Earnest Money

Now that your offer has been accepted by the seller and we have an executed contract, it’s time to drop off your 1st earnest money check. Earnest money checks usually need to be dropped off within 2 business days of contract execution. So, what is earnest money? Click here to read a great article explaining earnest money.

We will email you exactly how much your earnest money check should be made out for, who it should be made out to and where it should be dropped off. In the “For “line of your check, put “EM check for (insert property address).” Put the check in an envelope, but don’t seal it. On the outside of the envelope write “EM check for (insert property address) ” and your name. Generally the check is dropped off at the Title Company. Try to go during normal business hours to drop it off as you’ll need to get a receipt. Once you’ve been given a receipt, go ahead and seal the envelope with the check in it and give it to the receptionist. In addition, please text us after you’ve dropped off the check so we can let the seller’s Listing Agent know.

As a reminder, your earnest money check amount will be deducted from your final down payment and needs to be dropped off within 4 business days after contract execution.
