Escrow explained
Escrow is the neutral process or account where funds and documents are held until closing conditions are satisfied. In a wholesale operation, the term matters because it connects the seller conversation to a real next step instead of leaving the team with vague notes.
Earnest money deposits, closing funds, and signed documents may move through escrow depending on the state and closing process. VA Horizon cares about this because callers, lead managers, and acquisitions teams all need the same language inside the CRM. When the term is tagged correctly, follow-up becomes cleaner, handoffs improve, and the operator can see whether the lead is worth more time.
Escrow practices differ by market, so operators should follow the title company or attorney closing instructions.
Example
The buyer sends earnest money to escrow, and the funds are released or applied according to the contract and closing outcome.
