What Is My Role In Escrow?

Both buyers and sellers have responsibilities during the escrow process and must do their respective parts to keep the transaction moving.
 
The Sellers:
• Carry out all escrow instructions.
• Provide the deed, via the escrow officer and listing agent.
• Submit all other required paperwork as outlined in the Purchase Agreement, such as insurance policies, home warranties, tax receipts, etc. (The settlement agent will provide clear instructions on what is needed.)
 
The Buyers:
• Submit a down payment, plus any other funds required.
• Carry out all escrow instructions.
• Approve inspection reports, preliminary title reports, and other items detailed in the Purchase Agreement.
• Execute a Deed of Trust/Mortgage to secure the loan.

Triggs Bay Resort

Triggs Bay Resort in Arnolds Park

I had the opportunity and privilege to work at Triggs for 4 years in my high school and college years. Jim Triggs and Mike May run one of the best family resorts in the Lakes Area. The resort has 48 condo style units that are continually updated and maintained immaculately. It truly is a family resort as most units are rented each week every year by the same families. People really begin to know each other and I had a great time getting to know all of the families better each year. We always looked forward to seeing them each year and catching up. Triggs offers boat/watercraft rentals, 4 gas docks, boat hoists for rent, an outdoor pool, a daily groomed beach, game room, and many more great amenities. If you are planning a vacation to Okoboji, I highly encourage you to call early and see if you can get a reservation at Triggs Bay Resort. You will not be disappointed.

Big Spirit Lake, Small Town Feel

Big Spirit Lake, Small Town Feel in Big Spirit Lake

Separated from the rest of the Iowa Great Lakes, Big Spirit has a lot to offer. Big Spirit is actually located in Iowa and in Minnesota. This quiet setting offers a number of different lake views as well as access to fantastic fishing. While your are there, stop at the Spirit Lake Fish Hatchery. Every year they use gillnetting to catch and release walleye, muskie and pike using each fish to help breed a new batch of fish for the year. Often times the DNR catches very large fish and put them on display in one of their many fish tanks. The DNR professionals harvest fish eggs and release them after they hatch. Stop by and see the in the Spring, you will not be disappointed.
