Buyer asking for long closing time? Option or Earnest Better?

[Ruben Pereira]

Hi BP! Two questions, this is my second flip, completed the work in the house, I’m selling and an offer came up with $115K Total $1300 Earnest $100 Option (7 days) 45 days to closing I think it’s too long for the closing, why would a buyer want so long for closing, and which is more important to have higher Earnest or Option money? Thank you!
