If the sale is part of REIT of some kind, the investment company will take care of the disbursements from the sale not escrow. That is a different animal all together. Some times people simply their questions so the answers may not be spot on with their actual circumstances and why I feel strongly about educating yourself as much as possible before filing so you can provide the most accurate information on your investment sale to insure you are not audited and or have to pay penalities.
