The Escrow Process

The Escrow Process can be defined as the vehicle by which the title transfer process is closed.  In Arizona Real Estate transactions, this process typically uses a neutral third party, such as a Title Company.  The Title company will hold documents and transaction funds while carrying out the instructions of the Buyer and Seller that have been agreed to within a valid purchase contract.

 

The first step in the process is the existence of a valid purchase agreement or contract between the Buyer and Seller.  The following is a brief overview of some of the tasks that may be performed by the parties involved in the escrow process:

 

The Seller

Addresses and helps clear any "clouds" on the preliminary Title Report

Provides information for payoff amounts

Submits for deposit in escrow receipts for performed repairs
