I have the contract, the financer and the buyer...now what?
I have a great contract locked down and I have a buyer and the hml (who also wants to buy property if buyer cannot). They are both ready to give me 20,000$ for the deal.
I have until 22nd of april to lift conditions and closing is on 29th.
What next? How do I guarantee that nothing goes wrong?

Earnest money is the deposit you give with your offer to purchase a property.
