With over 25 years of experience in the escrow industry, Laura Stone, Owner and Escrow Officer of Uptown Escrow Services, can provide escrow services on the most challenging types of transactions. Today's real estate market, with the inability to obtain new financing for many buyers, brings with it the necessity for agents, buyers and sellers to figure out alternative methods when the conventional methods may not work. In the 1970s and 80s, the use of AITDs (Wrap arounds), Lease Options, Contracts of Sale, etc. assisted in the closing of many escrows. Using an Escrow Officer who knows how to handle these "alternative" types of transactions is such a benefit to agents, buyers and sellers who need to find a solution to today's tough market conditions
