What You'll Do Here
You are the key to home ownership. As an Escrow Officer, you're the human link between our process and people. You're there at the beginning, reviewing contracts and following instructions. You're there in the middle, ensuring that all the associated paperwork is completed efficiently and accurately. You're working with real estate agents and their clients to keep the process moving forward, verifying that titles are clean, taxes are paid, and loans are funded. Finally, you're there at the end to assure that no funds or property will change hands until all terms have been carried to completion.
