I've never dealt with such an unprofessional company. They knowingly charged for a service that was not delivered. My RE Agent said it was like pulling teeth to get them to deliver throughout the whole long transaction process. Buyer beware! ...read more

Escrow 101

Everyone knows that you have to "go through escrow" when you buy, sell or refinance a house. But do you really know what that means? Do you know what the escrow company does for you? Ambergate Escrow, Inc. prides itself on providing a personable, client friendly atmosphere to assist you through this process. I want to help you understand the process and hopefully answer some questions you may have thought everyone but you knew the answers to!   You have made the decision to buy or sell your home and, let's face it; the process is often confusing and a little overwhelming. You find yourself giving blind trust to your broker, escrow officer, lender and all the other providers of services throughout the transaction, but it doesn't have to be that way! It is the responsibility of each of these service providers to answer any questions you might have in order to help you understand this sometimes complex process you are going through.  You will feel better if you are an educated participant. When a buyer and seller have come to mutually agreeable terms, it is time to open escrow; the process by which ownership of a property is transferred from one party to the other. Very simply, the escrow company facilitates the sale of property by receiving, holding, and transferring funds, deeds, and other legal papers in accordance with agreements made between buyers and sellers. As neutral third parties in property sales, escrow officers help safeguard the interests of both seller and buyer. They review title search and pest inspection reports, insurance policies, and check for liens, unpaid taxes, and other encumbrances. Independent escrow companies, like Ambergate Escrow, are licensed by the California government agency of the  Department of Corporations and don't work for the same company as the real estate agent.   Whether you are the buyer, seller, lender or borrower, you want the assurance that no funds or property will change hands until ALL of the instructions in the transaction have been followed. The escrow holder has the obligation to safeguard the funds and/or documents while they are in the possession of the escrow holder, and to disburse funds and/or convey title only when ALL provisions of the escrow have been complied with.   Each escrow is different and the escrow officer will work to meet all the requirements of your escrow. The escrow officer follows instructions from the buyers' lender to make sure conditions are met to complete the loan. Ambergate Escrow also offers loan signing and notary services. Once the loan is funded and all parties have wired or brought in the money needed to close, the transaction is set up to record. The escrow officer works with the title company to assure that you will have a clear title and good title insurance. When the escrow company receives confirmation from the title company that the new Grant Deed is recorded, your escrow is "closed." ...read more
