  1. Really smart move by Jackson Elsegood for Escrow.com. That’s so cheap to protect yourself for a low dollar amount transaction. It’s a no brainer. Especially since most of us are past the verification process, now. Let’s face it, that was a pain. But now we’re all 100% certain we know who we’re dealing with which really protects us for the high dollar amount transactions. All bases covered now.

  2. Escrow is hurting, 2015 was there last good year.
