Here’s Some Information You Might Need

We’ve scoured the internet and compiled a list of reference materials we believe would be useful for our agents. Why? Because we like to streamline escrow and make it as simple as possible whenever we can. If you have an open escrow with us and cannot find an answer to a question you have about the escrow process, contact us and we’ll gladly help you out!

It’s Time To Do Escrow the Smart Way

Agents, we’ve heard it all before. You have problems or questions and can’t reach your escrow officer. You’re tired of navigating the labyrinth of automated phone devices at your usual escrow company, tired of playing phone tag or tired of not receiving a call back at all! Worse still, not only has your escrow company not mastered the cutting edge technology that is the telephone, but many seem to have never heard of the internet.

Don’t worry, we understand.

Problems like these are why we started Lighthouse Escrow. We’re setting ourselves apart from other escrow companies - here’s what makes us distinct:

Service & Innovation

We take care to ensure you stay informed, your finances secured, and your documents handled properly and promptly from beginning to end. We’re changing expectations. For example, you can expect to call and speak directly with knowledgeable, experienced escrow officers not secretaries and automated phone directories. We use the latest technology, from GreenFolders to our content rich website, to simplify the escrow process and keep you informed.
