When Can a Seller Object to the Buyer’s Escrow Company?

The Seller’s opportunity to object to the escrow company the buyer wishes to use is at the time they receive the offer. If the seller prefers a different company, they should include the company they wish to use in OREF 003 – Seller’s Counteroffer. Failure to do so means the company identified in the Escrow section of the Sale Agreement is binding upon the parties, and that is where the seller should open escrow.

All comments and responses from OREF or its staff, managers, and volunteers are non-legal opinions made for general purposes. Each Forms subscriber must rely solely upon their Principal broker or personal legal counsel for specific advice and instruction. You and your client should independently confirm that the Form(s) you use are legally suitable for the purposes intended and that they are current with respect to all laws and regulations.
