Answers To Your Questions
Common questions about our escrow services and pricing. Everything you need to know before securing your transaction.
How is the escrow fee calculated?
Our fees are based on your transaction amount using a tiered percentage structure. Deals up to $1M are charged 1.50%, deals between $1M-$5M are charged 1.00%, and deals above $5M are charged 0.75%. There’s a minimum fee of $2,500 across all tiers. Use our calculator above to get your exact fee instantly.
When do I pay the escrow fee?
You don’t pay anything upfront. The escrow fee is automatically deducted from the funds in the escrow account at the time of final disbursement when the transaction closes. This means you only pay when the deal is successfully completed and funds are being released to the appropriate parties.
Can the fee be split between buyer and seller?
Absolutely! The escrow fee can be divided in any way agreed upon by the parties involved. Common arrangements include 50/50 split, buyer pays all, seller pays all, or any custom percentage. This fee allocation is specified in your escrow agreement during setup and can be negotiated as part of your transaction terms.
What's included in every escrow service?
Every transaction—regardless of size—receives comprehensive protection, including:
- Legal counsel review by qualified barristers
- Segregated attorney-managed trust account
- Complete documentation and audit trail
- Milestone verification and condition tracking
- Multi-party coordination and communication
- Regulatory compliance (CEMAC standards)
- Secure fund disbursement per agreement terms
- Dedicated escrow specialist support
- Contract compliance verification
The only difference between pricing tiers is the percentage rate—never the quality or scope of service.
What happens if the transaction doesn't close?
It depends on when the deal falls through:
- Before funds are deposited: No fee charged
- After funds are deposited but deal doesn’t close: A minimal administrative fee applies to cover legal work completed and account management
The exact terms are outlined in your escrow agreement. In case of disputes, we provide professional mediation services to help resolve issues and determine proper fund disbursement according to the signed agreement.
Are there any hidden or additional fees?
No hidden fees. The calculated escrow fee covers all services listed—legal oversight, trust account management, documentation, coordination, and compliance.
The only additional costs you might encounter are:
- Standard bank wire transfer fees (charged by your bank)
- International transfer fees (if applicable)
- Currency conversion fees (for non-XAF transactions)
All potential costs are disclosed upfront during your free consultation before you commit to our services.
