The Escrow Process

Both Buyer and Seller deserve the assurance that no funds or property will change hands until all of the instructions in the Purchase Contract have been satisfied. The Realtor submits Buyers and Sellers signed documents and Buyers deposit money to be held by an independent neutral third party (Escrow). After the conditions agreed upon by both Buyer and Seller (in the Purchase Contract) are satisfied, Escrow then distributes the documents and the funds.

The escrow holder is an independent neutral third party; works for both the Buyer and the Seller, and is authorized to follow the specific written instructions provided by both parties. Escrow functions:

Receives and deposits (into escrows account) Buyer's initial deposit and prepares escrow package. Requests "demands" (pay-off statements) from existing lenders and/or lien holders. Obtains Seller's notarized signature on grant deed. Safeguards grant deed until all terms and conditions are met and Buyers remaining certified funds are on deposit. Orders title search and receives and distributes preliminary title report. Calculates prorations pertaining to property taxes, rents, insurance, interest, and other expenses as required.

Coordinates with Buyer's lender throughout the escrow process. Orders and processes Buyer's loan documents. Coordinates Buyers signing of loan documents and their return to Buyers lender. Receives Buyer's final down payment funds and coordinates funding with Buyer's lender.

Orders recordation of grant deed conveying title to Buyer and distributes all funds: pays-off existing loans; pays other required costs, such as termite completion, home protection policy; etc. Releases net proceeds to Seller.

Simultaneously, the Buyer and the Buyer's lender are engaged with the loan approval process. Lender duties:
