions needing to be addressed in order for a title policy to be issued. The preliminary report offers no representation of the condition of the property’s title. It does not create a contract of liability, which means it provides no protection to the recipient An actual title policy must be issued in order to provide protection and prevent parties other than the policy recipient from claiming the benefit of owning the property
(continued on next page)
UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS: PRELIMINARY TITLE REPORTS
What key points should one look for in a preliminary report?
You will want to pay particular attention to: the extent of ownership rights, including any possible ownership interest on the part of parties other than the seller items listed as being excluded from coverage, including liens, restrictions and interest of others (listed numerically as exceptions) interest of third parties. For example, easements limiting use of the property granted by a prior owner.
A list of standard exceptions and exclusions of items not covered by your title policy may be attached to your report; if so, you should review this as well
Who can best explain a preliminary report?
Your title agent, your real estate agent or, should you have one, your attorney can help explain the specifics of your preliminary report. Don’t hesitate to ask any one of them to
WHAT HAPPENS: CONTRACT TO CLOSING
There’s a lot that happens between the time a buyer finds a house and the day they own it. To help you better understand what happens after the Sold sign is posted, we’ve listed the seven basic steps of transferring a land title.
An escrow contract (an agreement to close) starts the process
Earnest Money Title Search Document Preparation Examination Settlement or Closing Recording of Legal Documents 4 1 2 5 6 3 7
Nonpublic Record Check
Taxes, assessments, liens, bills and other nonpublic information are reviewed
Copies of documents (surveys, deeds, encroachments, restrictions, assessments, liens, wills, divorce settlements, etc) are gathered from various public records
Legal owner, debts owed and encumbrances on the land are verified
Forms are prepared for settlement and transfer of title.
Either an escrow officer or a closer will oversee the closing of the transaction. Seller signs the deed; buyer signs note and new mortgage Old loan is paid off; new loan is recorded Seller, real estate agents, attorneys, title company and others are paid. Owner’s and lender’s policies are issued

Recognize common indicators of cyber-fraud:
Emails with poor grammar and/or typographical errors
Slight, typically unnoticeable-at-first-glance changes in the email address
Emails requesting last-minute changes to wiring information (eg, particularly changes in the beneficiary and/or receiving bank)
Requests for wire transfers late in the day or week or outside of business hours
Emails with poor grammar and/or typographical errors
Slight, typically unnoticeable-at-first-glance changes in the email address
Suggested best practices for transmitting and receiving sensitive information:
Send emails with sensitive, personal information, through encrypted email only.
Verify requests to change wiring instructions through a trusted method (like a phone number previously verified); never use the phone number in the email.
Verify wire transfer requests to locations outside normal business areas.
Never click on any links in an unverified or unexpected email.
Always question attachments and links that are sent unencrypted.
What to do if you believe you are a victim of cyberfraud:
If money was wired in response to fraudulent wiring instructions, immediately call all banks and financial institutions that could put a stop to the wire or your funds.
Contact your local police or local municipalities’ real estate fraud division.
Contact any other parties who may have been exposed to the cyber-fraud so that appropriate action may be taken.
Change all usernames and passwords associated with any account that you believe may have been compromised.
Report any cybercrime activity to the Federal Bureau of Investigation Internet Crime Complaint Center: www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx.
