The History of Escrow

The first “Escrow” started in Los Angeles, California in 1895, when a gentleman, heading out of town, approached Title Insurance & Trust and asked if they could deliver an executed deed to his buyer and send him the $1,000 that was due him…and voila, escrow was born.

Since that time, escrow/settlement services have grown throughout the State and Country and is practiced and governed in a variety of ways. Vector Escrow Services is an independent Escrow company acting as a neutral third party and is licensed by the State in California under the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) & is a member of the Escrow Agents Fidelity Corporation.
