Step 1: Agreement Between Parties
The buyer and seller agree on all terms, including the price, timeline, and conditions for releasing funds or assets.
Step 2: Open an Escrow Account
The buyer deposits the agreed-upon funds or assets into a secure escrow account managed by the escrow service.
Step 3: Fulfillment of Terms
The seller delivers the product, service, or asset as outlined in the agreement. The escrow service verifies that all terms have been met.
Step 4: Release of Funds
Once the terms are satisfied, the escrow service releases the funds to the seller. If the terms are not fulfilled, the funds are returned to the buyer.
Step 5: Close the Escrow
The transaction is finalized, and both parties receive confirmation of completion.
