What we do as an Escrow company?

An escrow company acts as a neutral third party in a variety of transactions, ranging from real estate deals to online purchases. Its primary function is to securely hold assets, documents, funds, or property until specific conditions are met by all parties involved. This ensures that the transaction is carried out smoothly, without any party being left vulnerable to potential risks or uncertainties.

The Escrow process

When retaining an escrow company like Stanford Escrow, the process is systematically followed:

1. Mutual Agreement: The parties involved in the transaction agree to the terms and conditions, including the use of an escrow service. This initial step lays the foundation for a transparent and well-structured transaction.

2. Opening Escrow: The involved parties deposit the agreed-upon funds, assets, or documents with the escrow company. This step establishes a secure holding ground until all conditions specified in the agreement are met.

3. Verification and Due Diligence: Escrow companies often conduct thorough verification and due diligence to ensure that all documentation and requirements are met. This step safeguards against fraud and misrepresentation.

4. Condition Fulfillment: Once all conditions are met, as stipulated in the agreement, the escrow company releases the held funds, assets, or documents to the respective parties. This action signifies the successful completion of the transaction.

5. Closing Escrow: The escrow process concludes with the formal closing, signifying the end of the neutral party’s involvement. This ensures a transparent and accountable closure of the transaction.
