Escrow is a legal arrangement whereby a thing (often money, but sometimes other property such as art, a deed of title, or software source code) is delivered to a third party (called an escrow agent) to be held in trust pending a contingency or the fulfillment of a condition or conditions in a contract.

Escrow is not just a term for real estate. While escrow is best known in the context of real estate, escrow companies are also commonly used in the transfer of higher value properties like websites and businesses. It is even used in auction sites where two parties unknown to each other are making a transaction and there is no previous history.
In addition there can be lawyer transactions with clients that involve escrow.
Real estate agents are in some jurisdictions considered to act as escrow agents when they accept deposits for the purchase of real property.
