Do You Think Escrow Represents You? Ask These 5 Questions to Find Out

Many FSBO sellers mistakenly believe that escrow will handle their contracts, negotiations, and transaction issues. The reality? Escrow is legally required to remain neutral.

To clear up any misconceptions, ask your escrow officer these 5 questions:

❓ Do you review offers with me?

❌ No. Escrow does not provide offer reviews or contract guidance.

❓ Can you advise on what to counteroffer?

❌ No. Escrow cannot provide negotiation advice or strategy.

❓ Do you work with the buyer’s agent on my behalf?

❌ No. The buyer’s agent represents the buyer—not you.

❓ Do you help me submit time-sensitive documents?

❌ No. Missed deadlines can cost you money, and escrow won’t track them for you.

❓ Do you negotiate repair requests, appraisal issues, or buyer credits?

❌ No. Without representation, buyers can pressure you into unnecessary concessions.

When sellers don’t have proper representation, they risk losing money, delaying closing, and signing contracts that favor the buyer. That’s where FSBO Protection (Transaction Management Service) comes in.
