Construction & Remodeling Escrow
How it works:
Your client deposits with Guardian the funds needed for a new -construction or remodeling project. These funds are kept in an interest-bearing account until we receive a Draw Request co-signed by you and your client. The Draw Request authorizes us to pay the suppliers and /or subcontractors whose name and addresses are listed on the form. This data is entered into our software system. By compiling an accurate chronological record of all deposits, withdrawals, and disbursements. A copy of this history will be provided to both parties when the account is closed.
