Hiring an expert Escrow Agent to protect the Buyer against such liabilities, can avoid significant exposure to liability following the bulk sale of assets. In addition to accepting creditor claims as required in a small cash sale of assets, tax liabilities are also typically handled through an escrow agent in any bulk sale of assets.

At Secured Trust Escrow, your Escrow Officer will carefully handle your business transaction and ensure that all escrow agreement conditions are met by both the Seller and the Buyer.

On refinance transactions, Secured Trust Escrow officers provide tailored service to lenders and borrowers. Refinance escrows involve using the proceeds of a new loan to pay off an existing loan. Many homeowners refinance to shorten the term of their mortgage or to reduce monthly costs due to lower interest rates.

The parties involved in a refinance are the bank and the homeowner. Escrow ensures that the bank pays off the original loan and that the homeowner pays closing costs, both of which are required to close escrow. It is critical to understand the escrow process when refinancing your home. Due to the complexities of real estate transactions, escrow agents are hired to assist lenders in tracking and disbursing funds in accordance with the agreements reached.

A probate sale escrow requires knowledge of the California probate rules and regulations as they apply to the sale of probate property. A probate sale occurs when the property owner dies and the sale is conducted by the Administrator or Executor with full or limited authority.

A title may be bestowed in a way that the heirs do not expect. We provide exceptional probate sale escrow services to our clients at Secured Trust Escrow, and our experience and dedication to the transaction will be evident throughout the entire process.

Secured Trust Escrow handles every aspect of the REO transaction by providing full service and management as a neutral third-party to close the REO transaction within the guidelines outlined in the contract while also acting as the depository of funds and escrow agent. The basic REO process, like any other real estate transaction, begins with mutual acceptance of the Purchase Agreement.

Buyers must keep in mind that they are not in escrow with a homeowner, as the seller is a bank or lender, and the financial institution follows strict procedures throughout the process. The typical timeline of a standard escrow does not apply in a REO environment because the seller is a corporate institution with a large volume of properties. To ensure that REO escrow transactions are closed as quickly as possible, the officers at Secured Trust Escrow manage and resolve any problems before they become a delay, and they monitor the transaction’s performance on a daily basis.
