Who gets the interest accrued on the deposit prior to closing?

Updated March 13, 2023.

There is no interest accrued on the deposit. By law, the real estate agent or attorney must hold the deposit in an escrow account for the benefit of the parties and such escrow accounts do not generate interest to either the real estate agent, the attorney or the parties.
