Tucher-Engel Family Jane recently helped our family navigate a sale and purchase. On the sell side, Jane’s work secured an all-cash offer that closed in 7 days and resulted in a price that far exceeded our wildest hopes. Her team took care of everything from replacing plumbing fixtures, to painting, to personally interacting with the more than 100 prospective buyers that flowed through our house during the first weekend of open houses. Jane is one of the few brokers that will hold your house open on both Saturday and Sunday - a brilliant move since most house shoppers are chomping at the bit by the time Saturday rolls around. On the buy side, Jane and her team painstakingly scrutinized every home that came on the market that met our criteria for months. Jane’s network of relationships with other brokers and her status as a top performer means selling brokers take her calls and provide extra detail and insight critical to your ability to evaluate each prospect. By the time you consider bidding on a house with Jane, you know everything there is to know about the house, including the motivation of the sellers and the range your offer will need to be in order to prevail. Jane was available to us 24/7. She communicated clearly and fully. She kept us apprised and answered every question we put to her with grace and humor. I’ve never worked with someone with such a broad set of professional skills. The only downside to our now being happily moved in to our new house is that we won’t be able to work with Jane anymore.”

The McKillop - Nussbam Family “Jane did an outstanding job for our family in the selling of our Piedmont home. She brings to the process a thorough understanding of the Piedmont real estate market and community. Her guidance and recommended resources during the preparation of our house for sale were spot on. During the negotiation phase Jane lead us through the process, helping to evaluate offers and obtain the best overall agreement. We continue to value Jane not only as a business partner but as a neighbor.”

The La Piana -McFarland Family “After 18 years in our lovely Piedmont home we fell in love with a new house we stumbled across. We had no realtor and no plans for selling our current home. We called Jane on the recommendation of a friend and she helped us to make the decision to move forward, then to negotiate the purchase at a fair price including the almost unheard of contingency in this market of needing to sell our current home. The offer was accepted and Jane swung into action on our Piedmont home. Within days we had an army of craftsmen, helpers, and painters in, completing what my wife described as ten years of deferred maintenance in 10 days. Jane then organized the marketing of our house. After one weekend of open houses, over a week of showings we had more than 130 potential buyers through the house and sold it with multiple offers, well over asking, on terms all in our favor. Jane coordinated simultaneous closings working very well with both our buyers’ realtor and the realtor representing the sellers of our new house. Throughout this process Jane and her team were amazingly responsive, flexible and supportive. At the end of this process we consider both Jane, and her assistant Carrie, to be good friends.”

Laura Pochop & Chad Olcott - Owners of Mulberry’s Market “We can’t say enough about working with Jane Strauch to list and sell our Piedmont home. Jane was a critical piece of the entire process. She helped us think through the most effective timing and to come up with the right sale price, and she also guided us through most effectively ‘fluffing’ our family home to make it attractive to the widest audience of potential buyers. She even helped arrange for us to stay in a hotel for a week during the busiest week of showings, and took care of our dog to boot. Talk about full -service! We were thrilled with the results — multiple offers for well over the asking price within two weeks.”

The Stein-Merit Family “What can I say but Thank you, thank you, Thank you! You have been so wonderful throughout the many months of our house search, and I feel so lucky to have found not only a wonderful realtor but a great new friend. We are so excited to move into our new house and thank you for all of your patience, perseverance, hard work and humor – you are simply the best!”

Our Professional Relationship An Overview of Working Together My Commitment to You I am a full time professional real estate agent, educated in the legal aspects of real estate practice and licensed by the State of California to provide real estate services. I abide by a strict Code of Ethics to provide you with the highest level of service. Affiliated with The Grubb Company, I am part of a team of experienced Realtors with the highest market share in Northern California. I am committed to serving you with integrity, respect and confidentially.

Skilled Service A large part of my work is performed “behind the scenes”; previewing homes, researching comparable sales and market trends, gaining market knowledge, communicating with colleagues, evaluating changing legislation and maintaining my professional credentials. For every hour I spend showing you homes, I will spend numerous hours in preparation. I am constantly acquiring material that will help me to better serve you.

How I Am Compensated Real Estate agents are independent contractors and their commissions are in most cases, paid out of the seller’s proceeds upon successful completion of a sale. Typically, the property owner has already signed a listing agreement which allows the sellers broker/agent to market the property in the Multiple Listing Service/MLS and offer a commission to the buyer’s broker/agent. Commission is negotiable and in reality has been factored in to the mutually agreed upon final sales price. *See Jane to elaborate further.

Communication is Key I will be available for communication as often as necessary and will answer any questions you may have. I intend to be a resource for you and expect that our relationship will continue long after the close of escrow. – See Jane’s Policies

Realizing Your Home Ownership Dream Buying Versus Renting Trends in home prices, personal income, and mortgage rates — combined with the tax advantages of home ownership — make this an excellent time to turn the dream of owning a home into a reality. If you’re thinking of purchasing a home, you’ve probably already asked yourself, “Can I afford to buy?” Another good question to ask is, “Can I afford to continue renting?” No matter what you’re currently paying for rent, your total cash outlay over a period of several years will probably add up to a much higher total than you may have realized. With the money you are currently spending on rent, you could be building equity in your home. Keep in mind, too, that over the years your income most likely will increase faster than any increase in your mortgage payment. Rent payments, on the other hand, tend to increase – right along with your paycheck.

