- Frequently Asked Questions

An escrow is a financial arrangement where a third party holds and manages funds or assets on behalf of two parties involved in a transaction. Learn More

Money, property, a deed, or a bond put into the custody of a third party for delivery to a grantee only after the fulfillment of the conditions specified.

The principals to the escrow, or agents, will provide the escrow officer with a copy of the purchase contract, deposit and any necessary information for the escrow officer to prepare escrow instructions or supplemental escrow instructions. These instructions reiterate the specific requirements that have been agreed upon in order to close. Upon review and execution by both buyer and seller, the escrow holder will proceed in accordance with the escrow instructions. When all conditions of the escrow are met, the escrow holder will then have all necessary documents recorded and close the escrow. As escrow is a neutral third party, the escrow holder can only operate on written instructions. Therefore, it is important to be concise in instructing the agent and/or escrow holder.

We used Escrow Leaders due to the buyer’s contingency. Wow! Unbelievable that we were taken care of so well. I can only speak about our escrow officer Kelly Borzoni and this is what I have to say about her: fast, accurate, efficient. Because of Kelly I feel we received 5 star treatment. She is so good that we completed our tasks in 10 days of the 30 day escrow; the rest of the time we were waiting for the buyer and the closing date. If you want to be taken care of like we were ask for Kelly as your escrow representative.

As a Lender, Realtor and former signing agent (Notary), i have worked with many Escrow companies in my career. When it came time to selling my own property and purchasing a new one for myself, I chose none other than Kelly Borzoni of Escrow Leaders, as in my experience, she is the best! Incredibly knowledgeable and an expert in her field, went above and beyond in assisting with quick closings on both, helping in many ways above the duties expected from an escrow officer. I would highly recommend anyone in the industry looking for the best, to seek Kelly at escrow leaders, you will not be disappointed!

Recently completed the sale of a Dana Point property and used Escrow Leaders based on the recommendation of our listing real estate agent. Lisa McKeown was the escrow officer assisting us with this transaction. She provided outstanding service. Lisa is an experienced professional who provided excellent and responsive assistance. The closing went smoothly and followed the process and timing as described. Lisa responded to our questions and concerns, in most cases within the hour, providing us with a seamless process and personal attention whenever requested. I would confidently recommend Lisa McKeown at Escrow Lenders to anyone selling a home in Orange County. We have closed 4 transactions over the prior 15 years in Orange County and Escrow Lenders stands out from the pack in providing the highest level of escrow service.

Escrow Leaders in San Juan Capistrano is truly best in class. I’ve worked with dozens of escrow companies in Orange County and none can compare. Their Owner, Val, has even hopped on the phone to help problem solve. Their Hefe, Bob, seems to attract quality talent. Over the past year I’ve been most fortunate to work directly with Kristin Kaylor and Shelby Tate. They are a dream team and provide my employees and clients with 5 star customer service. Kristin ALWAYS responds and operates quicker and more efficiently then anyone I’ve ever worked with. I feel like she truly cares about doing what is best for the customer. If you’re looking for the best Escrow company in Orange County, you’ve found it. Highly recommend!

Valerie Velotta and Escrow Leader’s rock in my opinion. I spent 44 years in Sales Management and closing processes can go sideways for a variety of different reasons. Valerie and her team ensured everything in the closing process went smooth for us despite the fact that our buyer’s original lender never came thru. At the last minute another lender was found for the buyer and the date of close was within a couple of days of the original closing date. Any of my questions by email or phone where always handled professionally and with courtesy. The responses I received in writing or verbally were always spot on and required no additional follow up on my part. The best part was the pricing for the settlement fee, title fee etc… was all very competitive. Great value for the service in my opinion.
