An escrow agent acts as a neutral third party, holding funds and documents until all transaction conditions are met. The escrow process ensures that all parties fulfill their obligations before the finalization of the transaction.

The duration can vary depending on the complexity of the transaction and the cooperation of all parties involved. Typically, it takes several hours for the closing process and several weeks for the escrow process.