Mortgage Rates Currently, mortgage rates are at historically low levels ad increasingly popular alternate forms of financing may make your loan even more affordable. Your loan officer can provide information the types of financing plans available to you.

Homeowner Tax Advantages When you’re figuring out how much you can afford to commit to monthly mortgage payments, don’t forget the tax advantages of homeownership. Both property taxes and interest payments on a mortgage for an owner-occupied home are currently taxdeductible. In the early years of a typical mortgage, all but a small percentage of each monthly payment is used to pay off the interest on the loan. This means that as a homeowner, your annual taxable income could be substantially reduced by deducting the payments you make on property taxes and yearly mortgage interest. Ask your CPA (certified public accountant), attorney, or tax preparer how buying a home now would affect your tax situation. Home Value Appreciation.

Home Value Appreciation In addition to tax advantages, you can also benefit from any increase in the value of your home through appreciation and improvements you add for your own comfort and enjoyment.

You Can Make Homeownership a Reality Take a good look at your personal financial situation in comparison to housing price trends and mortgage plans available in your community. You will probably discover that you are closer to homeownership than you had realized. Buying a home is probably one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make. And when it’s your first home, it is especially important that you seek qualified assistance. Your local real estate professional or broker has the experience and expertise to help you find — and purchase — the home of your dreams

What to Expect When You Are Buying a Home Evaluate Your Needs We will discuss your specific needs in a hone and analyze your resources. We will establish a set of criteria about the type of home, location, and features that are most important to you.

Loan Consultation I will provide you with guidance in finding a financial institution, and support you in obtaining information on available financing options. A licensed loan consultant can help you determine a realistic range of affordability and can provide you with a letter of pre-approval. It is important for me to be in contact with hour chosen lender to confirm offer timelines, wording for the pre-approval letter when need, and financial capability.

Cash Purchase If not obtaining a loan, be prepared to supply a proof of funds letter from a Bank or CPA that states you can â&#x20AC;&#x153;make the purchase of XYZ property for $X,XXX,XXX without obtaining financingâ&#x20AC;?, it will need to be on their letterhead or in an email that can be printed.

Market Education, View Properties & Select a Property We will work together to find available properties based on the criteria that you deem important. I will provide open house opportunities and arrange private showings when needed. As we view different homes we will reassess your criteria. The more precise and direct you are with me, the more successful our search will be. There are multiple reliable resources that we can use to find suitable properties including but not limited to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), Top Agent Network (TAN), Redfin, and Realtor.com.

Selecting Your Lender A very important part of purchasing a home is finding the right lender. Listed below are characteristics you should look for and ways to choose a lender.

Getting Prequalified • With prequalification, you can determine which loan program best fits your needs • You will know exactly how much you are qualified for • You can estimate your monthly payment. This will allow you to outline your budget before making this important investment • It allows you to see what the down payment and closing costs will be • Communicating with your lender to preview your financial options prior to shopping for your new home affords you the opportunity to consider what you really want and need before the emotions of purchasing your home engage

Questions to Consider When Selecting Your Lender • What is his or her reputation within the community? Does he or she have references? • Is the company well known in the area? How long has the company been in business? • Is the lender a mortgage broker? Does the lender have access to a wide variety of loan programs? • Can the interest rates be locked in and for how long? Is there a charge? If so, what is it? • Does the lender understand the unique characteristics of this areas real estate market?

Important Information to Know When Looking for Your Lender • Rates quoted over the phone are rarely locked prices • The interest rate you are quoted over the phone by a lender who knows nothing about you may not be a program that will fit your needs or qualifications • Rates can be subject to change unless they are predetermined for a specific period of time • Interest rates can change daily; a quote you get today may not be available at the same price tomorrow • Do not agree to loan terms that you do not understand; a qualified loan representative will explain rates and terms to your satisfaction * Talk to Jane about her preferred lenders

Components of a Mortgage Payment Your monthly mortgage payment is made up of several components. This housing expense is commonly referred to as “PITI” or principal, interest, taxes, and insurance. PMI (see below) and Homeowner’s Association dues may also make up a portion of your total payment.

Principal The original balance of money loaned, excluding interest – also, the remaining balance of a loan, excluding interest. The interest is calculated on the principal.

Interest The charge for the use (loan) of money.

Taxes The county assessor charges property tax based on the value of your home. Two tax installments are due each year. The first installment is due November 1 and is delinquent on December 10. The second installment is due February 1 and is delinquent on April 10. Taxes may be impounded, depending on the amount of your down payment. Anything less than 20% requires an impound account. An impound account is a trust account set up by the lender to which a portion of the monthly payment is credited so that funds will be available for the payment of taxes and insurance.

Hazard Insurance This contract pays for loss of a home from certain hazards, including fire. You obtain homeowner’s insurance from your own insurance agent. The standard policy pays replacement costs, minus depreciation based on actual cash value. Talk to your insurance agent about the different types of insurance available. Hazard insurance may be impounded. Obtaining home insurance can present a large obstacle in today’s market. It is important to start looking for insurance immediately upon acceptance of your offer.

Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) Depending on the amount of your down payment, you may be required to have PMI. A down payment of less than 20% requires PMI. Because loans with small down payments involve substantially more risk for the lender, they need protection in case the loan goes into foreclosure. Because this insurance is available, lenders can offer loans with lower down payments. PMI may require an up-front fee which is payable as part of your closing costs and it is also required to be paid monthly with your payment. Federal Housing Administration (FHA) also charges a fee for mortgage insurance called MIP or Mortgage Insurance Premium. An upfront fee (which may be financed) and amonthly fee are assessed. VA charges a funding fee, which may also be financed.

Making an Offer: When You Have Found “Your Home” When you have found a property that you would like to pursue, there are a few necessary and important steps prior to submitting an offer.

Review Disclosures Most properties have pre-offer disclosure packages. These packages include pertinent information about the property, and required city and state disclosures and ordinances. We will review together and determine the need, if any, for additional due diligence or inspections.

Contact Your Lender or Banker You will need to contact your lender to confirm that they have all of the updated information they require to provide a pre-approval letter. I will work with your lender on the specific wording needed for the pre-approval letter.

Compare Market Data We will review comparable properties and discuss offer strategies so you can present the most competitive offer within your personal capabilities.

Structure an Effective Offer Once you have found the home that you wish to purchase, we will discuss the variety of ways you can structure an effective and competitive offer. We will write the purchase agreement and I will advise you on protective contingencies, customary practices, and local regulations.

The Offer A few important things to know about your offer. Typically an offer contains the following information: • Cover letter with terms, short biography on buyer and family photo, if recommended • Agency Disclosure • Contract for the Sale and Purchase of Real Property • Pre-approval letter from the lender or Proof of Funds Letter • Executed disclosure package cover • Personal letter (handwritten preferable) from you to the seller, if recommended

Important Offer Terms

• Offer price • A 3% deposit will be required to be deposited with the title company within three business days of ratification so be sure liquid funds will be available • Financing amount and terms of the researched loan • Contingencies • Close of escrow date

Contingencies A contingency is what allows you to cancel a contract without losing your deposit. Each contingency has a number of calendar days associated with it and all contingencies must be removed in writing. Typical contingencies include: • Financing • Appraisal • Property Inspection • Structural Pest Inspection • Condo/Co-op Information (if pertinent) • Income Property Information (if pertinent) • Approval of seller’s Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS) & Supplement to TDS • Approval of the Preliminary Title Report • Report of Residential Building Records

Present Your Offer I will present your offer to the seller and/or the seller’s agent. The seller has three options – to accept, reject, or counter your offer back. My personal knowledge of our needs and qualifications will enable me to represent your offer n the best light.

Respond to the Seller I will review the seller’s response with you. If the seller has countered your offer, you will have the option to accept, reject, or counter. My negotiating skills will benefit you in reaching a satisfactory agreement.

Open Escrow When the purchase agreement is accepted and signed by all parties, I will open escrow for you and you will be required to wire your deposit to the title company. The title company is a neutral third party that will receive, hold, and distribute all funds associated with your transaction.

Contingencies If your accepted offer has contingencies, it will be considered Active Contingent. Prior to closing, all of the contingencies of the Purchase Agreement must be met and the contingencies then removed in writing. I will coordinate the removal of these contingencies and review all documents with you. Once all contingencies are removed, the sale will be considered Pending. At this point your deposit becomes non-refundable.

Estimate of Closing Costs The week before closing the title company will generate an estimate of closing costs, which we will review for accuracy. This estimate will display the amount of your cash balance needed to close escrow. The estimate will include additional costs beyond the purchase price. Some of the costs included (but not limited to) the following: • Homeowners insurance • Property tax pro-rated to the date of the close of escrow • ALTA Insurance (American Land Title Association) • CLTA Insurance (California Land Title Association) • Escrow fees • Loan origination fees • Appraisal fee • Notary fee • Recording fee

Closing Escrow When all of the conditions of the purchase agreement have been met, you will sign your loan documents and closing papers with the Title Officer. You will deposit the balance of your down payment and closing costs into escrow a few days prior to closing. Your lender will deposit the loan amount into escrow after your funds have been received, usually the business day before closing. The deed will then be record at the County Recorder’s office and you will take ownership of your new home.

The Loan Process A General Guide As your real estate agent, I will help you select a mortgage lender. Once you have made your decision, these are the steps of the process:

Application Process Your mortgage lender or broker will ask you to complete a mortgage application and provide copies of your income and asset verification. Various fees and the down payment will be discussed at this time and you will receive an estimate for housing expenses and closing costs.

Mortgage Preapproval Your mortgage lender will review your income, assets, and credit history to determine if you qualify.

Escrow Process Once your offer to purchase a home is accepted, the escrow process begins. The mortgage lender orders the appraisal, preliminary title report, and other supporting documentation. As it comes in, the documentation is checked for any irregularities, and any additional items needed are requested.

Loan Submission Once all the necessary documentation is in, the loan processor puts the loan package together, your loan agent prepares a cover letter, and your completed file is submitted to a lender or approval.

Loan Approval (Underwriting) Loan approval, or underwriting, generally takes anywhere from 24-72 hours, and it may take slightly longer if mortgage insurance is required. Mortgage insurance underwriting occurs when the borrower has less than 20% of the loan amount to put towards a down payment. All parties are notified of the approval and any loan conditions that must be received before the loan can close. You may remove your financing contingency after these conditions are met

Documents Are Drawn Within one to three days after loan approval, the lender prepares your loan documents (including the note and deed of trust), which are se t to the title or escrow company. The escrow officer will call you to set up an appointment when the papers are ready for your final signature. At that time, the escrow officer will tell you how much money you will need to bring in to close the escrow. We will review an estimate of closing costs before you meet with your lender so you are prepared.

