If however you are establishing an escrow account in order to facilitate the transaction, I personally like to use the same one over and over.

If you do get a Realtor you could get one as a Transactional Broker to facilitate the deal at a reduced commission, probably a flat fee.

In the exchange you will need a qualified escrow facilitator, title companys/closers provide the services but charges,in my last deal was about $500!
