EIC’s goal is to help guide and educate the public about the escrow process – one of the most misunderstood aspects of the real estate process. 

EIC members are licensed by the California Department of Corporations, undergo background checks and fingerprinting by the California Department of Justice and are bonded by the Escrow Agents’ Fidelity Corporation. 

Ensuring our clients' safety and earning their trust are the top priorities of EIC and its member companies
