How Holding Funds in Escrow Works Buyer and seller agree to terms. Either the buyer or seller initiates a transaction. Buyer pays the escrow company. Seller ships merchandise to buyer. Buyer accepts merchandise. The escrow company releases its funds and pays the seller.
Who Does The Escrow Agent Work For? Escrow agents act as neutral third parties in these types of transactions. They serve the escrow agreement, and as such, they don't work for either the buyer or the seller.
Cons of escrow High upfront costs: Many escrow accounts require a minimum balance to cover unexpected expenses. You may have to keep an extra two or three months' worth of property taxes and insurance premiums as a cushion, or "escrow reserve."
