In California, the buyer may choose the escrow company.
The Escrow Holder: prepares escrow instructions. requests a preliminary title search to determine the present condition of title to the property.
Escrow is generally considered good because it protects the buyer and seller in a transaction.
Escrow verifies all payments. Once we confirm the funds are good, we will inform you that it's safe to deliver. As the Seller, you're also protected from any unexpected chargebacks, thereby ensuring that you won't fall prey to a scam.
It is typically very hard for a seller to cancel escrow without any valid reason for doing so. A change of mind is not acceptable.
