WHY ESCROW?
You’ve ju st put a hefty
deposit down on a house you
plan to buy. Instead o f that
deposit money going directly
to the seller to hold, it is held
in escrow by the seller’s agent.
Why?
Escrow is the deposit of a
deed, deposit money, or other
instruments with a third party
for delivery upon performance
of a condition. In a real es
tate transaction, the broker
frequently acts as the escrow
agent. Escrow protects the
seller - his documents will not

be used until full payment is
made. It protects the buyer - his
deposit funds will not be used
until he obtains a clear title.
Escrow also acts as a clearing
house from which demands

at closing.
This in no way supersedes
or eliminates the services of
an attorney. The attorney must
still handle the writing and
recording o f documents as
sociated with the title transfer.
Escrow is a service offered by
most professional agencies.
