When you write your earnest money check you want to show the seller that you are serious about buying their house. If it is a $400,000 house you do not want to write a $500 check. It would be more appropriate to write a $5000 check. For a $200,000 house I would want you to write a $2,000 or $3,000 check. Sure you could write a bigger check for an earnest money deposit, but there is an potential issue when doing that.
If, however, an agreement is reached with the seller, Iâll deliver your earnest money check along with the accepted offer (now a âcontractâ or âagreementâ) to the escrow company to âopen escrow.â. The escrow company will usually âcashâ your earnest money check within 24 hours and deposit the money into your new escrow account. Another way to deposit the earnest money which is becoming more popular is to skip the paper check altogether and simply write into the offer/contract that the buyer will deposit the earnest money into escrow within X days (often 2 or 3) of contract acceptance.
