Agreement on Terms
The process begins with the buyer and seller mutually agreeing on all terms of the transaction. These terms typically include the purchase price, contingencies such as property inspections and financing approvals, and deadlines for completing the deal. Once the details are finalized, both parties sign an agreement to move forward.
Setting Up the Escrow Account
A dedicated escrow account is established with CionEscrow.io acting as the neutral third party. The buyer deposits funds, such as the down payment or earnest money, into this secure account, while the seller provides essential documents, including the property title and disclosures. All funds and documents are held safely until the transaction conditions are met.
Verifying Conditions
CionEscrow.io verifies that all agreed-upon conditions of the transaction are satisfied. This includes arranging property inspections to confirm the home meets required standards, performing a thorough title search to ensure there are no liens or disputes, and verifying that the buyer has secured necessary financing. If any conditions are unmet, our experienced team helps resolve issues promptly.
Closing the Transaction
Once all conditions are fulfilled, the process moves to the closing phase. Both the buyer and seller review and approve all closing documents, ensuring everything aligns with the agreed terms. At this stage, the funds held in escrow are released to the seller, and ownership of the property is officially transferred to the buyer.
Completing the Deal
The escrow process concludes with the buyer taking ownership of the property and the seller receiving the agreed payment in full. CionEscrow.io ensures that every step is completed securely, transparently, and in full compliance with California real estate laws.

FAQs
What is escrow in real estate?
Escrow in real estate is a process where a neutral third party, called an escrow agent, holds funds and important documents until all conditions of the sale are met. This ensures that both the buyer and seller are protected throughout the transaction.
Why do I need escrow for my real estate transaction?
Escrow protects both the buyer and seller by ensuring that neither party can access the funds or property until all the terms of the agreement are fulfilled. It helps prevent fraud, ensures the property title is clear, and keeps the transaction on track.
How does the escrow process work in real estate?
The escrow process begins once both the buyer and seller agree to the terms of the transaction. The buyer deposits funds into an escrow account, and the seller provides necessary documents. The escrow agent verifies conditions (e.g., home inspections, financing approval) before finalizing the deal. Once all conditions are met, the funds are released to the seller, and the property title is transferred to the buyer.
How long does the escrow process take in real estate?
The escrow process typically takes 30 to 60 days, depending on the complexity of the transaction. Factors like financing approval, inspections, and title checks can affect the timeline. At CionEscrow.io, we work efficiently to ensure your transaction is completed smoothly and on time.
How much does escrow cost in a real estate transaction?
The cost of escrow services varies depending on the value of the transaction and the complexity of the deal. Generally, the fees are split between the buyer and seller, and they are a small percentage of the sale price. CionEscrow.io offers competitive rates and transparent pricing to ensure there are no hidden fees.
