This week, on Inside the Skev, we sit down Jennifer LaMell Goldstone from Horwitch, Goldstone & Shaw, Deanne Cooper from Fidelity National Title Insurance and Beth Lewis from CrossCountry Mortgage. We speak about the work of attorneys, title companies and lenders, how these industries support real estate investments here locally in Chicago and the United States. We also discuss the current state of the real estate market in February 2023. This episode was also released on my global podcast, The Real Estate Diplomat.According to Beth Lewis, she issued the following update regarding the mortgage market:Mortgage rates jumped to their highest levels in a month this week because of last Friday's Jobs report. Due to most of the focus being on inflation and the possible Fed rate increase, it was easy to overlook employment which is the other marker the Fed uses to gauge the strength of the economy. The most recent jobs report showed that there were more than 500k new jobs created. Pandemic years aside, this quarter typically sees a reduction in job creations and increased unemployment due to seasonal holiday jobs ending. The expectation was for 185K new jobs so 517K really blew predictions out of the water. Right now any positive economic news is bad for rates, and while the volatility is stressful we have to remember the opportunity it gives us to be advisors to our clients.For clients concerned with the raising Fed Funds rate, remind them that this does not impact mortgage loans. The Fed rate is separate, it is the rate that banks charge other for overnight loans controlled by the Fed Reserve. Typically changes to the Fed Funds rates are reflected in advance of the actual changes and there were no changes to mortgage rates due to last week's increase. One indicator that the economy is slowing is the unemployment report from this week. It increased new filings by 13k over December's figures. It goes without saying that I would never want anyone to lose their job, but this is the second metric we should be paying attention to in order to see if we are heading towards a recession. A recession would bring lower rates. My opinion is that rates will hover right around where they have been for the last month until the Q1 earnings are released, and we have more data to really understand where the economy stands.My advice to clients right now is to concentrate on the big picture. “Why do you need to buy or sell a home today and how do we get you a payment that fits your budget?” It's impossible to time the market and we can only use the facts and tools that we have today, which are temporary buydowns and knowledge that there are many loan level price adjustments coming in April that will make home loans more expensive. We also know that rates will drop if we are in a recession and the Fed starts buying mortgage-backed securities. None of us can know when that is or what the bottom will be, but my team is here if a refi opportunity presents itself.To learn more about the guests, go to the following websites:Jennifer LaMell Goldstone: https://www.hgslegal.com/Deanne Cooper: https://www.fntic.com/ or Deanne.Cooper@fnf.com Beth Lewis: https://crosscountrymortgage.com/Beth-Lewis-Team/Beth-Lewis/Inside the Skev is a one stop shop for all things Skokie and Evanston hosted by Aaron Masliansky.

Before moving to St. Petersburg and working in http://premiersothebysrealty.com/ (Premier Sotheby's International Realty), https://www.linkedin.com/in/brittanyranewrealtor/ (Brittany Ranew) lived in Mobile, Alabama. And, life there was slower so Brittany really had to re-adjust to everything. She later found that the best way to do that is to be a part of the community. To build strong relationships first and business transactions will come. When you give freely in life, you will get in return. Join Bill Risser as he talks to Brittany about her real estate journey. Discover her love for jazz and soul and how that translated into her own podcast, https://open.spotify.com/show/3vDoZfu1FqETNaFj2VGxnW (St. Pete Soul). Learn how she learned real estate by finding mentorship in others. Find out why you need to start building those relationships right now! --- Brittany Ranew, Premier Sotheby's International Realty I get to talk to somebody I've known for a long time here in St. Pete since I moved here in 2017. I met Brittany Ranew. She's with https://www.premiersothebysrealty.com/ (Premier Sotheby's International Realty). She was a realtor who came to some of the sessions I was doing for Fidelity National Title. She was doing some cool stuff. She launched her own podcast, and we're going to talk about that. She's a classically trained singer, which makes me insanely jealous, and all cool stuff. Let's get this thing going. Brittany, welcome to the show. Bill, thanks so much for having me. I'm so excited to be here. It's great seeing you and talking to you. We've known each other for as long as I've been in St. Petersburg when I moved here with Fidelity National Title. You might have been one of the first realtors I met pretty early on in the game because you were in St. Pete, and I was working out of the St. Pete office. We always talked. You had some great ideas. I know you're a dog lover. I know that we're going to talk about your podcast. I know you love music. We're going to have some fun with this conversation. Like