Earnest Money
In property negotiations, a deposit furnished by a buyer to demonstrate genuine intent in completing the purchase of a property. This deposit can, if the offer is accepted, be held by the seller’s representative and applied to the buyer’s portion of the remaining costs. Conversely, the earnest deposit will be returned to the buyer should the offer not be accepted or if certain agreed upon contingencies are not met. Deposit amounts can vary depending on regions and markets. Also called “earnest payment” or “good-faith deposit.”

What we do during the "Reinstatement Period"?
All American Foreclosure Service will review and forward a copy of the Trustee Sale Guaranty we order from the Title Company, to see who has a recorded interest in the property as owner or as lien holder; check for bankruptcy and ensure proper notice to the Trustor and subsequent owners or junior lien holders. Within 10 days we are required to mail a copy of the Notice of Default to the Trustor and those who have recorded a Request for Special Notice and within 30 days we send a copy of the Notice of Default to any junior lien holders and other parties. Upon expiration of the 3 month reinstatement period, we proceed to set a Trustee Sale.
