EARNEST MONEY CONTRACT

Credit gives the word to pay either by repaying it or returning those resources later. In other words, this credit is the method of making the reciprocity formal, legally enforceable, and of course, extensible to a vast group of people who are not related.

However, the resources provided may be financial or have goods or services, like consumer credit. The credit covers any form of deferred payment. Credit generally gets extended by the creditor, the debtor or lender, and sometimes the borrower.



Definition

The earnest money contract is legally binding between both parties and is made at the time of exchanging the earnest money in question. The earnest money is a financial deposit that is done in good faith on any actual property or home loan from the buyer to the seller at the time of selling any home. In usual cases, this earnest money amount may hover between 1-10% of the selling price. The contract outlines the terms and conditions for refunds of the amounts which have been deposited.

Use of Earnest Money Contract in Real Estate

Earnest money safeguards the seller in case the buyer backs out from the sale of the property. The earnest money contract safeguards both the parties by laying out the terms and conditions of the refund as well. It also offers legal solutions for both of them in case of any dispute or contract violation. These contracts usually have vital details of the exchange and sale of earnest money, including things like the exchange timeline, contingencies, escrow agent, and refund procedure.
