More on Mr. Cooper Escrow
No matter whether you're a home seller or buyer, you'll hear the word escrow quite a bit throughout your homeownership journey. Escrow is when a third-party holds on to something of value, typically money, in a certain account until a transaction between a seller and buyer is finalized. Escrow accounts are used for many types of transactions, but we shine the spotlight on how it applies to the world of real estate. If you're the one buying the home, you typically put a percentage of the property price in the escrow account. As the home seller, you agree to remove the home from the market during the escrow period so it can be inspected.
Once you become a homeowner, escrow carries a different meaning. Your escrow account holds money that your mortgage servicer sets aside to pay your insurance premiums and property taxes. The account makes it so that you don't have to worry about keeping track of or saving for those expenses. Contact a mortgage professional today to chat about your former Nationstar escrow account or current Mr. Cooper escrow account. We're your partner in the homeownership journey, whether you're selling, buying, or settling in. Let's get you home.
