TITLE TIP #6 - FILL IN THE BLANKS ... We Can't Read Your Mind!
I always tell my escrow team that they are deaf. Yes,deaf!
Why would I say that?
Because we must follow your written instructions on your real estate purchase agreement and if you leave anything blank, we can't assume what you want to happen. If something does not apply to you, use NA or cross it off so we know this was not an oversite or mistake. Make certain that you or your agent leave no blanks on the contract.
When you TELL us what you meant,be sure to put it in writing and that ALL parties sign and date the changes or addendums to your contract.
Please remember:
Your escrow officer can ONLY follow WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS.
That's why I remind them they are "deaf" to oral instructions and can only follow those they can SEE in writing.
Take the stress out of your closing:
PUT IT IN WRITING AND LEAVE NO BLANKS!
