What Is Escrow in Real Estate Transactions?

Escrow is a secure, neutral process that holds funds and documents until all conditions of a real estate contract are met. It protects both parties — ensuring the buyer’s earnest money and the seller’s deed are handled safely. The escrow officer or company oversees the process, collecting funds, verifying signatures, and distributing final payments once everything clears. It’s the bridge that ensures everyone gets what they’re promised, right before the sale closes.
