Claremont Escrow is located on Indian Hill Boulevard between Scripps Drive and Foothill Boulevard adjacent to the Claremont Golf Course. This full-service escrow company provides homeowners with professional services administered by local seasoned officers. Owner Raul Cruz leads his team of escrow officers once the buyer and seller sign a sales contract, or real estate purchase agreement, and a deposit is received. The contract along with any additional instructions, serve as the official instructions for Cruz's team to proceed forward. This process of escrow assures that the lender releases the home purchase of funds at or about the same time that the deed is recorded to reflect new ownership of the real property. Escrow also includes depositing, with a neutral third-party, funds, documents and instructions necessary to complete the transfer. Because the real estate transaction involves large sums of money and reams of documentation, escrow is not always a predestined, step-by-step process. The team at Claremont Escrow helps buyer and seller navigate this process.
