Don't trash your Christmas Cards! We are still accepting the fronts of your recycled cards (except for Hallmark, American Greetings and Disney, which we are unable to donate due to copyright laws). Each year we donate recycled cards to St. Judes Ranch for Children.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SURVEY 🏘

We are partnering with the Property Management Association of Clarksville (PMAC) to begin tracking rental statistics. If your company manages any single or multi-family rentals, please complete this survey so we begin tracking units & occupancy rates!

HOTLINE Q&A

Republished from TN Realtors®

Earnest Money Disbursement
Q: I have an earnest money disbursement issue. The seller has signed the release so I can return the earnest money to the buyer, but the buyer refuses to sign it stating they will see legal action and have been advised by their attorney not to sign the form. My 21-day period has now expired. Do I send it back to the buyer under to the terms of the contract or release it to interpleader?
A: Either action is appropriate.
TREC Rule 1260-2-.09(6) outlines how a broker may distribute earnest money funds. It states as follows: “A broker may properly disburse funds from an escrow or trustee account: (a) upon a reasonable interpretation of the contract which authorizes him to hold such funds; (b) upon securing a written agreement which is signed by all parties having an interest in such funds, and is separate from the contract which authorizes him to hold such funds; (c) at the closing of the transaction; (d) upon the rejection of an offer to purchase, sell, rent, lease, exchange, or option real estate; (e) upon the withdrawal of an offer not yet accepted to purchase, sell, rent, lease, exchange, or option real estate; (f) upon an interpleader action in a court of competent jurisdiction; or (g) upon the order of a court of competent jurisdiction.”
