Independence is a powerful thing. It's a liberating philosophy. It's an empowering characteristic. And when it comes to Homestead Escrow, it's the defining quality that truly drives this dynamic company.

Homestead Escrow was founded with a simple, yet audacious mission: to raise the standards of the industry by providing service that goes above and beyond the norm. Owner Julie Richardson knew that to achieve this goal, the company not only had to offer higher levels of service and professionalism, but to truly provide people with an independent company - one free of any corporate ties, connections or loyalties.

Protecting Your Investment
At its heart, escrow is a process centered on protecting the investments of two separate parties. By its very nature, the integrity of the escrow process runs the risk of being jeopardized if the company has any ties or allegiances to any of the parties involved. As a truly independent company, Homestead Escrow excels at preserving this integrity as well as the investments of both the buyer and seller alike. This genuine independence is what makes Homestead one of the most respected and trusted companies in the industry.

Unparalleled Security and Integrity
Today, the safety and security of your investment is more important than ever. Homestead Escrow is licensed through the California Department of Corporations. The company not only operates under the strictest guidelines and regulations, but every employee is rigorously screened through the Department of Justice. As a result, when you work with a Homestead Escrow officer, you have the confidence of knowing your money is being protected to the highest standard possible. Homestead also boasts the most comprehensive insurance protection available for clients, which adds just another measure of protection to their security and integrity.

An Extraordinary Depth of Services
In addition to their high standard of professionalism, what separates Homestead Escrow from other companies in the industry is the firm's unique depth of experience. In addition to residential resale, the company also handles all inclusive trust deeds, 1031 exchanges, REOs/foreclosure sales, short sales, reverse mortgages, out of state refinances, commercial and industrial escrows, and construction loans. This wide variety of services is rare in an escrow company, but then again, Homsestead Escrow is anything but ordinary.

A Caring Culture of Success
While Homestead is one of the largest and most established escrow companies in South Orange County, it has never lost sight of the core values the company was founded upon. Care, compassion and commitment are the cornerstones of this leading organization and they are reflected in every facet of their service. From working around your schedule to going to your home if necessary, the Homestead staff routinely goes above and beyond to exceed the expectations of their valued clientele.
