Example of Escrow The offer is accepted and he must put his earnest money, say $5,000, into escrow. The money put in escrow allows the seller to know you're serious about potentially buying the property, and in return, the seller will take the property off the market and finalize repairs, etc.
For most situations, when the sales contract or purchasing agreement is signed, the earnest money is issued. But it may also be added to the deal. After deposit, the funds are usually held until closing in an escrow account, at which stage the deposit is added to the down payment and closing costs of the buyer.
If the parties stipulate that a sum given by the buyer to the seller is earnest money, either party may recede from the contract, but the buyer who chooses to recede must forfeit the earnest money, and the seller who so chooses must return the earnest money plus an equal amount.

Deposits. While other states have earnest money, in Louisiana we have deposits.

Buyers are limited to 72 hours to deliver the deposit before being in default.
