Pine, Colorado, was originally settled in the mid 1800s, during the early days of Colorado's gold rush. The area, named for the abundant ponderosa pines, grew as a mining and timber community, with the nearby South Platte River providing a crucial water source. Over time, as mining declined, Pine became more known for its farming and ranching, and today it is a peaceful rural community that retains much of its historic charm.

MOVING CHECKLIST

8 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR MOVE

Inventory Sheets: Create an inventory sheet of all your belongings which need to be moved

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 Quote: Solicit moving quotes from as many moving companies and movers as possible. There can be a large di erence between rates and services within moving companies.

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

Packing Material: Gather moving boxes and packing material for your move.

Contact Insurance Companies: You’ll need to contact your insurance agent to cancel/transfer your insurance policy.

4 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR MOVE

Start Packing: Begin packing all things destined for your new location.

Obtain Your Medical Records: Contact your doctor, physician, dentist 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 if changing. Security is critical of personal records.

Note Food Inventory Levels: Check your cupboards, refrigerator and freezer. Use up as much of your perishable food as possible.

Small Engines: Service small engines for your move by extracting gas and oil from the machines. This will reduce that chance to catch re during your move.

Protect Jewelry and Valuables: Transfer your jewelry and valuables to a safety deposit box; you don’t want them to 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.

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

Travel Items: Set aside all items you’ll need while traveling. Make sure these are not packed on the moving truck..

Contact Utility Companies: Set utility turno date, seek refunds and deposits and notify them of your new address.

MOVING DAY

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 a sitters for the day.

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

Double Check With Your Mover: Ensure the mover has the new property address and all of your most recent contact information, should they have any questions during your move.

Vacate Your Home: Make sure utilities are o , doors and windows are locked and notify your real estate agent you’ve vacated the property.

Questions To Ask: Where is the garage door opener? Where are the keys to the house, mailbox and other lockable area? Did you retrieve all keys from neighbors and friends?

TITLE & ESCROW

CYBER SECURITY

Because of you… we obsess over

cyber security!

Cyber fraud and email hacking is on the rise. Fraudsters may access individual email accounts and monitor the life of your transaction. At the time funds are due to the escrow, fraudsters intercept the information for wiring funds and the fraudsters change the information without the knowledge of the sender or recipient, resulting in the funds being sent to an outside account and never credited to the intended party.

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 dispersed at the close of escrow. If you choose to have the funds sent via wire transfer, WFG will contact you by phone to con rm the wire information provided.

Incoming Wires from buyer and/or lender to WFG bank account

For funds that are to be wired to WFG for your transaction, we will send speci c wire instructions to the remitting person via an encrypted email. We recommend you reach out to your WFG contact to con rm 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.

http://national.wfgnationaltitle.com/2016/04/05/obsess-cyber-security/

WIRE FRAUD

PROTECT YOUR MONEY WHEN BUYING A HOME: YOUR WIRE FRAUD CHECKLIST

Every day, hackers try to steal your money by emailing fake wire instructions. Criminals will use a similar email address and steal a logo and other info to make it look like the email came from your real estate agent or title company. You can protect yourself and your money by following the steps below.

Don’t send sensitive nancial information via email.

Call, don’t email. Con rm your wiring instructions by phone using a known number before transferring funds.

We will never email wiring instructions to you nor change WFG account information after it’s been provided to you by our sta .

Keep your email account clean, remove any stale messages. Hackers can watch your business patterns and use this information against you.

Ask your bank to con rm the name on the account before sending a wire.

Call your title company or real estate agent within four to eight hours to con rm they have received your money.

This is for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal advice.

WHAT IS ESCROW

When your o er has been accepted and conveyed, escrow is opened. An escrow is an arrangement made under contract between a buyer and seller. As the neutral third party, escrow is responsible for receiving and disbursing money and/ or documents. Both the buyer and seller expect the escrow agent to carry out their written instructions associated with the transaction and also to advise them if any of their instructions are not being met, or cannot be met. If the instructions from all parties to an escrow are clearly set out, the escrow o cer can proceed on behalf of the buyer and seller without further consultation.

