Earnest money

Earnest money basics

Earnest money shows seriousness. Contingencies protect you when used correctly. Miss deadlines and you can put the deposit at risk.

Amount expectations vary by price point and competition. Your contract spells out where funds are held and when they become non-refundable.

MoJo walks deadlines with you. Read contingencies.

Roles stay clear

MoJo = real estate (KS/MO)

Search, showings, negotiations, inspections, and closing coordination. MoJo is not a lender and does not set rates, approve loans, or run DPA programs.

Lenders = loan review (shop them)

Compare Loan Estimates. Ashley Jones (NMLS 1739681), First State Bank Mortgage, is an optional preferred review partner — not required. No promised rates.
