Earnest money is made in good faith to demonstrate - to the seller - that the buyer’s offer is genuine. Earnest money essentially takes the home off the market to anyone else and reserves it for you. It is usually deposited in a third party escrow account.

An agent is more than just a salesperson and someone who opens doors to let you view a home. A real estate agent provides advice and guidance in markets that are always changing. They negotiate with your best interests at mind and protect you.
