Real Estate Title Fraud

Handling fraud in any situation is difficult. When it comes to title insurance, there are some things to keep in mind. First, let's define title insurance. Title Insurance is insurance that covers financial loss as a result of a defect in a title to real estate. Second, we need to know what period the insurance will cover. When we buy homeowner's or auto insurance, we are covering our home or auto from the time we purchase the policy until that point in the future that the coverage is canceled. With title insurance, though, it works in reverse. Title insurance covers from the moment you purchase your home and into the past. If you are sued after you close on the property, then the title insurance may not cover you. Finally, title insurance issues can be quite tricky, especially with Tulsa luxury real estate. To ensure that you are covered for everything you need, talk to your Tulsa area attorney or your Tulsa title company. You may even consider asking for extended coverage on your title insurance to cover you from your home purchase into the future.

Tulsa luxury real estate seems to be a topic that interests many people. People ask "What price constitutes a Tulsa luxury home?" or "How do I bring luxury living to my home". In Tulsa and surrounding areas, luxury homes begin at $500,000. All luxury homes, have common characteristics including price, amenities, and materials.

Are Those Add-On Fees on Your Closing Document Illegal?

In 2009, the US District Court ruled that add-on fees on the HUD-1 closing document could be against federal law. Commissions on the HUD-1 can be a flat fee, a percentage of sales price, or a combination but should not exceed the agreed upon commission in the listing brokers listing agreement. If the fee exceeds that agreed upon amount then HUD can determine if the services provided justify the additional charges. Unjustified charges are against the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act or RESPA and can be subject to penalties.
