From Earnest Money to Close
We track the full escrow timeline — deposit, contingencies, release — and keep both parties informed at every step.
How Commercial Escrow Works
Commercial escrow is more complex than residential because you’re dealing with corporate entities, longer timelines, and larger sums. Escrow fees typically run 1–2% of purchase price and can sometimes be negotiated depending on transaction complexity.
Funds release within 2 business days of closing. Alltech is ALTA-certified and handles escrow as part of the full closing service or as a standalone engagement. If you need escrow-only services without a full title order, contact us to discuss the arrangement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a professional commercial escrow company?
Commercial transactions involve corporate entities, larger sums, and longer timelines than residential deals. A professional escrow company acts as a neutral third party — verifying documents, tracking contingencies, and protecting the release of funds. ALTA membership signals the company meets industry standards for security and compliance. Handling escrow without a neutral party creates legal exposure for both sides.
How long do escrow funds take to release after closing?
Alltech releases funds within 2 business days of closing. Actual receipt depends on your bank’s wire processing timeline — most wires arrive same day or next business day once initiated. We notify both parties when funds are released.
How much does commercial escrow cost?
Escrow fees typically run 1–2% of purchase price for commercial transactions. The rate can sometimes be negotiated based on transaction complexity, deal size, or whether escrow is part of a full closing engagement. Contact us with your transaction details for a specific quote.
Am I legally required to use a commercial escrow company?
No — there’s no legal requirement to use an escrow company. But without one, there’s no neutral third party to verify that all conditions have been met before funds are released. That exposes both the buyer and the seller to risk. Most lenders also require a licensed escrow holder as a condition of the loan.
Who owns the escrow funds?
The buying entity owns the escrow funds until the deal closes and funds are properly released per the purchase agreement. Alltech holds the funds in a segregated, insured escrow account — they are never commingled with operating funds and are only disbursed when all closing conditions are satisfied.
