ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Escrow?

Simply stated, escrow is a deposit of funds, deed, or other collateral by one party for delivery to another party upon the completion of a condition or event. For example, when you enter an agreement to purchase a house, you agree to earnest money to secure your commitment to purchase. Because the transaction is not complete, the money needs to be held by a third party or escrow until the purchase of the property is complete. The third party is a trusted neutral party trusted by both the buyer and seller.

Are there closing costs with Escrow?

Yes. There are closing costs for a third party escrow to hold your deposit. They are paid directly to the escrow or title company that sets up escrow for your transaction. The fees are not merely for holding your money, but covers the cost of paperwork such as recording the deed.

How does escrow work?

There are multiple parties or principals in a transaction: the buyer, the seller, the lender, and the borrower. Each party has different sets of instructions needed to be completed for the transactions to be completed.

Who Chooses the Escrow?

Choosing an escrow company is usually done by agreement between the principals in the transaction. If a real estate broker is involved, they may recommend an escrow holder. However, it is within the rights of the principals to make this selection.

What Should I look for in an escrow company?

Trust and experience are key in choosing an escrow company. Reputation for speed of transaction and competitive fees is important. In some cases, escrow fees can be substantial, and you need to find an escrow company that is competitive and offers low rates on the transactions.

Who can provide escrow services in California?

Escrow law in California states an escrow must be a corporation and licensed by the California Corporations Commissioner.
