A repair escrow is a special account set up by your lender to hold funds for home improvements or repairs. These funds are set aside at closing and used only for the work outlined in your renovation agreement.
They are typically managed through a tripartite agreement between a depositor, a beneficiary and an independent third-party provider – or escrow agent. When used correctly, escrow accounts are a powerful asset for businesses looking to ensure the security and compliance of their transactions.
In real estate, escrow is used to secure the transaction and protect both the buyer and seller. In Georgia, the escrow agent is often a title company or an attorney who specializes in real estate.

The period that you are "in escrow" is often 30 days, but may be longer or shorter. During this time, each item specified in the contract must be completed satisfactorily. By the time you have opened escrow, you have come to an agreement with the seller on the closing date and the contingencies.
It usually takes between 30 to 60 days for an escrow to close. Sometimes the escrow timeline can be shorter or longer. You and the Sellers agree to an escrow timeline during the contract negotiation.
