Non-Judicial

In a non-judicial foreclosure state, the lender does not need to go through the court system in order to foreclose on a property. This process can be quicker and less expensive for the lender compared to a judicial foreclosure.

Title companies and title agents both handle closings. Conveyance is by warranty deed. Whereas deeds of trust are the security instruments most often used, mortgages and “agreements for sale” are used approximately 20% of the time. Foreclosure depends upon the security instrument. For deeds of trust, the foreclosure process takes about 91 days. Arizonans use ALTA owner’s and lender’s policies, standard or extended, with standard endorsements. The seller customarily pays for the owner’s policy, and the buyer pays for the lender’s policy. They split escrow costs otherwise. There are no documentary, transfer, or mortgage taxes. The first property tax installment is due October 1st and delinquent November 1st; the second half is due March 1st and delinquent May 1st. Arizona is a community-property state.

First installment due October 1st second due March 1st

YES. Key components of property management are considered a real estate activity under existing Arizona real estate licensing laws. A broker's license is required for any person or company who, for compensation, engages in the lease or rental of real estate in Arizona, who offers or lists real estate for rent or lease, who collects rent for the use of real estate or who negotiates the rental or leasing of Arizona real estate. A salesperson working under a broker may engage in such activities. Arizona is one of the few states having a section in its real estate statute specifically devoted to property management requirements. Arizona law requires that property management agreements contain specific provisions, that all property management accounts are designated as trust accounts, and that records be kept in a certain manner.

Yes. For example: - Residential leasing agents or on-site managers of residential rental properties need not be licensed if they work at only one location during their regular work day and receive no special compensation (such as commissions or property management fees). - Property managers for one or for contiguous nonresidential income properties under common ownership, employed by the owner's licensed management agent; - People engaged in short-term rentals (31 or fewer days in a dwelling unit in a common interest development). For more information about these and other Arizona property management requirements and exceptions, please contact the Arizona Department of Real Estate. Before hiring a property manager to manage your Arizona rental property, you should always check that he or she is licensed appropriately. You can look up a licensee, real estate school or get a public report on the Arizona Department of Real Estate's Public Database.
