During the escrow process, the escrow officer will carry out instructions dictated by the parties. These steps can include any of the following and are unique to each home:
It’s critical that you research potential escrow partners with criteria in mind. Here is what we recommend you judge your potential escrow partner on:
Independent Status
The best escrow partner is someone who can serve as a completely neutral third party, with no ties to real estate companies or mortgage firms that might influence their actions. You should always ask more questions about “in house escrow” or shared ownership arrangements.
The California Department of Business Oversight can verify if an escrow agent is truly independent (meaning the individual and his or her company has “met and satisfied all of the licensing requirements” set forth by California escrow law).
The Right Experience and Resources
At the very least, you want an escrow partner who has substantial experience in this field. It is recommended that you make a quick call to review experience and make sure there is a good personality fit with your escrow team.
Beyond that, it’s important to learn about their distinctive value proposition and whether they have the resources to meet your specific needs. The most qualified escrow partner will use technology to make things easier for you, including:
On average, escrow lasts between 30 – 45 days. This is dependent on many factors, but most importantly the swift collection of critical documents and timely processing from all parties involved (e.g. buyer, seller, real estate agent, loan officer, etc.)
Yes! Choosing an escrow officer is much like choosing your real estate agent. Get several referrals from trusted sources and then compare services, cost and convenience.
