About us

Independent and contemporary escrow provider headquartered in Los Angeles, CA.

In the early 2000s, CEO Wendy Bond saw the need for a premium, independent escrow service. Something fresh and modern with a focus on customer experience. So in 2004, Guaranty Escrow was born.

Since then, we've handled over $6.5bn in real estate escrow. Held other high-value transactions in holding escrow. And revolutionized the process for cryptocurrency deals.

Our mission

At Guaranty Escrow we strive to create a professional and caring business environment in which employees thrive and clients are always served. Every real estate transaction is unique and the parties in the transaction deserve our attention, patience, guidance, respect and understanding. There are few events in life that are as financially significant and emotionally memorable as a real estate transaction.
