California Contract Assignment / Escrow question

[Robin Hudson]

Hello everyone! I have a couple of questions about a Contract Assignment in California.  If anyone can assist, I would greatly appreciate it.  I live in 1 county and the property buying/selling is located in another county.  Is it required that I choose Escrow/Title in that same county, or can I use one in my own county within the same state?

Secondly, if anyone can recommend an investor-friendly escrow & title company in the Los Angeles or Orange County areas, please shoot me a note.  Looking for experienced escrows who deal with assignable contracts.

Many thanks!
