From an owner whose home is in escrow: “I’m not going to sign the escrow papers until I know how the physical inspection went…”
Answer:
You’ve already signed the contract and signing the escrow papers makes you no more or less committed. But waiting to sign could lead to delays as escrow needs to know who your lender is to arrange payoff. They also need your “Statement of Information” form so the title company can check your name for liens and judgments, as well as clear up any erroneous liens. By waiting, you could cause a delay.
You have nothing to gain and something to lose by waiting, so you should just sign the escrow papers.
