FIRST: The first step is to print, complete, and sign, an Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agreement is very important because it regulates the relationship and defines the terms and conditions of the escrow services that are provided, plus it is required by the bank to clear the funds. The Escrow Agreement can be downloaded at the following link;
