Your buyers agent would have one, keep in mind you are governed by executed contract performance clauses of buyer . Title company would need to release money both buyer and seller must sign document.

Aria,
Please consult your Buyers agent if you are working with one. What you need is a Release Agreement. It is very important to follow the appropriate chain of events to ensure you are able to get your earnest money deposit back.
You need to know the terms of your financing contingency and make sure to produce the a statement from the lender showing your inability to get the loan before the expiration of the contingency, and then all parties must agree to the disbursement of the funds as well. Best of luck!