Closing Once all parties have signed the loan documents, they are returned to the lender, and the package is reviewed. If all the forms have been properly executed, the lender sends the loan funds by wire transfer. This is the point at which you finish the loan process and actually buy the house.

Congratulations Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s celebrate!

Types of Loans Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Adjustable-rate mortgages have an interest rate that is adjusted at certain intervals based on a specific index during the life of the loan.

Balloon-Payment Loan A fixed-rate loan that is amortized over 30 years but becomes due and payable at the end of a certain term, may be extended, or may roll over into another type of loan.

Buy-Down Loan Buy-down loans are fixed-rate loans where the interest rate and the payment are reduced for a specific period of time by passing the interest up front to subsidize the lower payment.

Community Homebuyer’s Program A fixed-rate loan for first-time homebuyers with a low down payment (usually 3 to 5 percent), no cash, no cash reserve requirement, and easier qualifying ratios. Qualification is subject to borrower meeting income limits and attendance of a four-hour training course on homeownership.

Conventional Loan Conventional loans are sometimes more lenient with the appraisal and condition of the property. When you are buying a “fixer-upper” you may need to use a conventional loan.

FHA Loan FHA loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration under the Department of Housing and Urban Development. They offer a low down payment and are easier to qualify for than conventional loans.

Fixed-Rate Loan A fixed-rate loan has one interest rate that remains constant throughout the life of the loan.

Graduated Payment Mortgage A fixed-rate loan that has payments starting lower than a standard fixed-rate loan, which then increases by a predetermined amount each year for a set number of years.

Mortgage Credit Certificate A first-time homebuyer program is subject to purchase price and income limits in some areas. It is actually a special tax credit and assists the buyer in qualifying for many loan programs.

Non-qualifying Loan (Assumable) Non-qualifying loans are pre-existing loans that can be assumed by a buyer from the seller of a property without going through the qualifying process. The buyer pays the seller for their equity and then starts making payments.

VA Loan Guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. A veteran must have served 180 days of active service.

The Inspection Process Real estate contracts often contain contingency clauses that allow buyers to inspect the property physically (usually at their expense). This inspection provides a comprehensive review of the infrastructure of the property. Which inspections to order is usually a matter of observation and knowledge of what is critical to a particular region or area. Below is a list of the most common types of inspections.

Structural Pest Control This inspection uncovers an active infestation by wood-destroying organisms. Section I on the report deals with active infestation and includes items that need immediate attention. Lenders usually want the work performed prior to funding the loan. Section II on the report will be items that could cause infestation and, if not corrected, could cause damage.

Physical Property Inspection This inspection encompasses roof, plumbing, electrical, heating, and any other accessible area of the structure. A detailed report will be written with recommendations for repair or for further inspection by a specialist.

Other Potential Inspections (based on need):

• Fireplace & Chimney • Geological Inspections • Heating & Air Conditioning • Sewer Lateral • Structural Engineering • Smoke Detector & Water Heater Ordinance Compliance

What You Need to Know About Escrow What is Escrow? Escrow is the process by which the interests of all parties in a real estate transaction are protected, ensuring that all conditions of the sale have been met before property and money change hands. Escrow is an independent depository wherein all funds, instructions, and documents for the purchase of your home are held, including your down payment, your lender’s funds, documents for the new loan, hazard and title insurance, inspection reports, and the grant deed from the seller. At the close of escrow, the “escrow holder” delivers these items to the appropriate parties, disburses the funds, and handles the associated paperwork.

The Escrow Process Your escrow is created shortly after you execute the purchase agreement to sell your home. It cannot be successfully completed until all escrow instructions have been carried out and all parties have signed escrow documents. The length of escrow can range from a few days to several months, depending on the terms of the purchase agreement. On average, an escrow closes within 21-30 days.

Opening the Escrow Either your real estate professional or the other professional may open the escrow depending on the county. As soon as you execute the sales agreement, your professional will place the initial deposit into an escrow account. At the opening of escrow, you may be asked to provide identification information such as your birth date and Social Security number. This information remains confidential.

Coordinating With Your Lender Once you are in contract to purchase a property, we will notify your lender and I will forward the necessary contract documents. I will keep the title company and other professionals informed of your loan progress as necessary. When your loan is approved, the loam documents will be sent to your title officer, and he/she will prepare your escrow instructions and arrange for your signing. The loan(s) on the owner’s property will be paid off at the close of escrow.

Preliminary Title Report The title company searches the public records for pertinent information about the property. Who is the owner of record? What liens exist against the property? What easements affect the property? Are there any judgements that might have to be cleared before title can be transferred? Any such items must be resolved during the escrow period.

Title Insurance Title insurance policies are protection for the buyer and lender against forgeries, errors in public records and other specific items. A CLTA (California Land Title Association) title insurance policy is issued to protect the buyer and the ALTA (American Land Title Association) title insurance policy is issued to protect the lender.

