Escrow Lawyer in Kent, Washington
Escrow is a way for you as a buyer or seller to protect yourself and your investment from financial harm during the process of a large-scale transaction.
Escrow is involved in transactions such as the sale of a home, a short sale or the purchase of a business. It can be considered as the neutral and safe holding place for your money until all details related to closing a sale are finalized to all involved parties' satisfaction. Upon satisfaction of all conditions, the closing takes place, at which time the buyer receives clear title to the property and the seller receives the sale proceeds.
