Owner-financed deals, done right and serviced on time.
Golden Lane Escrow sets up and services escrow for owner carry, rent-to-own, lease option, and subject-to transactions — with a portal both sides can actually use.
A neutral third party, holding everything together
Escrow is a neutral third-party service that helps manage important documents, payments, and transaction details between buyers and sellers. Golden Lane Escrow holds original transaction documents, including deeds, while tracking payments, maintaining records, and following the written agreement between the parties.
For creative financing transactions, escrow provides a clear record of what has been paid, what is still owed, and when documents should be released. When taxes are included in the agreement, escrow can also help collect and hold tax funds so they are properly tracked and available when property taxes come due.
A clear process, from setup to payoff
Document Holding & Organization
We collect and hold original transaction documents, including deeds, so everything is kept together and released according to the written agreement.
Payment Tracking
Monthly payments are tracked and recorded so buyers and sellers have a clear history of what has been paid and what is still owed.
Buyer & Seller Portals
Online portal access allows both parties to view account details, payment history, and servicing information in one place.
Tax & Insurance Support
When included in the agreement, escrow can help track tax and insurance funds so important property obligations stay organized.
Records When You Need Them
If questions, payoff, cancellation, or release issues come up, escrow provides clear records and documentation to support the next steps.
