What are Escrow & Settlement Services and Why are They Important?
Escrow and settlement services protect all parties in real estate transactions through secure fund holding and neutral third-party coordination, unlike direct fund transfers that leave parties vulnerable to fraud or contract disputes. Escrow and settlement services safeguard against financial losses that could occur during the transaction process.
Hidden settlement problems can include fraudulent wire instructions, unauthorized fund diversions, contract term violations, inspection disputes, or errors in financial calculations. These issues could result in expensive legal battles, financial losses, or even complete transaction failure. Escrow and settlement services provide both secure fund management and professional coordination if covered transaction issues are discovered.