me, you're not a native Floridian. Many of the people we talk to here in St. Pete are not. Although a lot of people are, it's shocking how many people are natives that live in this town, which makes sense. What was home for you? Where did you grow up? I'm from Mobile, Alabama. Whenever I tell people that, they're like, "You don't have an accent." I'm like, "It's there. There are certain words. From talking to my family, it will come out." I know Mobile's on the Gulf Coast. I know Interstate 10 runs right through it because when we were relocating to St. Pete, we stayed the night in Mobile. A tornado had hit a few miles South of the hotel. Everything was flooded. It was raining, and all kinds of stuff were happening. Tell me. That's not much to know about Mobile that I stayed there, and it's on the Gulf Coast. Tell me a little bit about where you grew up. You're talking about the weather, which is a thing. Mobile is one of the rainiest cities in the country. That was the cool thing about moving to St. Pete being the Sunshine City because it's sunny all the time. In Mobile, it rains all the time. It's funny. It's on the Gulf Coast, and you're still living on the Gulf Coast, but it's quite a difference. Something about the Gulf into Mobile Bay and weather patterns sweeps across the panhandle from New Orleans all the way across to the panhandle. There are lots of stormy weather. It's hot and humid. I was used to the heat from growing up there. I like to describe it as a small version of New Orleans. It's got the same history with the French and Spanish colonization and all that. You've got some of those influences with food like the Cajun, Creole, all of that. New Orleans is a bigger city, and they took it all to a different level, but we have some of those same vibes on a smaller scale. A fun fact that most people don't know is that Mobile is the birthplace of Mardi...

What is Title Insurance? Do I Need it? In this episode, I interview David Glanzrock, a VP at Fidelity National Title and we discuss what title insurance is, what it covers, and even though it’s boring, why you need to have it to protect yourself as a buyer or seller during a real estate transaction in California. One of the best quotes from David that I think sums up title insurance pretty well is, “If title is done properly, you don’t know they’ve done anything at all.” Although title might not be sexy, this video will give you a better understanding of why you need title protection and what you can do during a transaction to make sure any issues with title are cleared up ASAP so you don’t have any delays in closing escrow. If you have additional questions about title, head over to the Title is Boring youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/c/TitleInsurance/ or contact David directly at DavidG@fnf.com. Enjoy!

Today we have Christine Lin from Fidelity National Title to shed some light on what title companies do during the real estate transactions in Texas and also what to look for in Schedule A through D of the Title commitment documents, and most importantly what are some of the state regulated fees vs. other negotiable fees. She also offered some tips on how to save money on title insurance costs on future transactions as well some examples of difficult title situations that she came across during her many years of experience. We didn’t get a chance to cover the COVID related updates on this call. But Christine and her team at Fidelity has dramatically improved the closing process for buyers and sellers to work remotely during the transactions. To find out more about the remote notary options as well as any other title related questions, please contact Christine at 713-779-7779 or email her at closing@fidelity88.com .

KERI: Hey guys, it’s Keri TV. Today we have a special episode. As you know, vendors are a huge part of our transaction and our business, and we would not be able to get our clients across the finish line unless we had the very best vendors and people to help us along the way. Everybody has a different specialty. Today I’m highlighting the two title representatives who work our area, who we work closely with. I want to explain a little bit what title is. What is title? How is that involved? Why do they have a living working with title? Stay tuned. [music] KERI: Alright. Today we are here with two representatives from Fidelity National Title. BRANDON: I’m Brandon Miller. TAMARA: I’m Tamara Ortiz. KERI: Tamara and Brandon, thanks for being here today. BRANDON: Sure, thanks for having us. KERI: Tamara and Brandon are our 911 emergency people. During a transaction, I feel like we’re only bugging them when there’s something crazy happening. What is title? Why is it important? What does it have to do with buying and selling real estate? BRANDON: That’s a good question. We do spend a lot of time on the side of the road when we get that call, because first and foremost, our important role is so Keri can pick up the phone and, all title companies, Fidelity is a huge company, but she just needs that one or two people to call and have us do all the problem solving if something happens with a transaction. Title insurance. You cannot close a transaction in California unless the title company has the final say. They stamp the transaction and insure it with title insurance, and charge a fee to