Escrow Services in Detroit: what to expect
Escrow services in Detroit mean a neutral title company holds money or documents until the conditions of a deal are met. That includes earnest money deposits, closing funds, repair or occupancy holdbacks, and funds for land contract or private sales in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties.
Written escrow instructions spell out who deposited what, when it is released and what happens if the deal falls apart. Title agencies keep escrow funds in separate accounts, and DIFS has issued guidance on title agency escrow accounts.
Wire fraud is the biggest risk. Criminals send fake wiring instructions that look like they come from the title company. Compare closing services and Metro Detroit title companies. Rebuild Detroit is not a title agency or law firm, and this is general information, not legal advice.

Licensing and records in Michigan
In Michigan, title insurers and title insurance agents are regulated by the Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS), which licenses title producers and agencies. Search the agent, agency or underwriter in the DIFS locator before you send money.
