Many sellers make the mistake of depositing and spending
earnest money before closing day. If the transaction doesn’t go
through or the buyer pulls out due to repair issues, it is up to
the seller to return the cash. It is recommended to have a real
estate agent or broker hold the deposit. Most buyers’ earnest
money will be held in an escrow account until the closing day,
allowing the money to remain untouched by either party.
FUN FACT: Get the name and numbers.
Just when you think you’ve checked all the boxes for an
easy sell of your house, take a second look at your address.
According to Zillow, street names and house numbers matter!
If you happen to live at 666 Fanny Hands Lane, you may be
out of luck (however that particular street is in the United
Kingdom, so you should be safe). Innuendo-laden street
names tend to not sell as quickly \
