Getting Started
The buyers agent fills out an offer to purchase with the buyer. This is then presented to the seller for them to accept or make a counter offer.
Amendment to Offer to Purchase
Prior Title Evidence
Prior title evidence can be provided in the form of a title commitment, final policy, or abstract that the seller received when they purchased the property. A great benefit of Prior Title Evidence is a discount is given at the time the order is placed (even if it was produced at a different company); not to mention, the efficiency is maximized when utilizing Prior Title Evidence.
In Wisconsin, if you are the sellers agent, you are responsible for placing the order for an Owner’s Policy. The seller is usually responsible for this cost.
In Minnesota, the selling agent is still typically responsible for ordering the Owner’s Policy. However, the buyer will usually pay this cost.

Title Insurance
Owners Policy
An insurance policy protecting a buyer against any defects, liens, or encumbrances on the title of the property.
In Wisconsin, typically the seller of a property pays for title insurance protecting the buyer. It is the seller’s responsibility to provide the new owner with clear title to the property.
In Minnesota, the buyer typically pays the Owners and Loan Policy of the Title Insurance.
