A Family Business Built on Trust
Sunwest Escrow was founded in Albuquerque, New Mexico with a clear purpose: to provide honest, transparent escrow services for owner-financed real estate transactions.
When a buyer and seller agree to owner financing, they need a neutral third party to manage the payments, handle the paperwork, and keep both sides protected. That's where we come in.
Unlike short-term "closing escrow" that you might see in movies, our escrow accounts span years, sometimes decades. We're not just processing a transaction; we're managing a long-term financial relationship between two parties who are counting on us.
Over 39 years and more than 50,000 contracts later, our commitment hasn't changed. We still answer the phone. We still treat every client like family. And we still believe that you shouldn't need to be an accountant to understand your escrow fees.
