When you make an offer to purchase a home, standard practice is to* accom pany the offer with “earnest mon ey". The fate of your earnest money is governed by the language of your offer. If the bid is not accepted, your check should be returned immediately. The situation can get a little sticky if the transaction falls through - like you change your mind or you can’t get financing. The language of your bid should contain two protec tions. The offer should be made contingent on the acqui- sition of mortgage financing and the seller should agree to accept the earnest money as “liquidated damages” if you default. If you can’t obtain a mortgage, you still get your earnest money back as long as you have responded hon estly to appropriate questions about financing. The “liquida tion of damages" clause will limit any compensation for the seller to the amount of the earnest money if you back out of the transaction or otherwise default.
