Arizona Home Warranty
Did you know your home insurance does not protect your systems and appliances?
In Arizona, you often get an opportunity for an inspection period to have all desired inspections performed even on a newly built home. In most cases, buyer’s hire a licensed home inspector to conduct an inspection of the home’s systems. Most home inspection services provide a summary report of “action items” and a complete photo-documented report with information on all facets of the home. However, what happens if one of these systems checked out but within the next year of use an issue arises? [Read more…]

Phase Five: Escrow, Inspections and Underwriting
“Opening Escrow” is the point of which the buyer’s earnest money and the entire contract are given to the title company. The title company is an independent trusted third-party. They receive and disburse money and/or documents for the transacting parties dependent on the agreed-upon provisions of the contract. The title company will be mindful of all time lines which is why “time is of the essence”.

These third parties brokers do pull their information directly from the Multiple Listing Service at some point but they don’t update as often or display as much information as you will receive directly from the source which is monitored and updated daily.

Contrary to the real-life stories of a few bad apples in the industry taking advantage of unsuspecting buyers, working with a mortgage lender or broker recommended by your real estate broker or realtor may end up saving you money and saving your transaction.
In my experience, most agents are reluctant to put their trust into mortgage brokers too.

When you work with a mortgage broker who has a strong track record of helping your realtor’s clients out, you get: [Read more…]
