Neutral 3rd party company acting on behalf of buyer and seller to collect all required items for review and final approval.&nbsp; Our contracts usually are 8-10 pages long and spell out the terms of the sale to escrow. They then collect the&nbsp;funds, the payoffs, order the needed items, notarize the final documents, and cause to record the final liens or deeds.Hope this helps!

Are you asking how the escrow company is involved or what is the process that buyers and sellers go through during a transaction?<br/><br/></p> Thu, 05 Feb 2009 21:29:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Can-Someone-Explain-The-Escrow-Process-In-California/195781/ 2009-02-05T21:29:00Z http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Can-Someone-Explain-The-Escrow-Process-In-California/195781/ I was trying to answer it myself but you were too quick..
