Do I need to do anything during escrow?- During escrow, your settlement officer will be busy managing money and documents, paying bills, responding to requests, and preparing to close escrow. Though you will not be managing these details yourself, there are things you can do to keep the process moving forward.
- Begin by contacting your closing agent at the start of escrow. (The listing and selling agents provide the contact information.) Ask if there are ways you can help expedite the process. Also, plan to respond quickly to any questions or requests from your escrow officer.
- If you need to deposit funds into the escrow account, ask about the quickest way to make the deposit. Often, personal checks take longer to process.
