Our Experienced Escrow Agents in Sacramento, CA

When it comes to your finances, you want to make sure that your money is moving in the most secure manner possible. You may be deciding to make a large purchase or sale; however, you find yourself wondering whether the second party will be able to fulfill specific requirements needed to secure a property or other investment. At times like these, an escrow officer is very commonly used to propose a “third party” that is not the buyer or seller, one that both parties are confident they can entrust their funds to for a temporary amount of time.

Choose our escrow association to handle your finances; you can trust our experienced members to work with you when you’re preparing for a significant move. They will help you outline the general provisions, legal responsibilities, and limitations. An escrow details things such as the date in which the escrow was opened, an expected closing date, as well as the escrow holders’ information, license, and number.

You can rest assured that your money will be in the hands of a skilled professional. Below is a list of our escrow assistants and experts. You will find specifics about their specializations in the biographies; contact us today to make an appointment.
