Beware of closing companies who claim that they can receive and hold funds in their Escrow Account because one of their members is an American Realtor and therefore the money will be deposited into their trust account and held until the closing. They claim your funds will be protected by the realtor’s board of which they are a member. This claim is not accurate.
The realtor’s board in each US State will only permit funds to be deposited in Trust for transactions taking place in the State of which the realtor is an active member – representing the buyer of the seller.
