Step 13: Escrow & Initial Paperwork
Escrow is open, timelines are ticking, and we’re walking you through every signature, schedule, and next move.
What Escrow Handles vs. What We Handle
There’s a Team Behind the Scenes — and You’re Still in Control

We coordinate with your escrow officer, title company, and the buyer’s team to make sure every box gets checked on time.
Paperwork You’ll See Early
We’ll Flag What’s Important — And Walk You Through It

In the first few days, you’ll receive a mix of legal forms, disclosures, and signing requests. Don’t stress — we’ve got it pre-highlighted.
✔️ Preliminary title report
✔️ Wire instructions (with fraud warning reminder)
✔️ Disclosures + HOA docs (if applicable)
✔️ Escrow instructions and timelines
Escrow May Be New — But It Doesn’t Have to Be Confusing
We’re with you for every signature, every update, and every important deadline.
