If the money is in escrow, then it is being held by the escrow company, not by the realtor. The escrow company is an independent third party with fiduciary responsibilities. If the check was cashed, then you should be able to get a copy of it from your bank and see who cashed it. You can call the escrow company and they should be able to tell you whatever you want to know about your check and how the funds will be handled by them.

You are right, I called the escrow company and they were very cooperative. I am so very appreciative of all the help sent here on TOTV. So looking forwards to living in TV‼️
