Your safety nets
Your contingencies at a glance
A contingency lets you cancel for a specific reason and get your deposit back, until you sign it off. Watch the 3-minute explainer.
Milestones
Wire safety. Before sending the deposit or closing funds, call Corner Escrow at a number you already have to confirm the instructions by voice. Never use a phone number or account number from an email.
Weekend and holiday dates. When a deadline lands on a weekend or holiday, the contract allows performance on the next business day. To stay safe we aim to finish the day before. Veterans Day (Wed Nov 11) is a legal holiday and the county recorder is closed.
