FAQ
In California, there are two forms of escrow instructions generally employed: bilateral (i.e., executed by and binding on both buyer and seller) and unilateral (i.e., separate instructions executed by the buyer and seller, binding on each).
Review Contract ClausesThe seller might have a clause hidden deep in the contract that allows him to cancel the escrow without penalties for any reason he wishes to do so. Look for that carefully when going over the contract or you could get caught up in a mess down the road.
Pursuant to the RPA-CA, the seller must first deliver a written Demand to Close Escrow (DCE) notification prior to the cancellation. Once the DCE expires (like the expiration of the NBP), the purchase agreement is not automatically canceled.
The escrow process typically takes 30-60 days to complete. The timeline can vary depending on the agreement of the buyer and seller, who the escrow provider is, and more. Ideally, however, the escrow process should not take more than 30 days.
Yes if the closing date is missed, the seller can cancel at will. However, there are many things to consider before deciding to end the deal. If there are no other interested parties, the seller may be more willing to grant an extension.
You must withdraw from escrow in writing. In California, buyers must usually provide written notice to the seller before canceling via a Notice to Seller to Perform. The written cancellation of contract and escrow that follows must then be signed by the seller to officially withdraw from escrow.
If your buyer is delaying the closing, have your real estate agent draft a Demand to Close Escrow. The document gives the buyers a minimum of three days to get their ducks in a row and close the deal.
When home buyers fail to close on time, whether their deposits are forfeited or not depends on the circumstances and on the purchase contracts. In California, real estate purchase contracts also note that failing to close escrow on time may constitute a breach of contract.
The seller can either agree to give you more time to sell your house, or decline and cancel escrow. A more common contingent scenario that causes sellers to back out is when the deal depends on the seller finding a new place to purchase.
The period that you are "in escrow" is often 30 days, but may be longer or shorter. During this time, each item specified in the contract must be completed satisfactorily.
