What is Long-Term Escrow?

Long-term escrow services involve the use of a neutral third party to manage and facilitate ongoing financial agreements — such as promissory notes or contracts for deed — between buyers and sellers over an extended period. This service goes beyond a standard real estate closing by offering continuous, secure management of private financing arrangements, especially those not handled through traditional financial institutions.

Why Choose a Long-Term Escrow?

Managing a seller-financed loan or private agreement without a third party can be risky, time-consuming, and emotionally charged — especially when issues arise about when a payment was made. Placing a long-term escrow with a neutral third party ensures both parties have the confidence and structure they need to maintain a fair and successful financial relationship over the life of the loan.
 

Here's Why More Buyers and Sellers Trust Rocky Mountain Escrow to Handle Their Long-Term Escrow

Reduces Risk of Disputes

With a neutral party handling payments and recordkeeping, both sides are protected from misunderstandings about balances, due dates, the date the payment was made, obtaining timely payoffs and each party’s responsibility in the escrow.

Ensures Proper Documentation at Completion of Escrow

We manage the loan in accordance with the signed promissory note or contract for deed, ensuring documentation to close the escrow is complete and properly recorded—critical for future refinancing, title transfers, or sales.

Professional Handling of Complex Terms

Partial payments, interest-only periods, split payments, reserve accounts—these features are managed accurately and consistently, without relying on either party to handle the math or paperwork.

Peace of Mind for Both Parties

Whether you’re a seller concerned about managing the receipt of payments or a buyer wanting transparency and structure, Rocky Mountain Escrow offers assurance that the agreement is handled impartially, securely and professionally.

Ideal for Rural or Private Financing Sectors

In areas like rural Colorado, where vacant land is being sold, traditional financing may be limited or delayed. Long-term escrow provides a quicker and reliable alternative for real estate transactions.

Support Throughout the Life of the Loan

From the initial setup to the final payoff, Rocky Mountain Escrow’s team is available to answer questions about the loan, provide documentation, and ensure a smooth experience—something not guaranteed in informal, private loan agreements that are managed by the lender or seller.

Tax Benefits to the Seller

Any taxes owed by the seller for the sale of appreciated property can be spread out over the life of the loan. This allows the seller to earn interest on the money from the sale, which is not subject to taxation until actually received. Of course, the seller should consult with their tax advisor to determine if their sale qualifies for this tax benefit.
