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. requests a beneficiary's statement if debt or obligation is to be taken over by the buyer. complies with lender's requirements, specified in the escrow agreement.
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.
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.
Another potential downside to escrow accounts lies in the risk of mishandling or mismanagement. In some cases, errors or discrepancies in managing escrow funds can lead to a shortage of funds when it's time to settle property taxes or insurance premiums.
