FOR SALE BY OWNER
For Sale by Owner (FSBO) Escrow Services
For some homeowners, choosing to do a For Sale By Owner (FSBO) sale of their home is a smart choice. Of course, while the financial savings may be significant, a FSBO is also more complicated and time-consuming than most people assume. One of the most important aspects of any FSBO home is ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal real estate regulations. This may be a very tall order for sellers with no experience or understanding of the complex laws involved.
For Sale by Owner (FSBO) Escrow Services
Opting for a For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) approach can be a financially savvy decision for some homeowners. However, it can also be more complex and time-consuming than one might believe. One key aspect of any FSBO sale is compliance with local, state, and federal real estate laws—a tall order for those unfamiliar with the legal landscape.
An escrow account in an FSBO transaction offers both convenience and protection for buyers and sellers alike. New Era Escrow acts as a neutral party, safeguarding all funds and documents until contractual conditions are fulfilled. At that point, the escrow closes, and the documents and funds are exchanged.
