Resolved to Buy a House in 2019?
Many people have been planning to purchase a home in 2019. Before you know it, 2019 will be here, so now is the perfect time to think about making this big move next year. Of course, you’ll need to save for a down payment and other expenses, and make sure you have an excellent realtor in mind, and start narrowing down your preferences in terms of which area you’d like the home to be in. As the popular refrain goes, it’s all about “location, location, location!” One other essential element of preparing to buy a home is choosing an escrow company.
Choosing an escrow company
There are so many escrow companies to choose from in the greater South Bay area, but none match the expertise, attention to detail, and dedication to impeccable service at Neighborhood Escrow. It’s so important to choose an escrow company that you can trust because they will be responsible for holding onto highly important documents and money, as well as making sure all stipulations agreed upon by all parties are fulfilled before any property has changed hands. If the escrow agent messes up in any way, the consequences could be disastrous. But the good news is that when you choose Neighborhood Escrow, all your needs will be completely taken care of with utmost diligence.
What is escrow?
If this is your first time purchasing a home, you probably have some basic questions. We’d like to go ahead and get those answered before we move on. At the simplest level, escrow is a process that allows a neutral third party (the escrow agent) to hold onto money and documents on behalf of all parties involved in a real estate transaction. Parties in a real estate transaction typically include the buyer, seller, lender, and borrower. The escrow agent is entrusted with fulfilling all the instructions given by these parties, and following all instructions prescribed in the Residential Purchase Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions are met before officially closing the real estate transaction. Having an escrow agent you can really trust will provide tremendous peace of mind when buying a home.
What about the money?
For many people, expenses are one of the most salient factors in choosing a home to purchase. It’s no different when the time comes to choose an escrow agent. You’ll find that while our fees aren’t the most minimal, they also aren’t exorbitantly expensive. We strive to price our fees in the most reasonable, transparent way possible – you can find the full list of fees here.
