Contract question for properties in Arkansas.
Contract question for offer contract in Arkansas. So I do not particularly specialize in properties in Arkansas even though I used to have some properties there. I have one property left that I have on the market. So we get an offer from a buyer. Also they are asking for a six week closing. They check that they will be putting zero dollars down as earnest money deposit. And the way it looks on the contract if a person is looking to secure government financing they do not have to put down earnest money. They selected conventional. So the best I can tell the only person on the hook to perform on the transaction is me the seller. The offer did not include any pre approval letter from a lender or anything. Is this sort of thing normal in Arkansas where Realtor’s present offers where these potential buyers no skin in the game and no real commitment to a property? I don’t need the people’s earnest money, but if they are so committed that they will put down zero what is the likelihood of them actually following through?
