Many FSBO sellers believe that escrow and title companies take care of all the paperwork and protect their interests during the sale. They don’t.
Escrow and title companies are neutral third parties—they process paperwork but do NOT represent you, negotiate, or ensure you don’t lose money in the transaction. This is where our FSBO Protection Plan comes in.
📌 What Escrow & Title Actually Do:
✅ Escrow = A Neutral Middleman
• Holds and distributes funds
• Manages escrow-specific paperwork (like deeds & loan docs)
• Ensures contract terms are met before closing
✅ Title = Ownership Verification
• Conducts title searches for liens
• Provides title insurance
• Facilitates legal transfer of ownership
🚫 What Escrow & Title Do NOT Do (But You Need!):
• ❌ They do NOT review your offer or contract for costly mistakes
• ❌ They do NOT protect you during negotiations (Buyers’ agents negotiate for their clients—not you!)
• ❌ They do NOT ensure you meet deadlines to avoid buyer leverage or penalties
• ❌ They do NOT provide required seller disclosures
• ❌ They do NOT fight for you when buyers request credits & repairs
Without expert contract protection, many FSBO sellers unknowingly leave thousands on the table—either by agreeing to bad terms, missing critical deadlines, or giving unnecessary concessions to buyers.
🔥 How Our FSBO Protection Plan Keeps You Safe:
✔ Expert Offer & Contract Review – We catch hidden loopholes and unfavorable terms before you sign.
✔ Powerful Negotiation Support – Buyers’ agents fight for their client—we fight for you.
✔ Deadline & Contingency Management – We hold the buyer accountable so they don’t drag out the deal and ask for last-minute concessions.
✔ Full Seller Disclosure Assistance – We provide ALL required state and federal disclosures to protect you from lawsuits.
✔ Escrow & Title Coordination – We actively manage escrow and title on your behalf—so nothing gets missed or delayed.
✔ Risk-Free Protection – Covered by our Errors & Omissions Insurance so you’re not personally liable if a mistake happens.
⚠️ The Biggest FSBO Mistake: Thinking “Escrow Handles It”
If you’re thinking, “I have a great escrow company, I don’t need help,” consider this:
➡️ Escrow doesn’t work for you—they work for the transaction.
➡️ Buyers’ agents want their client to win—who’s protecting you?
➡️ One small contract mistake can cost you thousands.

🚨 “We assumed escrow would handle everything, but we got pressured into giving a $7,500 credit to the buyer at the last minute. We were pressured to accept or risk cancelling the transaction and starting over”
🚨 “We missed a contingency deadline, and the buyer’s agent used it to delay closing and renegotiate the price!”
🚨 “I thought title handled disclosures, but I found out AFTER closing that I missed one—and now the buyer is suing me!”
