Escrow
Funds held by a neutral third party until specific conditions are met. In property management, escrow most commonly refers to the portion of your mortgage payment your lender holds for taxes and insurance. During a sale, earnest money sits in escrow until closing. The money belongs to someone; escrow just determines when they get it.
