    You're much more likely to follow through on your goals if you plan out when you'll do the steps to achieve them.

    So, take a moment to schedule out on your calendar when you'll actually do the tasks for this week on your calendar. Make an appointment with yourself to do them. If you need to reschedule one, reschedule it (don't delete it).

  9. REAL ESTATE BROKER: Sending "Contract to Buy and Sell Real Estate" to Title Insurance Company
    As soon as you go under contract, your Real Estate Broker should send a copy of your "Contract to Buy and Sell Real Estate" to the Title Insurance Company so they can order the Title Insurance Commitment and send you a copy of the Title Work for you to review.

  12. Confirm how you want to take title to the property
    In some cases we will write the "Contract to Buy and Sell Real Estate" saying that Buyer will determine how they will take title to the property prior to Closing.

    If we wrote that in your "Contract to Buy and Sell Real Estate" this would be the time to notify your Real Estate Broker and Title Insurance Company how you plan to take title to the property.

    Your Real Estate Broker may need to create an "Amend/Extend" to modify the "Contract to Buy and Sell Real Estate" to make this change.

    If you selected how you plan to take title before writing the offer and it is correctly reflected in the "Contract to Buy and Sell Real Estate", you do not need to do anything with this task.

  13. REAL ESTATE BROKER: Checking Title Work against standard checklist
    Once you and your Real Estate Broker receive a copy of the Title Work, your Real Estate Broker should check the Title Commitment against a standard checklist to check for obvious errors and mistakes.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Your Real Estate Broker is not a Title Attorney nor are they trained to interpret Title Work. You should not rely on them to review your Title Work for you. If you have questions about the Title Work, the first questions should be directed to the people providing it to you: the Title Insurance Company. They will be
    selling/providing you with a Title Insurance Policy and if you have questions about what that covers and does not cover, asking them first is a great idea.

    If you still have questions after talking to your Title Insurance Company, the next person to speak with is your own Title Attorney who has received training and specializes in the unique legal aspects of Title Work.

    You should receive a copy of the Title Work from the Title Company shortly after going under contract with the help of the Real Estate Brokers involved in the transaction.

    Review Title Work and highlight any sections you have questions about. Write down your questions.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Real Estate Brokers do not receive training on how to interpret Title Work so while they may be able to answer very basic questions, they are not competent to answer questions about the Title Work itself. For that, you will rely on getting info from the Title Company that is providing the Title Insurance and/or by hiring your own Title Attorney who is educated on Title Work.

    You may want to meet with your Title Attorney and/or Title Company to ask questions about it.

    If there is something in the Title Work that is unacceptable to you, let your Real Estate Broker know as soon as possible and definitely before the Record Title Objection Deadline.

  69. If you haven't already, determine your Insurance Agent
    If you have already done so, decide which Insurance Agent you will use to insure your home purchase. You'll need this once you go under contract, but you'll want to do it earlier so you can get an estimate of insurance for analyzing deals.

    You can ask your Real Estate Broker for recommendations.

    Mark this task complete once you've decided on an Insurance Agent to use.

  70. Get Insurance Quote
    Now that you're under contract, it is time to get a firm Insurance Quote from your Insurance Agent.

    If you are unable to get reasonable insurance on the property, you need to tell your Real Estate Broker prior to the "Property Insurance Objection Deadline" to be able to terminate and get your Earnest Money back.

    Mark this task complete once you've gotten an acceptable Insurance Quote.

  71. IF RENTING IMMEDIATELY: Consider "Loss of Rent" insurance
    If you're immediately going to have a Tenant or Tenant-Buyer in the property, you should discuss with your Insurance Agent getting "Loss of Rent" coverage to cover you in case you can't collect rent on the property.

  72. IF CONDO: Consider Loss Assessment Coverage
    If you are buying a townhome/condo, we would also suggest asking your Insurance Agent about Loss Assessment Coverage. It protects against additional assessments by the property association that wouldn't already be covered by their insurance, but I'd check with your agent about exactly what it would cover.

    Discuss how changing your deductible with your Insurance Agent might change the monthly cost and see how much risk you're comfortable with.

  74. IF TERMINATING: REAL ESTATE BROKER: Prepare "Notice To Terminate" and "Earnest Money Release"
    If you cannot find acceptable insurance, let your Real Estate Broker know prior to the Property Insurance Objection Deadline so they can prepare a "Notice To Terminate" and "Earnest Money Release" with enough time for you to sign it and deliver it to the Seller and the Seller's Real Estate Broker prior to the Property Insurance Objection Deadline.

  77. IF NEGOTIATED IN CONTRACT: Review existing leases and related paperwork
    If you're buying a property that has tenants in the property, you should review the current leases during the Due Diligence period.

    This should include:

    • Leases for all tenants
    • Lead-Based Paint Disclosure (if built prior to 1978)
    • Co-signor agreements (if applicable)
    • Mold Disclosure (if applicable)
    • Move-In Inspection
    • Occupancy Limits Disclosure (required in Fort Collins)
    • Tenant Estoppel Statements

    If you have an objection (or want to terminate based on what you find in the leases) you'd need to object by the Due Diligence Objection Deadline.

    Mark this task done once you've reviewed the existing leases and related paperwork.
