Yes—when you work with a reputable title and escrow company.
Escrow accounts are designed to securely hold funds until all contractual obligations have been completed.
However, real estate wire fraud has become increasingly common.
To help protect our clients, Two Rivers Title Company recommends:
- Never wiring money using emailed instructions alone.
- Always verifying wiring instructions by phone using a trusted number.
- Confirming any last-minute changes directly with your escrow officer.
- Never sending funds to an unverified account.
Protecting your money is one of our highest priorities.
