It must be deposited in an employed broker's trust account no later than three business days after acceptance of the contract, unless the buyer and seller instruct the broker in writing to do something different.

Explanation:

Earnest money can in many ways be considered as a deposit on a home. A contract that outlines the conditions for refunding the amount is written up during the exchange of the earnest money. The money gives the buyer extra time to get financing and conduct the title search, property appraisal and inspection before closing the deal.
