Pickford Escrow and Your Encinitas Real Estate

What is an Escrow?

When purchasing or selling Encinitas real estate you will need the services of a neutral intermediary, Pickford Escrow Company. Established in 1992, Pickford Escrow’s mission is to guarantee Gary Harmon’s Encinitas real estate clients the highest level of service.

Escrow is a service for all parties involved in the Encinitas real estate transaction that helps protect the handling of the funds and the Encinitas real estate related documents. Escrow, by being a neutral party, helps the buyer and seller transact business while minimizing their risk. When selling Encinitas real estate all parties give their written instructions and funds to Pickford Escrow. Escrow makes sure no funds or Encinitas property changes hands until all the written instructions agreeded upon by the buyer and seller have been carried out to completion.

What Happens at Closing?

When the Encinitas real estate escrow instructions have all been carried out, the close of escrow can take place. All outstanding funds are collected and all cost must be paid out. The title to the Encinitas property will then be transferred. This involves the use of a title company like California Title Company. After the close of escrow, all specified documents are recorded at the San Diego County Recorders office.
