The Role of Escrow in Real Estate Transactions

Real estate deals involve large sums of money and multiple parties. Escrow services play a vital role in keeping these deals smooth and secure.

Why Use Escrow in Real Estate?

  • Protects Both Parties: Ensures the buyer’s funds are safe until the seller hands over ownership.

  • Holds Important Documents: Escrow can also secure documents like title deeds until all terms are met.

  • Ensures Compliance: Helps verify that all conditions (inspections, repairs, approvals) are completed before closing.

When to Use It:

  • Buying/selling homes

  • Land purchases

  • Commercial property deals

Escrow is the neutral middle ground that protects everyone’s interest—buyers, sellers, and agents.