the seller. There’s another fee we can talk about that goes to the buyer. It’s basically us blessing the transaction and following through with our insurance if there’s any problems after the fact. Your seller, the new buyer, will never have to worry about going into their own pocket if they have to protect the ownership of their property. KERI: Okay. Basically, title is a stamp of insurance that you are now the owner and no one else can come in and take it from you. There’s no other fees that you’re going to be slapped with. BRANDON: Exactly. TAMARA: Exactly. KERI: Who likes hidden fees, right? TAMARA: No. BRANDON: There’s definitely fees and there’s stuff you’re going to get in the mail. At the end of the day, it’s the title company that’s guaranteeing whatever you’re going to receive, don’t worry about it. We’re insuring this transaction as long as you live there. It could be ten years down the road. KERI: Mh-hmm. BRANDON: If someone’s coming after you, we have a big team of attorneys. We’ll get in court with you and make sure you’re not going to have to pay anything out. KERI: That’s awesome. What are some of the types of things that the insurance protects you from? What people can come and try to impact your title or put liens on title. BRANDON: Right. Well, when we say that Keri is the owner of this property, we’re also saying that no one, if they decide to fudge the title – that means, if they decide to add themselves on. Try to make it so you’re not the only owner, but now there’s a new owner with you, or maybe they’ve recorded a deed on the property putting themselves on, and somehow you’re mysteriously pushed to the side. That does happen in Los Angeles. KERI: It can happen. BRANDON: We’re going to be there to guarantee that, no, Keri’s the owner. Whatever the person is trying to make your life not so easy by doing this, we’re going to basically step up and make sure it’s taken care of. KERI: Insurance-wise, if somebody tries to attach themselves to title or file a mechanic’s lien, say if there was work that was not done, this could be the previous person who owned the house that somebody’s coming after them. The insurance from the title company ensures that nobody is able to do that to your property. BRANDON: Right. KERI: It’s kind of important, right? BRANDON: Super important. TAMARA: Super important. BRANDON: In Los Angeles, we have a lot of new development. It’s putting a lot of people to work. A lot of contractors, a lot architects, and a lot of project managers. Money is just being shelled out left and right. KERI: True. Yeah. A lot of people are involved on these LLCs. BRANDON: Exactly. At the end of the day, real estate is collateral. It’s a hard asset where all these different works can use to try to collect money that they feel is owed to them. Whether it’s rightfully owed to them or not is a different question. KERI: Yes. BRANDON: That’s what they look at it as. KERI: The fortunate and unfortunate thing is that it’s very easy to file a lien on somebody’s property for anything. For babysitting dues. BRANDON: It’s pretty scary. KERI: It’s scary, yeah. BRANDON: It’s almost a flawed system with the county. They’re very understaffed. Anyone can walk in and just, here’s a document. Please record it. They’ll pay a fee and walk out the door. TAMARA: We’ve actually been seeing that a lot in the past two years, where we’ll have a transaction and look at it, and all of a sudden, it shows somebody else on title. KERI: Now that we’re sitting here, I remember a property we had in Santa Monica where it came through and the husband – there were all these extra liens and fees. I added them up and I’m like, oh my god. You guys owe a lot on this property. It turns out it was a different, let’s say it was Smith. It was a different Mr. Smith. What happens when you find your title and you owe money to somebody, that’s not yours? That’s why we need Brandon and Tamara here. BRANDON: Yes, absolutely. Believe it or not, Brandon Miller, it may seem like an uncommon name, but there’s forty-four Brandon Millers in LA county. KERI: In LA. BRANDON: I found that out because, when I did my own transaction, all title companies have to have the owner fill out this statement of information, with your social security and all the personal info, so that they can make sure that I’m the Brandon Miller in charge of buying this house, and not the other forty-three Brandon Millers. Any liens or issues they may have tied to them are not going to be tied to me as well. KERI: That’s a huge deal. I remember on that one, you were able to contact who you needed to. We didn’t even have to do anything. You guys took care of it and gave us a clean title back. That seller was very thankful for your help on that. BRANDON: We want you to just focus on the relationship with the seller. When the problem arises, we take care of it. We communicate with you and you communicate back with the seller. KERI: Exactly. That’s why, during these transactions, when your clients call and say x y z, we’re like, we’re working on it. BRANDON: Right. KERI: We’re calling our vendors, calling escrow, calling title, doing research, and all the things behind the scene, to make sure that all you get is yup, we’re done. We’re good. BRANDON: Very true. TAMARA: Actually, at the end of the transaction, the goal for all title companies, especially