How long does a broker have to place a buyer's deposit check into an escrow account after an offer's acceptance?

  1. One business day

  2. Two business days

  3. Three business days

  4. Five business days

The correct answer is: Three business days

After an offer has been accepted, a broker has three business days to place the buyer's deposit check into an escrow account. Option A and B are incorrect because they provide a shorter amount of time than the correct answer. Option D is incorrect because it provides a longer amount of time, which could potentially delay the closing process.
