WHY YOU NEED ESCROW

Escrow is a regulated third party entity that receives and disburses funds and collects documents required by the parties involved in the transaction (i.e. lenders, title companies, buyers, sellers, brokers/agents) to facilitate the closing of the transaction. Closing is the conveyance of title or the issuance of a deed. Escrow is needed to ensure all related parties that all required instructions are met before any funds are disbursed and any title is conveyed. Currently, City Escrow is proud to offer services for refinance transactions, resale/purchase transactions, commercial transactions, tract/lot transactions, bulk sale transactions, and ABC/liquor license transactions.

WHY THE ESCROW PROCESS IS MORE CONVENIENT WITH CITY ESCROW

City Escrow is a pioneer in making the escrow process uncomplicated and convenient. We have automated our process and delivery system so that documents can reach you and necessary parties in a timely manner. Our delivery time for important documents is 24 hours through express mail services or same day by messenger. When escrow closes, City Escrow can have the funds wired to the seller and necessary parties immediately. When loan documents are ready, we have a mobile sign-up service that can go to the buyer's home to notarize and explain loan documents.

Additionally, City Escrow has made it a mission to streamline the escrow process through the use of technology. Our automated technology allows us to obtain and relay information to our customers in the most efficient and least intrusive manner. In addition, our streamline system allows us to communicate efficiently with lenders, insurance companies, and title companies. Each of our offices has the ability to receive loan documents online, thereby cutting down on delivery time and costs. Similarly, all clients may check their escrow instructions, payoffs or prelims online.
