Our specialized team of Escrow Officers are prepared to face the unique challenges that often arise in a commercial transaction.

GRANT DEEDS
California law allows the use of grant deeds to convey title to real estate. A Quit claim Deed can quickly transfer ownership of property to another person or entity. Our expert staff at Bakersfield Escrow can help draw up the Deed, add or remove ownership of title and assist you with the necessary recordings with the county.
FOR SALE BY OWNER
As a neutral third party, we can handle your "For Sale by Owner" transaction smoothly and efficiently. Our team has the knowledge and foresight to guide you through the closing process, assisting with necessary forms to complete your transaction successfully.
REFINANCE
Refinancing involves replacing an existing mortgage loan with new financing and requires an experienced Escrow Officer who understands the intricacies associated with the transaction. Through problem-solving and timely follow-up, our Bakersfield Escrow Officers know how to successfully complete your refinance transaction.
MANUFACTURED/MOBILE HOME SALES
The sale and transfer of manufactured homes is considered a specialized area of property transfers involving personal property with guidelines that differ from those of a site-built real property home. A specialized Escrow Officer who understands all regulations and has knowledge of this unique transaction is imperative. Bakersfield Escrow remains educated and is well-equipped to successfully close your manufactured or mobile home escrow.
1031 EXCHANGES
1031 Exchanges are very time sensitive and intricate. Transactions involving a 1031 Exchange require a very experienced Escrow Officer. You can trust the Escrow team at Bakersfield Escrow to fulfill your 1031 Exchange needs accurately and successfully.
PROBATE SALES
The process of administering a decedent's estate is referred to as "probate" and is generally supervised by the probate court. A probate sale will require either 1) court confirmation of the sale of the property or 2) authority to administer the estate under the "Independent Administration of Estates Act". Bakersfield Escrow has extensive knowledge of probate sales and will ensure that all of the necessary steps are followed to close your transaction within the guidelines of the law.
PRIVATE FINANCING
With a private loan, funds are borrowed from a person, business, or entity, instead of a bank. The requirements of a private mortgage holder are similar to that of a bank, but tend to differ slightly. Our Escrow officers have processed many transactions involving private financing. We are well-prepared to respond to requests in a timely manner and provide information needed to facilitate the closing
SHORT SALES
A short sale refers to a transaction in which the sales price will not generate enough proceeds to cover the payoff of the existing mortgage. Our Escrow Officers understand every aspect of a short sale. We are extensively trained to foresee troublesome transactions and prevent problems in advance.
SELLER CARRY-BACK
Seller carry-back financing is essentially when a Seller acts as the bank or lender and loans money to the Buyer as a part of the Buyer's purchase escrow. In most cases, your Escrow Officer will prepare the Note and Deed of Trust based on the instructions provided by the parties. It is imperative that you have an Escrow Officer that is highly educated on the proper preparation of a Note and Deed of Trust. Bakersfield Escrow has you covered!
REAL ESTATE OWNED (REO) Properties
REO's involve the purchase of property which is bank/lender owned as a result of foreclosure. These transactions present special challenges such as strict timelines and rigorous bank reporting standards. Our Escrow Officers are experienced in processing REO escrows and meeting the high expectations of our clients.
ALL INCLUSIVE TRUST DEEDS
An All Inclusive Trust Deed (AITD) is a new Deed of Trust that includes the balance due on the existing note (Seller's current mortgage), plus new funds advanced; also known as a wrap-around mortgage. AITD's are commonly prepared by an attorney and presented to the Escrow Officer for recording at the close of escrow. Bakersfield Escrow is experienced in processing transactions involving an AITD, while meeting the high expectations of our clients.
