I think it depends on the title company used so check with them. I used Timeshare title inc. They sent an email with instructions and clearly outlined how the process would work. Up to 1k deposit on a visa no fees. I gave them the number and signed a consent for them to charge and they didn't charge it until it passed ROFR. The nice thing is that I knew right away when I passed ROFR because that's the day the charge was placed.
