What is an Escrow Service?

An escrow is a financial agreement designed to protect Buyers and Sellers. An independent third party holds payment until all parties fulfill their responsibilities.

The 5-Step Process

  2. Buyer Pays Escrow - Funds are held securely
  3. Seller Delivers - Goods or services are provided
  4. Buyer Inspects - Review and approve
  5. Funds Released - Payment goes to seller
