Most of the people in the US employ escrow companies to close the transaction, yet not many have a thorough knowledge of the field. The majority of the people go through this process only a few times and mostly trust the real estate brokers’ recommendation to let them choose which company does the escrow. It should be your choice because you will trust them to guard your money and property. Moreover, they need to make sure all instructions mentioned in the escrow deed are correctly executed.
