When it comes to real estate transactions, a good faith deposit is often required to show the seller that the buyer is serious about purchasing the property. This deposit, also known as earnest money, is typically held in escrow until the closing of the deal. But does a good faith deposit have to go into escrow? Let’s find out.<\/p>\n
