What are the types of escrow account?

If money is put in escrow by the seller of real estate at time of closing is the seller eligible for refund of the money?

Refund occurs if and only if all conditions of the escrow agreement are carried out. In the case of an escrow of money from the seller, this is done to make sure that all requirements of the sale, including those that may be hidden or not immediately apparent are carried out. An escrow agreement is a contract. A third party, the escrow holder is involved. Because a third party holds the money, this is not the same as a deposit. The third party is the one who must be satisfied that the agreement is completed. There are specific government laws and regulations on escrow agreements, as well as the principles of contracts. Laws and regulations control how the money in escrow affects financial standing of the parties in the transaction in regards to loan eligability. jp


When you pay off a mortgage do you get the money that is escrow?

Yes. The lender should send you a refund for any funds remaining in your escrow account unless it uses that money to pay a pending real estate tax bill. It's your money.

What is an escrow deposit?

An escrow deposit is money put down to hold a contract to purchase real estate. The deposit should be given to a 3rd party such as a realty agent to hold. When you are attempting to purchase a business, you usually put up an 'earnest money deposit' to be placed in escrow. The deposit money does not belong to the seller. The last person you want to give it to, to hold onto until closing (settlement, passing of papers) is the seller! If the deal sours and the seller has already used the money ("Oh, he told you it would go into a special fund? It did...") it may be extremely difficult to get your deposit back. Perhaps in the seller's mind he thought it was his to keep. Give it to a third party to hold! If you are buying a FSBO (for sale by owner) give it to an escrow agent, escrow title company, attorney, or you can go to the bank and set up a special escrow account. (This may vary by state law. I just tried to put a deposit into it's own escrow account and the bank will not let 'escrow' be on the account as it implied they were the escrow agent and they want no liability or part of a dispute.)
