Check with the Arizona Department of Real Estate or their website http://www.re.state.az.us/ for licensed real estate professionals. •        DO NOT sign documents with blank spaces or blank documents. •        DO NOT sign any documents that you do not understand. •        DO NOT ignore lender "warning letters."
