I’be been in the Real Estate field (as both a Realtor and Mortgage Loan Officer) for over 23 years and have interacted with hundreds of escrows, and by far Dusty Cockrell and Luxury Escrow is top tier. From superior knowledge, to efficiency, to pleasant personalities, this full service escrow will make your transaction smooth and stress free. Give them a try on your next transaction, you definitely won’t be disappointed.

Escrow is a financial arrangement where a neutral third party holds and manages funds or assets for two parties engaged in a transaction. California Escrow Law Section 17003 of the Financial Code defines it as the deposit of funds, a deed, or other instrument by one party for delivery to another party upon fulfillment of specific conditions or events.
Why do I need an escrow?
Escrow is crucial for all parties involved in a transaction, including buyers, sellers, lenders, and borrowers. It provides security by ensuring that no funds or property are exchanged until all transaction conditions are met. The escrow holder is tasked with safeguarding funds and documents, only disbursing them when all provisions of the escrow agreement have been satisfied.
How does escrow work?
The escrow process commences when the principal parties (buyer, seller, lender, borrower) create and sign escrow instructions, which are then submitted to the escrow officer. If a broker is involved, they typically provide the necessary information for preparing these instructions. The escrow officer processes the escrow according to these instructions and concludes it when all conditions are fulfilled. While escrows follow a similar pattern, each is unique to the specific property and transaction involved.
Who chooses the escrow?
The selection of an escrow holder is typically a mutual decision between the principal parties. While real estate brokers may suggest an escrow holder, the principals have the right to select a competent and experienced professional for their specific type of escrow. Laws prohibiting referral fees are in place to ensure that consumers receive the highest quality escrow services without compromise.
