    Complete "Alternative Earnest Money Deadline" checklist.

    We typically use "MEC + 2 Days" for the "Alternative Earnest Money Deadline" so that you can have two days after the contract is accepted to get your Earnest Money to the Earnest Money Holder.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: If you're traveling or unable to perform on 2 days after acceptance the time to tell your Real Estate Broker is before you write your offer (not after). It is not a good start to the relationship with the Seller to have to change a deadline right after going under contract.
