27: First Option Money, Now I Have to Pay Earnest Money?


Listen Later

In this episode I will be diving in deep on the term earnest money. This is probably a term you are not using in your regular day to day interactions, so I’m going to break it down quite a bit. 

Questions that will be answered:
1.  What is earnest money?
2. Why does a buyer need to provide earnest money at all? 
3. Why is this a part of the process? 
4. Is the money lost or gone forever? 
5. Is there any chance of losing the earnest money? 
6. Are there scenarios where a buyer could get the earnest money returned after the option period ends? 

All of these questions answered in less than 15 minutes!