Role & Responsibilities of the Title Officer The title officer is a neutral third party that maintains the escrow account and impartially oversees the escrow process, making sure all conditions of the sale are properly met. The title officer’s duties include but are not limited to:

• Serving as a neutral professional and the liaison between all parties involved

• Requesting:

◊ A Preliminary title search to determine the status of title to the property

◊ A beneficiary statement of debt or obligations that will be taken over by the buyer

◊ A payoff demand form beneficiaries when the seller is paying off debts

• Complying with the lender’s requirements as specified in their instructions to escrow

• Securing releases of all contingencies or other conditions imposed on the escrow

• Prorating taxes, interest, insurance, and rents

• Preparing escrow instructions

• Receiving:

◊ The purchase funds from the buyer

◊ The loan funds from buyer’s lender

• Closing the escrow pursuant to instructions supplied by the seller, buyer, and lender

• Recording the deed and any other documents

• Disbursing funds as authorized by the instruction, including:

◊ Charges for title insurance

◊ Recording fees

◊ Real estate commissions

◊ Loan Payoffs

• Preparing final statements for all parties involved that account for the disposition of all funds held in the escrow account

Closing Costs Listed below are some typical closing costs that you may incur as part of your transaction. When you apply for a loan, you will receive a “good-faith estimate” of closing costs and settlement charges, along with a booklet that will explain these costs.

Appraisal This is a one-time fee. The appraisal is made b an independent fee appraiser.

Credit Report Fee This is a one-time fee. The appraisal is made by an independent fee appraiser.

Document Preparation Fee There may be a separate fee that covers the preparation of the final legal documents.

Loan Discount A one-time fee used to adjust the yield on the loan to what market conditions demand. It is often called “points.”

Loan Origination Fee The lender’s administrative costs in processing the loan are covered by this fee.

PMI Premium You might be required to pay an upfront fee for mortgage insurance, depending on the amount of your down payment. Lenders may also require monies be placed into a reserve account held by them.

Prepaid Interest Depending on the time of month your loan closes, this per-diem charge may vary from a full month’s interest to that of a few days. If your loan closes at the end of the month, you may pay interest for only a day or so.

Taxes & Hazard Insurance You may be required to reimburse the seller for property taxes, prorated depending on the month in which you close. You will also need to pay a year’s hazard insurance premium up front. Also, you might be required to put a certain amount for taxes and insurance into a special reserve account held by the lender.

Title & Escrow Fees Generally, each party is responsible for cost or fees incurred on their behalf unless otherwise negotiated. Some common exceptions include title policy and escrow fees, city and county transfer fees, and real estate commissions. Please refer to your real estate professional for prevailing customs in the area.

Understanding the Preliminary Title Report The preliminary title report is an offer to issue a policy of title insurance covering a particular estate or interest in land subject to stated exceptions. Since these exceptions may point to potential problems with your intended purchase, it is important for all parties to review the report once it is received. A preliminary title report provides a list of the matters that will be shown as exceptions to coverage in a designated policy or policies of title insurance, if issued currently, covering a particular state or interest in land. It is designated to provide an interim, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;preliminary,â&#x20AC;? response to an application for title insurance and is intended to facilitate the issuance of the designated policy or policies. It is normally prepared after application (order) for such policy(ies) of title insurance on behalf of the principals to a real property transaction, for the purpose of facilitating requirements relative to closing and policy issuance in form and content approved by those parties. If a title policy is not contemplated, a preliminary title report should not be ordered. Instead, consideration should be given to requesting a condition of title report or other similar title product. The preliminary title report states on its face that it is made solely to facilitate the subsequent issuance of a title insurance policy and that the insurer assumes no liability for errors in the report. Accordingly, any claim arising from a defect in title must be made under the title policy and not the preliminary title report. After a title order has been placed, matters relative to the title policy coverage on the subject property are assembled in a title search package and examined by skilled technicians. This is when the preliminary title report is prepared and sent to the customer. The report contains relevant information so that the parties to the transaction will become aware of matters that will not be insured against by the title company. This report is issued before the title policy, hence the name.

Title Insurance & Why You Need It The deed to your new home is not enough to ensure clear title; it is merely an instrument whereby the seller transfers right of ownership to you. It doesn’t prove that the person described as the seller is actually the clear owner, and it does not eliminate claims or rights that others may have in the property. You cannot determine from the deed what rights, liens, or claims may be outstanding against your title. You should be protected against any undiscovered claims that may arise in the future to threaten your title. A title insurance policy provides this twofold protection in accordance with your instructions and within the parameters of the policy. Although your mortgage lender will most likely have a title insurance policy for your loan with them, it protects only the lender’s interest in the property, not your investment, and it decreases as the mortgage is paid off. You need an owner’s title insurance policy to protect your ownership for the full amount you paid for the property.

How It Works Title insurance conducts a thorough search and evaluation of the public records, looking for situations that may cloud the title to your new home, such as: • Are all taxes and special assessments paid? • Does anyone have special rights to the property that would limit your ownership? • Has the death of a former owner or the filing of a will affected title to the property? • Are there undisclosed heirs or spouses of the seller? • Are there any lawsuits or claims recorded against the property itself, or suits or judgments filed against the seller?

