Buying A Orange Home – Understanding The Escrow Process
If you’re trying to close escrow on an Orange property in foreclosure, be prepared for surprises. If you’ve done your homework and studied many of the possible problems, you’ll have a much smoother escrow and closing process.
As you go to the steps of trying to buy a home, it’s important to understand what escrow does. Escrow is a method of transferring or exchanging real estate that you own through the services of a neutral third party. In many states, these agents are composed of professionals who have been specially educated and accredited to handle these types of transactions or exchanges.
During the process of escrow, the homebuyer transfers money or has their bank transfer money to the escrow agent. The seller of the property then transfers title of the property to escrow. When all the terms of the contract are satisfied, the escrow agent then transfers the property to the buyer and parcels out the money to pay off any debts or liens, and hands the remaining funds to the seller.
