Our Services
-
Our residential real estate escrow service provides a structured and secure method to manage the transfer of property, ensuring that all conditions are met before the sale is finalized.

Escrow in commercial real estate transactions functions similarly to residential real estate escrow but often involves more complex conditions and larger sums of money. The escrow process ensures that all terms of the sale agreement are met before the transaction is completed.
-
At Westlake Escrow, we specialize in providing comprehensive escrow services for mobile home transactions, a niche area where few providers operate. Our expertise ensures a smooth and secure transaction process, safeguarding the interests of both buyers and sellers.
-
We offer specialized escrow services for short sales, a complex real estate transaction where the sale price is less than the balance owed on the seller's mortgage. Our expertise ensures that these transactions are handled smoothly and securely, benefiting both sellers and buyers.

Our refinance escrow service is one of the most common and highly trusted solutions we offer. Our expertise ensures a seamless process for homeowners refinancing their mortgages, whether to secure better loan terms, reduce interest rates, or access home equity.

We offer specialized escrow services for 1031 exchanges, allowing investors to defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting proceeds from a sold property into a like-kind property. Our expertise ensures compliance with IRS regulations and a smooth transaction process.

At Westlake Escrow, we provide specialized escrow services tailored to For Sale By Owner (FSBO) transactions, ensuring a smooth and secure sale process for homeowners selling their property without a real estate agent. Our comprehensive services guide both sellers and buyers through every step, providing peace of mind and ensuring compliance with all legal requirements.
-
We specialize in providing comprehensive escrow services for Real Estate Owned (REO) properties. These properties, owned by lenders or banks after an unsuccessful foreclosure auction, require specialized handling to ensure a smooth and secure transaction.