our title company, is to make sure that you have a clear title. KERI: Clear title. TAMARA: Clear title is the most important thing. Title companies will not, you’re not supposed to, close without having a clear title, so that the buyer is inheriting that property free and clear. KERI: That’s a good point. What if the property is being financed cash. Do they still check to make sure that title’s clear? BRANDON: Yes. KERI: Who does that? BRANDON: Okay, good question. In Los Angeles, about thirty percent of transactions are cash transaction. KERI: Thirty percent of transactions are cash. The average price is around a million. That’s a lot of money. BRANDON: That’s a lot of money. That’s what makes Los Angeles so great. Regardless of what’s happening in the rest of the country, LA is very financially strong. Even with cash, title companies really have to scrutinize that transaction a little bit more. There’s been cases of money laundering with very high level people in corporate America that like to use real estate as a mechanism to launder money. TAMARA: Yup. KERI: You’re dealing with some mob people. BRANDON: Oh yeah. We have stories. There actually is a new law that was placed two years ago where the government has collaborated, using title companies, to monitor all cash transactions. KERI: Oh, okay. That’s good. TAMARA: It’s called FinCEN. BRANDON: Don’t want to bore you with the details of how it works, but by law, we have to work with the government to give them, basically, some information on who the buyer is with the cash. They keep it confidential to themselves, just to make sure it’s no one on their naughty list. KERI: Naughty list. Santa’s list. BRANDON: Oh yeah. They have their list. KERI: Interesting. BRANDON: Also, they say, okay, you’re fine. We close the deal and everything moves forward. KERI: That’s good to know. We actually just had that on a cash deal. We had to double check. That’s something I didn’t know prior. Obviously, you can see the importance of working with great vendors and all these things that go into these transactions that you don’t know about, even if you’re not that involved with the details. If you’re just buying a house through an app or something, these are the situations you can get caught up in and not be able to close or somebody else could buy the property with you that you don’t want to own it with you, etcetera. BRANDON: Yeah. KERI: It’s really important to be connected to great people. Thank you for sharing about title today and what it is. BRANDON: Sure. KERI: Hope that helps people. Just to leave, is there any situation that’s happened where you – I can think of a few – where you came in and saved the day from a property not closing in time, from someone losing a loan, or foreclosure. Are there any examples you can bring up just to close us out today on why you’re so awesome? BRANDON: Yeah. There’s a story recently that kind of made everyone, including myself, feel great. There’s so many different scenarios out there, and sometimes we have long-time property owners. One transaction in particular in the west side was a pretty high-end transaction, three plus million. The owner kind of fell behind on mortgage payments. It was what they call ‘distress sale’. She needed to sell so she wouldn’t lose her home to the bank. She still had a lot of equity. It was a good position for her because she could still sell and make two or three hundred plus thousand. KERI: That’s good. BRANDON: But, the clock was ticking on her house. KERI: Okay. BRANDON: She had to close escrow as soon as possible, because once the bank starts the foreclosure process, they don’t really pay attention to what’s happening in escrow. They really don’t care. They start that clock and they’re going to follow through with it. KERI: They’ll file and close whether somebody’s in escrow or not. It’s really important. BRANDON: Exactly. We have a buyer purchasing a transaction. We have a seller who’s up against the clock. It all came down to the last day to which the bank was going to repossess the property, foreclose on them, and that means everything in there, all the equity, would potentially be wiped out. KERI: Mh-hmm. BRANDON: One day to operate, where we had to basically close the day before. Not the day of, because it would be too close. KERI: Wow. Yeah. BRANDON: We met this nice old lady. We went down to the county recorder in Norwalk. It’s pretty far away. Traffic in LA is not easy. We had the buyer also meet us, just to make sure, by having both the buyer and the seller, that we could walk into the county recorder with them, representing them on the transaction, and we did a special recording – which you’re not really allowed to do in LA. KERI: Yup. Those don’t happen very often. BRANDON: We used some connections and got the job done. We got the job done, because the next day, she was going to lose her house and have two to three hundred thousand wiped out. KERI: That’s a lot of money to get wiped out, just because of title recording on the wrong day. That’s a huge asset. You want to make sure you have good people on your side throughout the process. Thanks guys, for being here. BRANDON: Yeah. TAMARA: Thank you so much. KERI: Hopefully, some people watching this will get to experience working with them when you sell your house. BRANDON: Awesome. Have a good one. KERI: Thanks’ for being on Keri TV! [cheers] [music]

