When purchasing property, one of the most important considerations for both a buyer and a seller is whether and under what conditions the transaction funds will be safely held and distributed by an independent party.
In an international transaction, this issue is even more vital and often complicated, as either the purchaser or the seller may not be familiar or comfortable having funds deposited in an unfamiliar jurisdiction or with an unfamiliar attorney or bank. Utilizing Secure Title’s escrow services provides cost-effective security to all parties in the real estate transaction.
Secure Title escrow team administers deposited funds ensuring an efficient and secure disbursement process.
Through our Trust division, we have secured over $720 million in third party assets, including shares, corporate books of over 200 companies, money orders, lease agreements, mortgages, promissory notes, deposited cash and more.
We also hold in trust over 2,500 properties across the Costa Rican territory, all bound to Guaranty Trust agreements which secure loans by public and private lenders.
We handle Living, Guaranty, Cash Flow, Custody, and Administrative Trusts, among others.
Our knowledgeable and experienced team is committed to providing superb customer service and has made us the leader in Trust Services in the country of Costa Rica. We look forward to servicing your trust needs.
With over $5 billion in coverage issued, Secure Title issues more title guaranty and title insurance policies than any other provider in the region. Trust us to protect your ownership and guard against hidden risks. For a fee typically around 0.5%, put chance to rest.
Beyond providing customers title guaranty and escrow services, Secure Title provides a host of coordination and closing services to help streamline the real estate transaction process. Acting as a single point of contact for closing details, Secure Title takes the worry from your hands and we lead you to a successful close. When utilizing Secure Title closing services, your transaction is managed by a highly trained closer, who will guide you through the details and ensure an efficient process.
Our 28 point checklist is the most thorough and comprehensive in Latin America. There is no company more experienced in the region.
The major US title insurers, including Stewart Title, First American and Fidelity have all depended on our research standards throughout the years.
