🏠 What Is an Escrow Dispute?
An escrow dispute happens when the buyer and seller disagree about who is entitled to the escrow deposit — usually the earnest money — following a canceled or failed real estate transaction. Common causes include:
- Contract contingencies not being met
- Disagreements over inspection results or repair issues
- Financing falling through
- Missed deadlines or breached terms
⚖️ Florida Law on Escrow Disputes
Under Florida Statute 475.25, real estate agents and brokers must hold escrow funds in a neutral account and follow specific procedures when disputes arise. These include:
