I’m the founder of Signature TC, a full-service compliance company established in 2016. My team of transaction coordinators and I have closed 2,500+ escrow files across Los Angeles and Southern California. Now we help owners who sell on their own get every document right, so nothing falls apart in escrow.
This checklist is general guidance, not legal advice. Which forms apply depends on your property and city. Signature TC, 14002 Palawan Way, Marina del Rey, CA 90292.
