Its Your Money, Your Choices
Congratulations on your choice of buying, selling, or refinancing what will probably be your biggest single investment: your home. There is a lot to do, a lot of different people you will need to work with, and a pretty major investment on your part. You will be paying for some services that are vital to your transaction, and in the grand scheme of things, you might not be aware that YOU HAVE CHOICES.
Many times, you might ask your mortgage broker, banker, or Real Estate Agent for help in deciding which providers you might use for title, appraisal, flood certification, home inspection, or escrow. Or, you might have decided to spend some time discovering providers of these neccessary services yourself, basing your decisions on price, or overall cost. That is always wise as different real estate service provider fees can vary greatly....but lets discuss escrow specifically.
The State of Washington requires you to go through an "escrow" before the real estate transaction can be completed. We trust you have already read through the "WHAT IS ESCROW" section of this website, and that you understand how very important it is to obtain the safest, most professional, accurate, and service oriented escrow provider possible. This is where EVERYTHING happens! One thing you might not know is that you have choices on escrow providers, even though you might be steered into using a title company for both title and escrow. Remembering that this is always your choice, here are some very important reasons to demand your agent or broker uses SHANNON ESCROW, INC. for your service provider:
Service: Because we are independant means we can work with any title company in the state. Title Company choice is also yours to make, and they are not all the same. Their pricing may vary by hundreds of dollars, and their service varies greatly. When demanding SHANNON ESCROW, INC. , you will be working with the best escrow provider in the state while selecting the title company YOU WANT and not the ones you might have been led to.
Value: Take a look at our fees, and compare them with the others. You will see a price on other escrow providers websites, and then a lot of real fine print below. This is called "accessory pricing" where you will see what appears to be a fee for escrow that might appear reasonable, then, just as if you were buying a used car, they add fees to the fees. YOU WILL NEVER SEE THIS WITH US. Some added fees you will see on almost every title company escrow fee sheet will be for wire or courier, or tie in, or edoc, and maybe fees for things you have never heard of. It is not fair to you, the consumer, and we will never insult you with added fees....EVER!
Added Value: We provide complimentary items as an integral part of your escrow service. WE ARE THE ONLY ESCROW COMPANY THAT OFFERS ADDITIONAL FREE SERVICES as part of our daily committment to providing the very best to you. We, ourselves are consumers, and recognize that professional, trouble free service, is only complimented by the things we can add to the superior service we provide. Why do we do it? We believe in making customers for life, and that if you are happy with us, you will tell others. It is just good business. Yes, we profit less, but in the long term, we can count on your ability to refer family and friends, which makes us all a little better off.
Security: Your personal details are in our hands. They are safe. We take a great deal of pride in the fact that in the 26 years we have been in business, we have a 100% security and audit record. We have NEVER had any data comprimise, theft, or loss of records, and have never had less than a 100% security audit. In your search for escrow providers, this is another question you should ask of your agents and escrow companies. In this industry, there have been security breaches by the "bigger multifaceted" companies who put your safety and security low on their list. Ask the questions, and be very concerned if the title or escrow company you are considering cannot give you detailed reports on how their security is handled, and their record of security. We can asnwer that question easily, as your safety and security are number one even before the incredible service we provide.
It is your money....your choice, and you do not have to be pushed around the "little circle" of choices made by others. You do not have to work with a "business affiliate" because you are steered that direction. Many times you will find these affiliated businesses do very well with your title, or appraisals, but when it comes to escrow, they have only 5 years, or less in that part of the business. Ask them the tough questions, and expect direct answers. We believe the serious nature of what we do cannot be learned in 5 years......remember, we have done escrow...ONLY ESCROW for over 26 years. We are excellent at what we do. Demand SHANNON ESCROW, INC. for your next transaction. YOU HAVE A CHOICE.