What About Hidden Risks? Claims that cannot be discovered by examination of the public records are called “hidden risks,” and they can arise long after you’ve purchased the property. These are a few of the most common hidden risks that can cause a loss of title or create an encumbrance on title: • False impersonation of the true owner of the property • Forged deeds, releases, or wills • Undisclosed or missing heirs • Instruments executed under invalid or expired power of attorney • Misinterpretations of wills • Deeds by persons of unsound mind • Deeds by minors • Deeds by persons supposedly single, but in fact married • Liens for unpaid taxes • Fraud

Insurance Premiums Unlike most forms of insurance, you would only pay for a title policy once, and this relatively modest charge insures your title for as long as you or your heirs own the property.

How Title is Taken Advantages & Limitations Title to real property in California may be held by individuals, either in sole ownership or in co-ownership. Coownership of real property occurs when title is held by two or more persons. There are several variations as to how title may be held in each type of ownership. The following brief summaries reference eight of the more common examples of sole ownership and co-ownership.

Sole Ownership 1. A Single Man/Woman A man or woman who is not legally married. Example: John Doe, single man. 2. An Unmarried Man/Woman A man or woman, who having been married is legally divorced. Example: John Doe, an unmarried man. 3. A Married Man/Woman, as His/Her Sole and Separate Property When a married man or woman wishes to acquire title in his or her name alone, the spouse must consent, by quitclaim deed or otherwise, to transfer the title, thereby relinquishing all right, title, and interest in the property. Example: John Doe, a married man, as his sole and separate property.

Co-Ownership 4. Community Property The California Civil Code defines community property as acquired by husband and wife, or by either. Real property conveyed to a married man or woman is presumed to be community property, unless otherwise stated. Under community property, both spouses have the right to dispose of one-half of the community property. If a spouse does not exercise his/her right to dispose of one-half to someone other than his/her spouse, then the one-half will go to the surviving spouse without administration. If a spouse exercises his/her right to dispose of one-half, that half is subject to administration in the state. Example: John Doe and Mary Doe, husband and wife, as community property. 5. Joint-Tenancy A joint-tenancy state is defined in the Civil Code as follows: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A joint interest is one owned by two or more persons in equal shares, by a title created by a single will or transfer, when expressly declared in the will or transfer to be a joint tenancy.â&#x20AC;? A chief characteristic of joint-tenancy property is the right of survivorship. When a joint tenant dies, title to the property immediately vests in the surviving joint tenant(s). As a consequence, joint-tenancy property is not subject to disposition by will. Example: John Doe and Mary Doe, husband and wife, as joint tenants.

How Title is Taken (continued) 6. Tenancy in Common Under tenancy in common, the co-owners own undivided interests. But unlike in joint tenancy, these interests need not be equal in quantity or duration and may arise at different times. There is no right of survivorship; each tenant owns an interest which, on his or her death, vests in his or her heirs or devisees. Example: John Doe, a single man, as to an undivided three-quarters interest, and George Smith, a single man, as to an undivided one-quarter interest, as tenants in common. 7. Trust Title to real property in California may be held in a title holding trust. The trust holds legal and equitable title to the real estate. The trustee holds title for the trustor/beneficiary who retains all of the management rights and responsibilities. 8. Community Property with Right of Survivorship Community property of a husband and wife, when expressly declared in the transfer document to be community property with the right of survivorship, and which may be accepted in writing on the face of the document by a statement signed or initialed by the grantees, shall upon the death of one of the spouses, pass to the survivor, without administration, subject to the same procedures as property held in joint tenancy.

*The preceding summaries are a few of the more common ways to take title to real property in California and are provided for informational purposes only. For a more comprehensive understanding of the legal and tax consequences, appropriate consultation is recommended. There are significant tax and legal consequences on how you hold title. We strongly suggest contacting an attorney and/or CPA for specific advice on how you should actually vest your title.

How Property Taxes Are Determined Property taxes are governed by California state law and collected by the county. The county assessor must first assess the value of your property to determine the amount of property tax. Generally, the assessed value is the cash or market value at the time of purchase. This value increases not more than 2 percent per year until the property is sold or new construction is completed. The auditor-controller applies the appropriate tax rates, which include the general tax levy, locally voted special taxes, and any city or district direct assessments. The tax collector prepares property tax bills based on the auditor controllerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calculations, distributes the bills, and collects the taxes.

Can You Disagree with the Amount? You may apply to the county assessor to see if the office will change the valuation on your home. Additionally, appeals boards have been established for the purpose of resolving valuation problems. Appeals on regular assessments may be filed between July 2 and September 15. Appeals on corrected assessments, escaped assessments (assessments that did not take place when they should have), or supplemental assessments must be filed no later than 60 days from the mailing date of the corrected, escaped, or supplemental tax bill.

File an Appeal but Remember to Pay the Tax If you choose to appeal, still pay your tax installments in full by the appropriate deadlines or you may incur penalties. If your appeal is granted, a refund will be issued to you.

Did you Recently Purchase Property Although escrow prorates taxes and gives appropriate credit between buyer and seller, the actual taxes may not have been paid, and you are responsible for any unpaid taxes at the close of escrow. Read your escrow papers and/or title report to determine if any portion of the annual taxes were paid by the previous owner before the close of escrow. The tax collector will not send a bill for the remainder of the year in which you acquired the property unless requested. If any taxes remain unpaid, call the tax collector and request a bill. When you call, give the assessorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identification number. For more detailed information go to: www.acgov.org/propertytax/

Understanding Supplemental Property Taxes Supplemental Real Property Tax Law Enactment On July 1, 1983, California state law was changed to require the reassessment of property following a change of ownership or the completion of new construction.

