Becoming an Escrow Officer

What is the process for becoming an escrow officer? Classes? Licenses? certifications? etc? Is there any place local to Santa Clara or San Jose where I can take the necessary classes?

If you are still wondering, I am an Escrow Officer and I learned through experience. I don't believe classes could ever teach you all that is involved in the detail of becoming an Escrow Officer. Unfortunately, the demand is low now, so no one is willing to train.

Becoming an escrow officer takes a lot of on the job training. The best thing to do is to start as a receptionist with the goal in mind to leard as much as you can and slowly move up. Others will noyice your hard work and give you more based on your work ethic and good preformance.

Good Luck!!

Hello Katie,

I just came across this website and your posting as I am attempting to find out how to locate the license number of a Senior Escrow Officer that mis-recorded a change in ownership/title on my Mother's two properties from her name to mine. This is as per my Mother's Living Trust's instructions and the Trust was also provided to that Senior Escrow Officer. These properties were recorded as though I had purchased them and they were re-accessed by the L.A. Co. Property Tax Appraiser. I distinctly recall that the Escrow Officer didn't know what to check off on the forms as I was there with her as she was attempting to figure this out. I even "attempted" to help but I was clueless. My Mother has since passed away recently and also the property taxes in the new MUCH HIGHER amount for BOTH of these properties is coming due in weeks. They were BOTH protected by Prop. 13 too so they were and should be reinstated back to the very LOW Prop 13 levels.

The Escrow Officer denies doing this and will NOT cooperate or even communicate with me. The same goes for my Loan Broker who did some financing/re-financing for me. How do I learn these peoples license numbers? I believe I found the Loan Brokers license but can't find a record for the Senior Escrow Officer. I do have the name of the "current' Escrow company where she is now employed. It is different from the previous Escrow company when she made these TWO recording errors that are now haunting me. What Public Agency governs these two occupations? (Escrow Officer and Mortgage Broker)? I DESPERATELY need IMMEDIATE assistance and need to file for disciplinary matters with the proper governing agency as well. Who do I contact and how?

Please advise.

Thank you,

I agree, I started at the bottom of a Title Company long ago, and now own my own Title Insurance company in Utah. We do both Title and Escrow.

Hi Janet,
I am looking to get back in the escrow industry. I understand that Utah requires you to be licensed and I just don't know where to start to get licensed. I have worked as a Jr. Escrow Officer but mainly in the legal industry. Can you please contact me at luanaleumufonotasi@ymail.com to discuss this further. I am willing to start at the bottom (again) and work my way up. I live in Utah and am looking for an opportunity to get my foot in the door.
Thanks Janet.
