Making An Offer >Keeping Your Earnest Money Safe

When you make an offer on a house, it is accompanied by an earnest money check. Earnest money is intended to demonstrate that you are "in earnest" about purchasing the property. The earnest money check is made out to the listing company. What happens to this check?

The party holding the check acts as an escrow agent until you go into closing. At that time you will receive credit for the amount of your check against the down payment and closing costs. Real estate brokers are required by law to keep escrow funds in a special account. These funds cannot be used to pay any other expenses associated with the sale. If you don't complete the transaction, the purchase contract determines the disposition of your earnest money funds. Be sure to review this part of your contract with the real estate agent.

If you are in default on your agreement, the funds may go to the sellers, so be sure that you understand the deadlines in order to avoid breach of contract and forfeiture of your deposit. If you have any questions, be sure to ask your real estate agent for advice.

Charlottesville, Virginia is said to be one of the best places in America to live! I couldnt agree more, as Ive spent twenty two delightful years here in this wonderful city. I am originally from Charleston, SC and can appreciate the pleasure of Charlottesvilles four distinct seasons and very temperate climate. I am married to musician Jeff Decker and have four grown children. Family has been paramount in my life and therefore I consider my children to be one of my greatest accomplishments. My degrees in both education and nursing have served me well as a wife, mother and real estate professional. As a full time associate with Real Estate III and top producer for the past seventeen years, serving my clients has been a very rewarding experience. I appreciate the challenges and concerns each individual client brings to the table and I assist them every step of the way in an effort to reach their goals.