How Supplemental Taxes Affect Homeowners Supplemental property taxes affect only individuals who are buying property or initiating new construction. After the purchase(s) or new construction is complete, the new owner will receive a bill for supplemental property taxes, which will become a lien against the property as of the date of ownership changes or upon the date of completion.

When & How the Bills Are Generated Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy to predict when the new property owner will be billed. It may be as soon as three weeks after escrow closes or the new construction is complete. It also might take six months or more, depending on what county the property is located in and the workloads of the county assessor, county controller/auditor, and the county tax collector. The assessor will appraise the property and advise the owner of the supplemental assessment amount. The property owner will then have the opportunity to discuss the valuation, apply for a homeownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exemption, and be informed of their right to file an assessment appeal. The assessor then calculates the amount of the supplemental tax bill to the property owner. The bill will identify the amount of the supplemental tax and the date the taxes will become due and delinquent.

How the Amount of the Bill Determined A formula is used to determine the tax bill. The total supplemental assessment will be prorated based on the number of months remaining until June 30, the end of the tax year. The proration factor works like this: The supplemental tax becomes effective on the first day of the month following the month in which the change of ownership or completion of new construction actually occurred. If the effective date is July 1, then there will be no supplemental assessment of the current tax roll and the entire supplemental assessment will be made to the tax roll being prepared. If the effective date is not July 1, the factors represent assessment on the current tax roll. Example: The county auditor finds that the supplemental property taxes would be $1,000 for a full year. The change of ownership took place on September 15 with the effective date October 1. The supplemental property taxes would be subject to a proration factor of .75 and the supplemental tax would be $750.

Understanding Supplemental Property Taxes (continued) Supplemental Tax Bill May Be Paid in Installments All supplemental taxes are payable in two equal installments. The taxes are due on the date the bill is mailed and are delinquent on specified dates depending on the month the bill is mailed as follows: 1. If the bill is mailed within the months of July through October, the first installment will become delinquent on December 10 of the same year. The second installment will become delinquent on April 10 of the next year. 2. If the bill is mailed within the months of November through June, the first installment will become delinquent on the last day of the month following the month in which the bill is mailed. The second installment shall become delinquent on the last day of the fourth quarter calendar month following the date the first installment is delinquent.

Supplemental Property Taxes Prorated in Escrow Not usually. Unlike ordinary annual taxes, the supplemental tax is a one-time tax due for the period from the date of new ownership or completion of the new construction until the end of the tax year on June 30. The obligation for this is entirely that of the property owner.

The Case of Mello-Roos Mello-Roos refers to â&#x20AC;&#x153;specialâ&#x20AC;? tax districts. Sen. Henry J. Mello and former Assemblyman Michael Roos won passage of Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act in 1982. This legislation authorized Mello-Roos Community Facilities Districts as a way to assist cities, counties, and school districts to provide new infrastructure and facilities after governmental funds were cut by the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978. Before Proposition 13, state and local governments used income collected through property taxes to build new roads, schools, and other necessary community facilities. In order to continue building residential areas, these same governments were forced to require builders of new communities to pay for these public facilities. Consequently, these funds were added to the cost of homes. These price increases hurt new homebuyers, as fewer people were able to afford higher-priced homes. Those who could had to wait for the public facilities to be built. Under Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act, landowners put up their land as collateral so that public agencies, like school districts, could raise money to pay for vital basic facilities. The public agency forms a Mello-Roos Community District that sells bonds to fund the construction of these new public facilities. A bond allows for payment over a specific amount of time through special taxes levied on property owners in that particular district. Mello-Roos taxes are paid to the county tax collector as part of the normal property tax system. Not all new home communities are affected by Mello-Roos special taxes. For example, sometimes a new neighborhood is built within existing communities. Because public facilities are already in place, they are not subject to Mello-Roos taxes.

Tax-Deductible Moving Expenses When you meet the Internal Revenue Service’s definition of a qualifying move, the following items are considered tax deductible: • The cost of trips to look for a home in the area of a new job. Your home shopping expedition does not have to be successful for the cost to be deductible • The cost of having your furniture and other household items shipped, including the cost of packaging, insurance, and storage for up to 30 days • The cost of getting your family to the new hometown, including food and lodging expenses on the trip • The cost of lodging and 80 percent of food expenses for up to 30 days in the new hometown, if these temporary living expenses are necessary due to the fact that you have not yet found your ideal home or it is not ready when you arrive •

Certain costs associated with the sale of your former home and purchase of the new one. These expenses, including real estate commissions, legal fees, city and/or county transfer taxes, and appraisal and title fees, could be used either to reduce the gain on the sale of the previous home or to boost the basis of the new one. However, it’s usually beneficial to count them as moving expenses up to the allowable dollar limits, which gives you an immediate tax benefit

Your tax specialist can answer any further questions and offer more detail.

Business Policies The purchase and sale of a home is likely one of the most significant financial and emotional decisions of your life. We need to make sure that we have the best possible communication to ensure the best possible results. Below are my policies to help make that happen. • Before we start to work together, we need all parties who will be/are on the title to sit down together. •

All of my buyers and sellers sign a six month representation agreement. This agreement authorizes me to represent you and negotiate on your behalf. If either of us decides at any time that the relationship is failing to produce the desired results, we will discuss and try and fix it. If necessary, either party may terminate the agreement after verbal and written notification.