TYPICAL ROLES IN THE CLOSING PROCESS

The Seller/Agent

• Delivers Purchase Sale Agreement to the escrow agent

• Prepares the paperwork necessary to close the transaction

• Approves the commitment for title insurance, or other items as called for by the Purchase Sale Agreement

The Buyer/Agent

• Deposits funds required to close with the escrow agent

• Executes the paperwork and loan documents necessary to close the transaction

The Lender

• Deposits loan documents to be provided by the buyer

• Deposits the loan funds

• Informs the escrow agent of the conditions under which the loan funds may be used

The Escrow Agent

• Clears Title

• Obtains title insurance

• Obtains payo s and release documents for underlying loans on the property

• Receives funds from the buyer and/or lender

• Prepares vesting document a davit on seller’s behalf

• Prorates insurance, taxes, rents, etc.

• Prepares a nal statement (often referred to as the Closing Disclosure or CD) 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

Escrow is the process that gathers and processes many of the components of a real estate transaction. The escrow agent is a neutral third party acting on behalf of the buyer and seller.

WHAT IS TITLE

Title insurance insures against nancial loss from defects in title, liens, or other matters. It protects both purchasers and lenders against loss 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).

It will protect against lawsuits if the status of the title to a parcel or real property is other than as represented, and if the insured (either the owner or lender) su ers a loss as a result of a title defect. The insurer will reimburse the insured for that loss and any related legal expenses.

How is title insurance di erent than other types of insurance?

While the purpose of most other types of insurance is to assume risk through the pooling of monies for losses happening because of unforeseen future events (like 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, title insurers perform a thorough search and examination of the public records to determine whether there are any adverse claims (title defects) attached to the subject property. These defects/claims are either eliminated prior to the issuance of a title policy or their existence is excepted from coverage. The 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 made up of three separate searches:

• Chain of Title – History of the ownership of the subject property

• Lien & Encumbrance Search – Discloses liens and encumbrances on the subject property

• Exceptions from Coverage Search –Includes Easements, Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, etc.

After the three searches have been completed, the le is reviewed by an examiner who determines:

• If the Chain of Title shows that the party selling the property has the rights to do so.

• Whether there are any unsatis ed 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 mechanics liens all may be prior claims on the property, ahead of the buyer’s or lender’s rights. The title search will only uncover issues in title that are of public record and therefore allowing the title company to work with the seller to clear up these issues and provide the new buyer with title insurance.

Once 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.

The distinction between personal property and real property can be the source of di culties in a real estate transaction. A purchase contract is normally written to include all real property; that is, all aspects of the property that are fastened down or which are an integral part of the structure. For example, this would include light xtures, drapery rods, attached mirrors, and trees and shrubs in the ground. It would not include potted plants, free-standing refrigerators, washer/dryer, microwave, bookcases, lamps, etc. If there is any uncertainty whether an item is included in the sale or not, it is best to be sure that the particular item is mentioned in the purchase agreement as being included or excluded.

The market has not shown strong directional trends in terms of supply and demand. However, inventory is sufficiently low to keep us in the Seller’s Market zone and prices have been moving upward as evidence.

Each segment below represents approximately 25% of the market ordered by price.

Median List Price

The market for this zip code continues its bounce again this week. We're a long way from the market's high point so watch the Market Action Index to predict how long this trend will last.

Segments

In the quartile market segments, we see prices in this zip code generally settled at a plateau, although Quartile 2 is on a bit of an up trend in recent weeks. We'll need to see a persistent shift in the Market Action Index before we see prices across the board move from these levels.

Price Per Square Foot

The market appears to be placing an increasing premium on homes. When list prices and price per square foot consistently increase in tandem, as they're doing now, you can often find short-term investment opportunities. Watch the Market Action Index for persistent changes as a leading indicator for these trends to flatten or drop.

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.

The market has not shown strong directional trends in terms of supply and demand. However, inventory is sufficiently low to keep us in the Seller’s Market zone and prices have been moving upward as evidence.

Market Action Segments

Not surprisingly, all segments in this zip code are showing high levels of demand. Watch the quartiles for changes before the whole market changes. Often one end of the market (e.g. the highend) will weaken before the rest of the market and signal a slowdown for the whole group.
