Let's hope that everyone knows the difference between "Escrow" accounts and "Earnest" accounts. We deal in "Earnest" accounts instead of "Escrow" accounts all the time.
We owe it to our clients to give them cost and service comparisons when they are choosing a title company. I always give my clients a choice of at least two title companies that I have used that I know can handle any challenges that come up because there is a level of experience in their office second to none and then I let them choose based on the price comparisons.
Not all escrow companies are created equal. I've found most of their fees are pretty much the same. The big differences are the escrow officers themselves. A good escrow officer is worth their weight in gold as they not only get the job done, they get it done right.
I've experienced both good and bad escrow officers. The good ones protect your client, the bad ones don't. I don't refer by company so much as by escrow officer. I've seen both good and bad in the same company.
Refer at least two good escrow officers you've worked with before to your clients. No matter which one they pick you know it will be a good one.
I agree that the individual makes the difference. I always have my preferred partner in any area at the top of the list presented to customers.
