Contact the agent's principal broker. The PB is the one with the ulitmate authority, so they are the one to deal with now.

A buyers agent's signature is not required in NC or SC but, I don't know about your state. I would seek counsel in your state, Tim.

If all parties, including the agents, need to sign the release and one agent has not, for whatever reason, then why would title company take the risk and liability of acting unilaterally and releasing the funds?
Unless the escrow officer was a newbie and had no clue what they were doing, my expectation would be that they would not release funds until ALL required signatures are obtained.

In GA, the seller and buyer are the only ones that sign the earnest money release.

Realistically...
If all the money is going to the buyer, the buyer does not need to sign it either.
Only the looser needs to agree to forfeit the money.

In Florida, unless the Broker is holding the money in his or her own escrow account, he/she has nothing to do with it.
Hopefully someone from Texas will come along with your answer.

I agree that the managing broker should step forward in the absence of the missing agent. This solves the problem, if there is one.

That's an escrow question. Barbara Todaro seems to have nailed it though.

I don't understand why the BA would need to sign to release EM. When the terms of the contract are met the escrow company can close the transaction.

Any deposit is for the benefit of the parties. If they authorize release it should be released according to thier instruction!

here only principals to the transaction (Buyer and Seller) signature would be required, just ask the escrow company.

in my state agents are not required to sign the release. After all the contract is between the buyer and seller, they don't need my permission to agree to terminate it.

Richard Weeks may be able to answer this for us. I'm not sure who signs in CA as it rarely happens.

Not part of the transaction. I don't know why agents' signaures are required in your transaction. No knowledge that would allow me to make a meaningful answer. I am in no postition to tell the escrow company what to do.

If the buyers agent is not available (in the age of digital signatures I find that hard to believe) then get their broker to sign. Our listing agreement and buyers rep agreement state that the agent may be entitled to a portion of the earnest money; therefore the title company prefers we also sign the release.

Tim Nguyen - escrow funds should be for buyers AND sellers to sign,and may be listing broker/office.
