Refund Excess Escrow from the Post Screen

Steps to follow:

1. Open the Post Screen

Navigate to Properties > Post for the relevant deal. The system automatically calculates any Escrow Overage to Disburse (e.g., $5,430.00).

In the Escrow Overage section, click the overage amount hyperlink to initiate the refund workflow.

3. Create Escrow Check

The Write Escrow Check modal opens.

  • Select the Escrow Payee manually.
  • The system auto-populates:
    • Bank Account (from original escrow deposit)
    • Check Number (next available sequence)
    • Check Template (default escrow template)
    • Check Date (current date)
    • Amount (escrow overage amount)
    • Memo (property address)

Click Post or Post & Print to complete the transaction.

4. System Updates

After closing the modal:

  • The Post screen refreshes.
  • The escrow overage amount is cleared.
  • The Escrow Held balance updates.
  • The refund check appears in Properties > Escrow.

5. Complete Posting

Proceed with the remaining Write Escrow Check (Commission) step. The ledger is now balanced, allowing the user to finalize the post with confidence.
