These must be reviewed and completed.  Then the compensation instructions must be sent to the buyer’s agent designated broker for her or his signature. NOTE: The time varies as Title must balance with all monies received including confirmation from the lender the final dollars for the loan.Also at this time, the buyer’s agent will contact the Title company to confirm all is good to go. Sometimes, if there is a loan involved, there may be a delay due to the lender’s process (final review by underwriting). Then this requires communication with the lender.In AZ, if the Listing Agent has not sent the septic inspection report, ...

Who do you get advice from about LIFE? Sure your parents,  maybe a trusted friend, a teacher, relative, pastor, or from a podcast or maybe all. Sometimes though it takes an older person than can reflect through their life's positive and negative steps to give you the complete picture. Hey they were young and in their 20's once as well. In case none of those people have given you the best "sage" advice, you have the privilege here. (Photo: Avi Chomotovski PIxabay)The best practical financial advice is to start young and BUY A HOME! Build wealth through appreciation, build equity by paying down on your mortgage and not to a landlord, realize tax advantages AND you get to live in your investment. Now that is great advice! When you are ready to put this WISDOM in action and to buy a home, g...
