Escrow
What is escrow? Buyers and sellers of a piece of property establish terms and conditions for the transfer of ownership of the property. These terms and conditions are given to a third party known as the escrow holder. In turn, the escrow holder has the responsibility of seeing that terms of the escrow are carried out. The escrow is an independent neutral account and the vehicle by which the mural instructions of all parties to the transaction are complied with.
Why is escrow needed? Whether you are the buyer or the seller, you want assurance that no funds or property will change hands until all instructions have been followed. With the increasing complexity of business, law and tax structures, it takes a trained professional to supervise the transaction.
How long is an escrow? The length of an escrow is determined by the terms of the purchase agreement/joint escrow instructions and can range from a few days to several months.
We work with various escrow company’s in the area.
