What is Earnest Money? | Real View of Real Estate

What is earnest money? 

 

Earnest Money is the money that you put down after your offer is accepted. It shows the seller that you are serious about buying the property. In our market, 1% of the purchase price is pretty normal. That check is made out to either the listing broker’s trust account or the title company’s trust account. Your check is cashed and deposited, and you’ll get that money credited back to you at closing.
