Closing the Sale in Tucumcari, New Mexico
The escrow agent makes sure that the terms and conditions of the agreement between the sellers and the buyers are reached in preparation of the sale being finished.
The records the escrow holder may secure include:
- Title insurance policies
- Terms of sale and any seller-assisted financing
- Requests for payment for various services to be paid out of escrow funds
- Loan documents
- Tax statements
- Fire and other insurance policies
Upon finishing of all portions of the escrow, closing can take place. All expenses like title insurance, inspections and real estate commissions are paid. You'll then obtain the title to the property and the title insurance gets dispersed as agreed upon in the escrow instructions.
The escrow company receives a payment at the completion of closing. I'll keep you updated on the next steps.

- Write escrow guidelines
- Petition title inquiry
- Comply with the bank's standards as noted in the escrow agreement

- Record deeds and other documents as instructed
- Obtain title insurance policy
- Close escrow when all terms of agreement of seller and buyer have been finished
- Disburse funds and finalize instructions

Mortgage Escrow Account
Creating a Mortgage Escrow Account helps keep track of on-going expenses while there's a loan on your house. Escrow Accounts are contributed to monthly by the home buyer (who is now the homeowner), but there is also a lump sum that goes into the account at closing.
This is a quick run-down of the escrow process. Your individual methods might vary depending on your bank and your escrow agent.
