Settling the last details like obtaining funds, finishing forms, securing the documents for loans and liens, and making sure you get a spotless title to the home before your purchase gets finalized are all parts of closing in which an escrow company is useful.
Escrow holders want to obtain the following documents:
Closing on the property happens when all of the procedures of the escrow are finished. At this time, all payments and fees for inspections, title insurance and real estate commissions are taken. Title to the home is then transferred to you as new owner and appropriate title insurance is issued as outlined in the escrow policy.
The escrow agent gets a payment at the completion of closing. As your real estate agent, I'll let you know what is an acceptable form of payment.
A Mortgage Escrow Account is established to pay recurring fees while there is a loan on the house. Generally, the Escrow Account is partially funded at closing and the home buyer makes on-going contributions through their monthly mortgage payment.
Once you have the ABCs of the escrow process down, you can be a informed buyer.