• Once we agree to work together, we will set – up a scheduled weekly face to face meeting. • Communication should whenever possible, be in person, face time/skype or 3-way call. Eyeball to eyeball is always best. • I return phone calls several times throughout the day. If it is an emergency and you need to hear from immediately, please let me know. You can always try and reach my assistant as well. • Emails/Texts should be used only for coordination of appointments or minor details and again everyone should be included. • Everyone who is on title should be included or copied in the communications. • Everything we discuss will be deemed confidential before, during and after your close escrow (see confidentiality agreement). • I represent only 1 party in a transaction – YOU!

BENEFITS OF USING THE MLS; IMPACT OF OPTING OUT OF THE MLS; PRESENTING ALL OFFERS

WHAT IS AN MLS? The MLS is a database of properties for sale that is available and disseminated to and accessible by all other real estate agents who are participants or subscribers to the MLS. Property information submitted to the MLS describes the price, terms and conditions under which the Seller's property is offered for sale (including but not limited to the listing broker's offer of compensation to other brokers). It is likely that a significant number of real estate practitioners in any given area are participants or subscribers to the MLS. The MLS may also be part of a reciprocal agreement to which other multiple listing services belong. Real estate agents belonging to other multiple listing services that have reciprocal agreements with the MLS also have access to the information submitted to the MLS. The MLS may further transmit listing information to Internet sites that post property listings online.

EXPOSURE TO BUYERS THROUGH MLS: Listing property with an MLS exposes a seller's property to all real estate agents and brokers (and their potential buyer clients) who are participants or subscribers to the MLS or a reciprocating MLS. CLOSED/PRIVATE LISTING CLUBS OR GROUPS: Closed or private listing clubs or groups are not the same as the MLS. The MLS referred to above is accessible to all eligible real estate licensees and provides broad exposure for a listed property. Private or closed listing clubs or groups of licensees may have been formed outside the MLS. Private or closed listing clubs or groups are accessible to a more limited number of licensees and generally offer less exposure for listed property. Whether listing property through a closed, private network - and excluding it from the MLS - is advantageous or disadvantageous to a seller, and why, should be discussed with the agent taking the Seller's listing.

NOT LISTING PROPERTY IN A LOCAL MLS: If the Property is listed in an MLS which does not cover the geographic area where the Property is located then real estate agents and brokers working that territory, and Buyers they represent looking for property in the neighborhood, may not be aware the Property is for sale.

OPTING OUT OF MLS: If Seller elects to exclude the Property from the MLS, Seller understands and acknowledges that: (a) real estate agents and brokers from other real estate offices, and their buyer clients, who have access to that MLS may not be aware that Seller's Property is offered for sale; (b) Information about Seller's Property will not be transmitted from the MLS to various real estate Internet sites that are used by the public to search for property listings; (c) real estate agents, brokers and members of the public may be unaware of the terms and conditions under which Seller is marketing the Property.

REDUCTION IN EXPOSURE: Any reduction in exposure of the Property may lower the number of offers and negatively impact the sales price.

PRESENTING ALL OFFERS: Seller understands that Broker must present all offers received for Seller's Property unless Seller gives Broker written instructions to the contrary. Seller's Initials ( ____ ){ ____

Broker's/agent's Initials ( ____ ){ ____

B. MLS rules generally provide that residential real property and vacant lot listings be submitted to the MLS within 2 days or some other period of time after all necessary signatures have been obtained on the listing agreement. Broker will not have to submit this listing to the MLS if, within that time, Broker submits to the MLS an appropriate form signed by Seller.

Form DCE). The DCE shall: (i) be signed by the applicable Buyer or Seller; and (ii) give the other Party at least 3 (or __ ) Days After Delivery to close escrow.A DCE may not be Delivered any earlier than 3 Days Prior to the scheduled close of escrow. H. EFFECT OF CANCELLATION ON DEPOSITS: If Buyer or Seller gives written notice of cancellation pursuant to rights duly exercised under the terms of this Agreement, the Parties agree to Sign mutual instructions to cancel the sale and escrow and release deposits, if any, to the party entitled to the funds, less fees and costs incurred by that party. Fees and costs may be payable to service providers and vendors for services and products provided during escrow. Except as specified below, release of funds will require mutual Signed release instructions from the Parties, judicial decision or arbitration award. If either Party fails to execute mutual instructions to cancel escrow, one Party may make a written demand to Escrow Holder for the deposit. (C.A.R. Form BORD or SDRD). Escrow Holder, upon receipt, shall promptly deliver notice of the demand to the other Party. If, within 10 Days After Escrow Holder's notice, the other Party does not object to the demand, Escrow Holder shall disburse the deposit to the Party making the demand. If Escrow Holder complies with the preceding process, each Party shall be deemed to have released Escrow Holder from any and all claims or liability related to the disbursal of the deposit. Escrow Holder, at its discretion, may nonetheless require mutual cancellation instructions. A Party may be subject to a civil penalty of up to $1,000 for refusal to sign cancellation instructions if no good faith dispute exists as to who is entitled to the deposited funds (Civil Code Â§1057.3).
