How does the cash escrow work?

Cash escrow is a financial arrangement whereby money is held by the escrow service while all the terms are being met. Cash escrow can be commonly used in real estate transactions as a way to create a security that is held by a trusted third party under outlined conditions.

Cash escrow is useful when buyers and sellers need to abide by certain conditions for the sale to go ahead, in the case of real estate this may be building and pest inspections and other checks on the property title. The beauty of cash escrow lies in the fact that should one or more of the elements of the agreement not be met, the transaction is cancelled.
