Escrow
What the heck is escrow?
Ok, we’re not going to pretend like this is an easy one to understand. No one would say escrow is the most straightforward part of a home loan. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Click here here and get to know everything escrow!
What is Escrow?
Simply put, an escrow account is like a separate side account that’s there to cover your property taxes and/or your homeowner’s insurance. Think of it like a safe money stash that your lender holds for you to pay for property taxes and homeowner’s insurance. Learn more.

The review
Once every year, we sit down and review your escrow account to make sure that it’s in excellent shape for the upcoming year. Learn more.
Property taxes (paying just got easier)

Homeowner’s insurance (simplify your payment)
The biggest advantage to having an escrow account is that your homeowner’s insurance is included in your monthly mortgage billing statement—making payments easier to manage. Learn more.

Why did I receive an escrow overage check?
You may have received an overage check because your annual insurance premium, taxes (or both) were less than originally expected. Take a look at the escrow analysis statement included with the check—it will show you how the overage was calculated.
Federal law requires that we return any surplus over $50 directly to you. However, if you would like to return the overage check to us and have it applied as a principal reduction, we can do that too! Please do so by endorsing the back of the check to TMS and send it to the address below.
