WE ARE FULL SERVICE

Whatever you need, we will lead the way to a closed escrow.

REO Transactions
We utilize REOTrans, Closing Tracker, Excel Spreadsheets and any other means of communication and performance enhancing programs that our clients prefer. We are proactive and work towards early closings at all times. Should an urgent situation arise, we will see it through.

Residential Purchases
We have all bought our own homes. We know the stress that can be felt by all parties to a transaction. We do everything we can to allay fears and anxiety by being there when you need us with understanding, knowledge, experience, and care.

Commercial Purchases
Precision and experience best describes the assets we call upon when handling a commercial transaction. Whether your transaction is a shopping center, office building, or an apartment building, our knowledge and experience will shine through.

Short Sales and Foreclosures
Patience and understanding are the keys. We know that most short sales are “long” sales. We also know that once we have bank approval that time is of the essence. We have closed hundreds of short sales and we can close yours, too. Multiple revisions to the HUD 1 is “no problem” with the software program and systems we have in place.

Refinances and Loans
Because even the simplest of transactions can go awry and take longer than they should, we take great care and effort in ensuring the smoothest transaction possible.

1031 Exchange
Experience and knowledge are so valuable. We are here to close your escrow and coordinate a successful exchange in the eyes of the IRS.

WE ARE FINANCIALLY SECURE

In these turbulent times, we feel it is important for you to know that we at Escrow Leaders are excellent financial stewards, and your clients can open escrow with confidence. Escrow Leaders is a financially sound company built to capitalize on a tough market, not just to survive it. As an independent escrow company regulated by the DOC (license # 963-2447), we must meet or exceed liquidity requirements. Additionally, we are independently audited for business practice, and bonded by the Escrow Agents Fidelity Corporation for $4,000,000.00. We also maintain Errors and Omissions insurance for our protection and the protection of our clients. Our very low premium is a testament to our business practice and the fact that we have never experienced a loss. Our trust account is held by Union Bank of California. UBOC is a strong financial institution that was not hit by the subprime debacle. We utilize positive pay and regularly reconcile our trust account to further prevent any opportunities of fraud.

WE CARE

Have you ever been frustrated and just wanted to speak to an owner or manager of a business? You knew that if you could just speak to someone who cared that the issue could be resolved. We hire people that care; we reward people who show care, and we want you to experience peace of mind throughout your escrow. But, should something ever fall short of your expectation you can always speak to the owners. We are here to ensure your peace of mind. We hope to see you in escrow very soon.
