Residential Related FAQ’s

What is escrow, and how does it work?2025-10-30T00:56:40+00:00

Escrow means we hold funds (such as your earnest money) in a secure account until all contract conditions are met. At closing, we disburse funds to the seller, lenders, and other parties. We are licensed, insured, bonded and have decades of experience to ensure the utmost professionalism and security of your funds. We also invest in the most advanced technology to further protect your personal data.

What documents do I need to provide?2025-10-30T00:59:02+00:00

Buyers: government-issued ID and any lender-required documents.

Sellers: government-issued ID and wire instructions for sending net proceeds.

What is a deed of trust, and how is it different from a mortgage?2026-05-28T01:47:24+00:00

Both are legal instruments that secure your home loan. Maryland, DC, and Virginia all use deeds of trust rather than mortgages. The practical difference: a deed of trust involves three parties (borrower, lender, and trustee), which can make foreclosure slightly faster if you default. For most buyers, the day-to-day experience is identical — you make monthly payments and own the home subject to the loan.

How far in advance should I wire my closing funds2026-05-28T01:45:16+00:00

We recommend wiring your cash-to-close at least 24 hours before your scheduled settlement time. Always call our office to verbally verify wire instructions before sending — never rely solely on emailed wire instructions, as wire fraud is a real risk. Once funds are verified received, we’ll confirm you’re clear to close.

Who pays for title insurance?2025-10-30T00:56:32+00:00

Customs vary by jurisdiction. Typically, the buyer pays for both the lender and owner’s policy. The owner’s policy and settlement fees may be split or negotiated in the contract.
