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.

Real estate has been my passion for the last nine years and I wouldn't change a thing. After all, coming into Real Estate is how I met my husband Tim. We've been married for two years and when we're not selling homes and teaching new agents, we enjoy traveling, spending time at our beach condo, cookouts with our family and friends and Bobcats Basketball.

My family moved from Paris, France to Charlotte when I was 10 years old. I consider myself a Charlotte native, having grown up here and gone to the College of Nursing at UNCC. I was an RN in a busy ICU and ER for 5 years and enjoyed 10 years in the Army Reserves and Army Nurse Corps. I'm proud to have served our country in Desert Storm.

In order to better serve all of my buyer and seller clients, I have furthered my education in real estate by earning the highly coveted Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation, awarded to less than 5% of all RealtorsŽ nationwide.
