?? Are Homes Shrinking? Let’s Talk Trends! ?? Over the years, the average home size has been decreasing. But why the shift? And what does it means for the future of homeownership? ??

Don’t Skip the Fine Print! ???? Escrow instructions are the roadmap to a smooth closing—reviewing them carefully ensures everyone is on the same page. Double check names, terms, and conditions to avoid last minute surprises. Have questions? Your escrow team is here to help! ?

Title and escrow may go hand in hand, but they serve very different purposes in a real estate transaction! ?? Title ensures the property’s ownership is clear, protecting buyers and lenders from any legal issues. ?? Escrow is the neutral third party that holds funds and documents until all conditions are met, ensuring a smooth closing. Understanding the difference can help you navigate the process with confidence! Have questions? Let’s connect!

Kicking off your week with another important escrow tip! The sooner your lender and escrow officer can meet and communicate, the better!

Pending home sales are on the rise! ???? Whether your clients are looking to make a move or just curious about the market, staying informed and partnering with the best title company (that’s us!) is key! ???

Wire fraud is on the rise! ??Do you know the signs? Read below: Alarm bells should immediately be going off in your head if you receive an email from the alleged title company using generic wording such as “I’m with your closing agency”. ?? Scammers have been known to create emails that can seem very legitimate or closely resemble the real email address. Be sure to look out for misspelled words, “urgent” instructions, and/or changes to the original wire transfer instructions. It’s not common for title companies to change wire transfer information midway through a home sale - especially if the message you are receiving has an unfamiliar tone or greeting. ?? If you receive an email from what appears to be your title company and they are asking for you to send money to a new account, call your title company directly (using a trusted phone number) before taking any action. ?? Do not respond to the email, do not open any of the links in the email, and do not call the phone number included in the email. ??
