Who does an escrow agent work for? Escrow agents may work for a title insurance company or real estate attorney, as an affiliate of a lender or as an independent escrow company. However, they don't work for the buyer or seller and must remain neutral in any real estate transaction.
To put it in simple terms, the seller will be responsible for the property tax balance that accrued from the beginning of the tax year until the date of closing, and the buyer will be responsible for property taxes that are due for the period after the closing date. This is a process called proration.
Texas requires buyers and sellers to use an escrow service during a property transaction in the state.
Escrow works by having a designated party hold funds and distribute those funds to the appropriate party or parties at the time determined by the governing contract.
In a Texas real estate transaction, an escrow account is typically set up by a neutral third party, such as a title company, to hold funds and documents related to the sale until all conditions of the agreement have been met.
