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.
