escrow fees
Third-party holding costs
Escrow fees are charges paid to a neutral third party who holds funds or documents during a transaction until all conditions are met.
In real estate, the escrow agent manages the closing process—holding the buyer's deposit, coordinating paperwork, and disbursing funds when the sale completes.
The escrow fees added another $1,500 to our closing costs.
These fees cover the administrative work of ensuring both parties fulfill their obligations before money changes hands.