The issue of ownership is very important when it comes time to list a home. Today we will discuss a few key scenarios about listing after ownership-related complications arise. Are you considering selling your home but don’t really know who owns the house? Well today I am joined by Shawn Harris and Alix Kammeyer from Fidelity National Title to discuss this important real estate quandary. I often meet with a seller only to find that they are not the person listed on the title. If this situation arises, the first important thing to know is how a property is vested. Imagine the following scenario: A husband and wife named Robert and Susan are on the title as joint tenants on a property. Now Susan has passed away and Robert is attempting to list the property, but he has not done anything to indicate his wife’s passing on the title. In this situation, Robert can still proceed with listing, but he will need to provide a valid copy of Susan’s death certificate and sign an affidavit of death of joint tenants. But what about when a family owns a home in a trust? How does this impact a person’s ability to list? To explain this, let’s return to the scenario we mentioned earlier. In this version of our example, Robert and Susan are still a married couple, Susan has passed away, and their property is owned in a trust. Before Robert can list, the title company will need to see the trust and verify that Susan was one of the trustees and that Robert is the only other trustee. “A lot goes into listing a home, especially if ownership issues are at play.” From there, the process will proceed in the same way as we previously described. Robert will still need to provide the two documents mentioned earlier, but, other than that, he would be able to proceed with listing. Finally, how can ownership of a property be impacted as a result of a divorce? In the state of California, 50% of marriages do not work out. So, this question is sure to be on the minds of many as they prepare to list. There are a couple of ways this scenario can unfold. Let’s use our imaginary couple, Robert and Susan, to explain once more. This time, imagine that Robert and Susan have been divorced for five or six years. Susan has quitclaimed her interest off because Robert was awarded the property, and she is now living in Europe. If Robert has not refinanced the home or had title insurance issued, he will need to acquire an affidavit of uninsured deed. This can be very difficult to obtain, so the first step before this comes into play is to look at the marriage settlement agreement and verify that Robert was truly awarded the property. Once this is verified, another important point to check is that Susan didn’t sign the quitclaim under duress. As is apparent, a lot goes into listing a home, especially if ownership issues are at play. It is critical to get in touch with a title company before proceeding with your sale to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Today, we sit down at the FOX 92.5 radio station to talk with Angela Petrick, an expert on titles and closing.Buying a Florida Gulf Coast Home? Search all Homes for Sale Selling a Florida Gulf Coast Home? Click here for a Home Value ReportToday, I’m here at the FOX 92.5 radio station with Angela Petrick from Fidelity National Title to talk about all things title, including closing, title insurance, settlements, and more. We’re really going to dig into Angela’s knowledge and expertise on closing, and we’ll hopefully answer a lot of people’s questions.Angela, since we live in such a unique area where we serve real estate customers from around the world, tell us what closing actually means.Closing is basically the day that we transfer title. It’s the day that the new owners actually become owners and the sellers hopefully get lots of money. We’re a title company, which means we don’t need attorneys to do our closings; a lot of northerners have questions about this because many of those states require an attorney to close transactions. We save a lot of money on fees that way. We do have an underwriting attorney in case a situation comes up that’s complicated, or we just need some advice; every title company has one on hand.Where do closings typically take place?They typically take place in our office, but we are also mobile. I’ve gone to hospitals and jails for closings. We can do closings pretty much anywhere. Mail away closings are also an option for sellers living out of state. Because Fidelity is so large, we usually have an office that’s within their range, and if not, we set one up with a mobile notary.For mail away closings, we work with the lender to make sure that they are aware that the seller or buyer is not going to be present for closing. When it’s the buyer, it’s a little bit trickier because they need to get us our documents in advance. For sellers, we normally call them right off the bat when we get the contract and ask them if they’re going to be present. If they aren’t, we send those documents in advance so that we can have them back by the day of closing.If you are thinking about buying, selling, or building real estate in Southwest Florida, give us a call or shoot us a text or email. If you have any title related questions, please reach out to Angela as well at 239-476-2226. She’d be happy to help.
