After you decide to sell your house to us, you will enter into escrow. Escrow is a term that describes a process where there is a neutral third-party that handles the funds associated with the transaction. Escrow is a fancy way of talking about an arrangement between you (the seller) and us (the buyer) in which we have an independent and non-biased professional company handle the funds, process documents, and perform other related tasks that are needed in order to make the sale final – and most importantly safe for both you and us. Escrow is one of the pieces of the home selling process that helps make it a safe transaction for you and us. It makes is safe by protecting the assets (i.e., the home, cash, documents, deeds, etc.) of the buyer and the seller so that each fulfills their obligations of the sales agreement before the final transaction is made. The duration of the escrow process varies depending upon the details of each transaction, but it can typically be done in as little as two weeks – if everything is in order and all documents are present.
