Emerald Isle Housing Tips, Market Insights & Local Guides

Crystal Coast Home Earnest Money and What to Offer

Your agent and real estate attorney help you determine the amount based on competition, financing, and risk. An escrow agent holds it, and it's separate from the nonrefundable due diligence fee
