Escrow consists of the performance of the many functions undertaken to quickly and safely close your real estate transaction. These functions include protecting the seller’s title until all terms are completed. The buyer’s deposit is also kept secure (in trust) until property transfer is finalized. In essence, escrow provides a central location where all funds and documents can be deposited until disbursement.
