Title and Escrow
A Title is a legal document that contains all the property’s essentials, including the characteristics of the property and who has ownership rights of it. The term “ escrow” refers to a proceeding in which a neutral party holds the interested parties funds during a real estate transaction.
Title Company vs. Escrow Company
The role of a tile company is to ensure the title of the property is legitimate. Once a property is considered legitimate, a title company will issue title insurance to protect the parties involved in the transaction, the buyer and any lender(s) involved.
An escrow company is a neutral third-party that will hold the money during the transaction, as well as all the essential documents associated with its closing.
Why do I need a Title and Escrow Service?
Buying or selling a property is a process involving plenty of time-demanding tasks. Problems with the title can limit your use and enjoyment of the property, as well as financial loss. The combined efforts of a title and escrow company offers maximum protection against any dangers in the process of closing a home.
