What is the role of an escrow agent in a real estate transaction?
An escrow agent, often a neutral third party, plays a crucial role in a real estate transaction. They hold funds and important documents in escrow until all the terms and conditions of the sale are met. The escrow agent ensures a smooth and secure transfer of funds and documents between the buyer, seller, and other involved parties. They coordinate with lenders, attorneys, and other stakeholders to facilitate the closing process.
What happens during the closing process?
The closing process is the final step in a real estate transaction where ownership of the property is transferred from the seller to the buyer. It typically involves the following:
•Reviewing and signing the closing documents, including the deed, loan documents, and other necessary paperwork.
•Ensuring all financial obligations, such as closing costs and fees, are paid.
•Verifying that the title is clear and transferring ownership from the seller to the buyer.
•Distributing funds to the appropriate parties, such as paying off the seller's mortgage and disbursing proceeds to the seller.
•Recording the transaction with the relevant authorities to update public records.
•Handing over the keys to the buyer, officially completing the sale.
