Many home owners have received their property tax bill for 2009 in the mail. Unless you own your home free and clear, your bill generally will state:
This Is Not A Bill - Do Not Pay!
To many first time home owners and especially to many future first time home buyers wanting to purchase a Lakeland Real Estate, this is a new terminology to them. The bill also states that your bill has been forwarded to your Escrow Agent.
One of the things I love most about my job as a Lakeland real estate professional is that I get to educate my buyers about the real estate purchasing process. With a doubt, a term that is often not very well understood by new Lakeland home buyers is the term Escrow Account. So, I’ve written down a brief overview for you here.
An escrow account is a specially designated savings account into which funds are deposited for a defined purpose.
With respect to Lakeland real estate and mortgages, your escrow account is used to hold money in a neutral account prior to closing, and later to pay real estate tax bills and homeowners insurance payments.
Once your mortgage is in effect, escrow accounts are managed and disbursed by lenders or their designated servicing companies.
Lenders generally require, whether you opt for an FHA, VA guaranteed or a conventional mortgage, that you “escrow” your scheduled monthly home owners insurance (hazard insurance) as well as a set amount for your property taxes. The lender basically wants to be sure that you will be able to cover these bills when they come due. When the time does come for them to be paid, your lender cuts a check to each entity from your escrow account. You do not have to pay these bills directly.
Dear Veterans!
I am not a U.S. citizen although have been married to a retired military vet for over 25 years now and shared with him the last ten or so years of his military service during the cold war. I've never felt such an outpouring of thankfulness amongst this nation until after Desert Shield/Desert Storm. Luckily my husband was never called upon to fight in front of enemy lines. His service started in 1975 and ended in 1995 in the maintenance field with a short deployment to Iraq.
My husband's dad Charles served in the Korean War in the Air Force. My brother-in-law Charles served in Vietnam, my other brother-in-law Allen served around the same time as my husband Jim. My son-in-law David is serving as a Marine reservist and already had a tour of duty in Iraq. My other son-in-law Andrew graduated from the Air Force Academy and is committed for a few years at least. To my friends who served along with my husband. I'm very thankful for their service.
In addition to my family, I want to personally thank those of you who faught for our freedom in front of enemy lines, families who lost their fathers, brothers, sisters, mothers aunts and uncles, the sacrafices you have done and continue to do so - My heartfelt thanks!
Have a blessed and safe Veterans Day! For those who serve and will be serving in front of enemy lines - stay safe!
Sincerely,
Petra Norris
