COLORADO
Who do youhave behindyour realestatetransaction?
Buying a new home is a funprocess, but it’s also a complexone. From hiring a real estateagent to finding and comparingproperties to negotiating offers,you may be overwhelmed wellbefore your transaction evenreaches escrow. That’s whyhaving industry experts behindyour closing can help you avoidor alleviate common transactionproblems and keep your dealmoving — so you can enjoy the
benefits of hom-eownership assoon as possible.The title
insuranceunderwritersand escrowofficers of FirstAmerican Titleof Coloradohave the localexperience youwant behindyour transaction,combined withthe resources ofa large, nationalcompany thatdates backto 1889. Fordecades, theselocal expertshave supportedColoradoreal estatetransactions
with title and escrow services,helping to create happy Coloradohomeowners.Meet a few of First American’s
local experts:Patti VanBuskirk has more
than 24 years of Colorado escrowexperience. She says that havingthe flexibility to respond to hercustomers’ needs is what helpsher close transactions. “I recentlyworked with a client who is along-haul truck driver and oftenaway from home,” she said. “He’dgiven power of attorney to hiswife to expedite their propertysale. Unfortunately, the formwasn’t properly notarized andcouldn’t be used. Needing toclose the next day, we immedi-ately arranged for a notary tomeet him at a truck stop outsideof Las Vegas to sign and notarizea valid power of attorney.”Shelly Helm, who has worked
in escrow for 18 years, contrib-utes her successful closings tofinding creative solutions to keepher transactions moving. “Lastmonth, we had a deal that wasready to close,” she said. “At theeleventh hour, two mechanics’liens were recorded that had tobe paid by the sellers to closeon time. We arranged for com-munication between our expertColorado underwriters and allthe involved parties in order toresolve the issue in time to close.”And, of course, expert under-
writing plays a key role in closingtransactions successfully, asCarl Laffin, who has 26 years ofColorado underwriting experi-ence, can attest. “When a recenttitle search showed the propertyhad been purchased out offoreclosure, we knew this couldcause significant delays,” he said.“Then, 10 days before closing, welearned that more than $100,000of new construction had beenadded to the property, whichcould lead to mechanics’ liensand unforeseen bills. We hustledto investigate, leaving no stoneunturned. Net result was an on-time closing, benefiting all partiesto the transaction.”First American stands behind
the belief that buying a homeshould be a positive experience.And with the right expertsbehind your transaction, you cankeep it that way.For more information on First

ANALYSISComparative Market
Step One
Buyers buy emotionally, and if you capture their hearts, you will capture their offers. In order to ensure a
fantastic first impression, we will create ideal curb appeal as an inviting exterior ensures a view of the interior.
Room by room staging will build that emotional connection and help to increase your bottom line.
Finally, we will implement solid best practices and strategies for effective buyer showings.
SET THE STAGE
BEST PRICE STRATEGYStep Two
A Best Price Strategy goes beyond reviewing comparable sales. With available and sold data readily available on the
Internet, it is easy to create a static picture of the market. A strategy requires more. Together, we perform a market
study which analyzes trends and review your property as it sits within the real estate market today. A physical tour
of properties that are in direct competition may also be beneficial in selecting the best price for your home.
MAXIMUM EXPOSUREStep Three
A successful sale that yields top dollar flows from an empirical strategy that goes beyond MLS entry. Our goal is to
provide a home with relevant exposure designed to connect sellers with potential buyers from the local market to
a national and global audience. Local market expertise is aptly supported by a brand with access to online, print and
unconventional marketing venues delivering powerful results at all price points.
YOUR TRUSTED ADVISOR, MANAGING THE DETAILS
Step Four
There are several moving parts in a real estate transaction. Many real estate contracts simply do not make it to the
closing table. Expert negotiation, communication and the management of details is the top priority to complete any
sale. Your Trusted Advisor will educate and guide you to make good decisions to fulfill your objectives.
Step Five
When you choose a broker to represent you, you are also choosing their company. Our company maintains
critical values and standards of integrity, a commitment to innovation, a full service approach and a market success
track record, second to none. Together, these elements deliver tangible results for every client.
