What is Escrow?
Once your offer on a Beacon Hill condo or other real property has been accepted by the seller, your transaction is then placed into “escrow.”
The purpose of escrow is to facilitate the transaction by managing the disbursement of funds and documents.
Key Players in the Escrow Process
Your escrow officer will play a key role in the process, but homebuyers, sellers, lenders and real estate professionals are also integral throughout the process.
