Earnest money is usually between 1% and 3% of the home's purchase price. For a $400,000 home, earnest money may range between $4,000 and $12,000. The earnest money amount is usually included in the buyer's offer; buyers may try to make their bid seem more serious by offering more earnest money.
Earnest money isn't given directly to the seller, but is instead held in a third-party escrow. This is typically the listing or buyer's agent or a company of their designation. If you don't know to whom to write the check, ask your agent or fill in ______ Escrow, so you can add a more specific escrow name later. If your offer is rejected, the earnest money is returned to you from escrow.
