FAQ
In California, the buyer may choose the escrow company.
Escrow is generally considered good because it protects the buyer and seller in a transaction.
The escrow agent must act on behalf of the best interests of both parties: the buyer and the seller. A closing agent is another neutral third-party that manages the entire process of homebuying on your behalf.
The closing agent works for you, so don't hesitate to ask questions along the way. The closing agent is an impartial party to the transaction and is there to provide information and facilitate the transfer of the property from the seller to buyer.
While the buyer or the buyer's real estate agent usually chooses the closing or escrow company, the seller can agree to the buyer's selection or counter with another choice. Although the seller generally agrees with the buyer's suggestion, the selection of the company is negotiable.
Who Does The Escrow Agent Work For? Escrow agents act as neutral third parties in these types of transactions. They serve the escrow agreement, and as such, they don't work for either the buyer or the seller.
The buyer in the real estate sales transaction generally makes the selection of the escrow holder/agent and the title insurance company intending to issue the title insurance coverage. A real estate broker should consult the escrow holder/agent before informing the principals that escrow will close on a certain date.
If you back out without cause, the buyer can bring legal action for breach of contract. That means you could be facing a lawsuit where the buyer seeks compensation. Depending on the buyer, the lawsuit may seek financial compensation or even specific performance, forcing you to sell your home.
It's crucial to understand that a mere change of mind isn't a valid reason for a seller to cancel escrow. Real estate contracts are legally binding agreements, and both parties are expected to fulfill their obligations as outlined in the contract.
Notify The Buyer If you have a legal reason for doing so, notify the buyer of the specific parts of the contract that give you the right to cancel the transaction. If you don't have a contractual reason to cancel the sale, it's worth asking the buyer if they're willing to cancel the transaction by mutual agreement.
