We are buying a home, how do I take title?

I have worked with a lot of buyers over the years, and they always ask the question; “How should I take title; the title company wants to know?” It seems like such an easy question, but, because I cannot give legal advise, I cannot answer the question.  REALTORS© and real estate agents cannot give legal or tax advise.
I can provide my clients with the resources needed to help them make their own decisions.
Thanks to Cornerstone Title Company, I am posting a link to their handout that explains the options for buyers.  Click the link below to learn about the ways you can hold title to your new home, and hopefully you will be able to figure out the best way in your personal situation. If you still need help after reading the attached document, please contact your attorney for legal advise.

How do you close an escrow if you are out of the country?

It happens, really it does. I am working with a client and they have to travel to China for business just when we are ready to close escrow. Or, the client lives in another country and is investing here in Elk Grove. How do we manage to close an escrow under those conditions.

Thanks to Cornerstone Title, I am posting a link to their handout that answers this question.

If I am living overseas or if I am on vacation when it is time to sign escrow documents?
