A quick definition of escrow agent:

An escrow agent is someone who holds onto important things like money, documents, or other valuable items until certain conditions are met. They are like a referee who makes sure everyone follows the rules. The escrow agent has to do what the parties agreed to in the contract and has to be fair to everyone involved. If they don't do their job right, they can be in trouble and have to pay for any mistakes they made. They also charge a fee for their services.

A more thorough explanation:

An escrow agent is a neutral third party responsible for holding assets, documents, or money until certain conditions are met as agreed upon by the parties involved in the escrow agreement. The escrow agent can be an individual or a company.

The escrow agent must follow the instructions outlined in the escrow agreement and has a fiduciary duty to all parties involved. If the escrow agent fails to follow the instructions or acts negligently, they can be held liable for any losses incurred as a result.

The escrow agent is allowed to charge fees for their services, which can vary depending on the complexity of the transaction and the type of escrow agent.

When buying a house, the buyer and seller may use an escrow agent to hold the funds until all conditions of the sale are met. The escrow agent will release the funds to the seller once the buyer has completed all necessary inspections and paperwork, and the seller has provided all necessary documents.

In this example, the escrow agent is responsible for holding the funds until all conditions are met, ensuring that both the buyer and seller fulfill their obligations before releasing the funds. This protects both parties and ensures a fair transaction.
