Escrow
What does full reconveyance mean When property has been recorded at the Hall of Records after being sold, is that the day it closed escrow? Or when does escrow close?

Re: Escrow
A full reconveyance is used to reconvey the security interest transfered with deed of trust. After a mortgage is paid in full the holder of the deed of trust gives to the property owner. The owner records it with the county recorder.
Escrow closes when all of the conditions of the escrow are met. Typically escrow closes when the buyer receives title to the property and the seller receives payment.
