Escrow securely holds your earnest money deposit (EMD) and all other transaction funds until the sale is finalized. This ensures the seller receives payment only when all terms of the agreement are satisfied—and protects your deposit if conditions aren’t met.

Managing Documents & Compliance
Escrow manages all necessary documents—purchase agreements, title documents, disclosures, and more—ensuring everything is completed accurately and in full compliance with legal requirements. They catch errors and missing signatures before they become problems.

Facilitating Communication
Escrow acts as the communication hub between you, the seller, and both agents. They coordinate the flow of information and keep all parties informed about the transaction status, deadlines, and outstanding requirements.

Ensuring All Conditions Are Met
Before closing, escrow verifies that all conditions outlined in the purchase agreement have been satisfied—inspections completed, appraisals received, financing approved, and any negotiated repairs or credits addressed.

Closing the Transaction
Once all conditions are met, escrow facilitates the closing by disbursing funds to the seller, recording the deed with the appropriate government offices, and officially transferring ownership to you. This is when you become the legal owner and receive your keys.
