Many people have questions about escrow and its role in commercial real estate transactions. In this article, we are going to talk about the role of escrow in a commercial real estate transaction.

What is Escrow?

First of all, let’s briefly define the term escrow. Simply put, escrow is an agreement between multiple parties that allows a neutral third-party to hold and/or distribute assets on a schedule set out in the escrow agreement.

Escrow in Commercial Transactions

Escrow is used in many (if not most) commercial real estate transactions, as it provides a safe and smooth method for managing assets throughout the process. It keeps all parties involved in a transaction accountable to their end of the agreement and can help avoid costly disputes and legal issues.

Escrow is often handled by a title company. When you’re beginning a new commercial transaction, make sure you partner with a title company that provides all the services you need (escrow, title underwriting, construction disbursement, etc.) so you can rest easy knowing you have all your bases covered.
