What is an Escrow Company?

An escrow company acts as a neutral third party in a variety of transactions, ranging from real estate deals to online purchases. Its main purpose is to safely hold assets, papers, money, or property until all parties involved have complied with certain requirements. This ensures that the transaction is carried out smoothly, without any party being left vulnerable to potential risks or uncertainties.

The Escrow Process Explained

When engaging with an escrow company like First Pacific Escrow, Inc., the process typically unfolds as follows:

1. Mutual Agreement: The parties involved in the transaction agree to the terms and conditions, including the use of an escrow service. This initial step lays the foundation for a transparent and well-structured transaction.

2. Opening Escrow: The involved parties deposit the agreed-upon funds, assets, or documents with the escrow company. This step establishes a secure holding ground until all conditions specified in the agreement are met.

3. Verification and Due Diligence: Escrow companies often conduct thorough verification and due diligence to ensure that all documentation and requirements are met. This step safeguards against fraud and misrepresentation.

4. Condition Fulfillment: Once all conditions are met, as stipulated in the agreement, the escrow company releases the held funds, assets, or documents to the respective parties. This action signifies the successful completion of the transaction.

5. Closing Escrow: The escrow process concludes with the formal closing, signifying the end of the neutral party’s involvement. This ensures a transparent and accountable closure of the transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is an escrow account?

    An escrow account is a financial arrangement where a neutral third party holds and manages funds or assets on behalf of two parties involved in a transaction. This is often used in real estate transactions, where the buyer deposits money into an escrow account that the seller can’t access until certain conditions (such as completing necessary inspections or repairs) are met. The escrow account ensures that both parties fulfill their obligations before the transaction is finalized.

  • Why is an escrow account used?

    Escrow accounts are used to provide a level of security and transparency in various transactions. They help prevent fraud and protect both parties’ interests. By holding funds or assets in escrow, the risk of non-payment or non-delivery is reduced. This is especially important in large transactions, where both parties want assurance that the other will fulfill their part of the agreement before any money or assets change hands.



  • How does an escrow account work?

    In a typical escrow arrangement, the parties agree on the terms and conditions of the transaction. They then choose a neutral third party, often an escrow agent or company, to hold the funds or assets. The escrow agent ensures that all terms and conditions are met before releasing the funds or assets to the appropriate party. This might involve verifying documents, inspections, or other criteria specified in the agreement.

  • What types of transactions use escrow accounts?

    At First Pacific Escrow, Inc., escrow accounts are commonly used in real estate transactions, where a buyer’s deposit is held in escrow until closing conditions are met.

  • Who pays for the escrow account?

    The responsibility for paying for the escrow account varies depending on the transaction and the parties involved. In real estate transactions, for example, the buyer might be responsible for covering the costs associated with opening and maintaining the escrow account. However, these costs can be negotiable and might be included as part of the overall closing costs. In other transactions, the parties might agree to split the costs or designate one party to cover them. The specifics are typically outlined in the agreement between the parties.

I have worked with Debbie and Ashley since the very beginning. In all the transactions I have been a part of, Debbie and Ashley are hands down the best of the best. Their attention to detail, immediate responsiveness, and thinking outside of the box has saved several deals from going south. We sold over $2B last year and it wouldn't be without them streamlining our escrows. Debbie and Ashley are a powerhouse duo, I could not advocate for them enough.

My team and I have been using Debbie and Ashley for years for escrow. After being in the business for nearly two decades, it is comforting to work with such professionals. Professionals who understand the business, client needs and how to work through challenges during an escrow. In addition to their excellent customer service their team also goes over and above to check off all the boxes each file requires. Their combined experience certainly shines from the beginning of escrow until the end and even post escrow. Highly recommend not only trying Debbie, Ashley and Team but switching to using them exclusively.

Ashley truly went above and beyond for my clients. Our sale was extremely complicated due to the property being in foreclosure but Ashley and her team met every challenge that came up. I can truly say that we were only able to close this transaction due to her extreme diligence and persistence. Not all escrow companies are the same and who you work with matters, if you want to make sure your deal will close then I highly recommend Ashley and her team.
