I’m pretty sure it’s 3 banking days after acceptance. I remember discussing it in class, but I could be mixing it up with another state’s rules.

I’m confused about the difference between receipt and acceptance. I feel like I need to double-check that.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think it was 5 days after acceptance. That seems to stick in my mind.

I think it’s 3 banking days after receipt, but I’m not entirely sure if it’s after acceptance or just receipt.

Alright, let me think this through step-by-step. The question is about North Carolina, so I need to focus on the specific requirements there. I'm going to eliminate the options that don't match the timeline I remember and then select the best answer.

Wait, I'm a little confused. Is it 3 days or 5 days? And does the timeline start from when the deposit is received or when the offer is accepted? I better double-check the details on this one.

Okay, I've got this. The question is asking about when the earnest money deposit must be deposited into a trust account. I'm pretty confident the answer is B) 3 banking days after acceptance of the offer.

Hmm, I think this one is about the rules for handling earnest money deposits in North Carolina. I'll need to review the trust account requirements to make sure I understand the timeline.
