Septic systems are one of the most misunderstood—and most likely to derail—a real estate transaction. This month's Busines Builder speaker, Rob from SepticRooter will walk agents through how septic systems actually work, what commonly goes wrong during inspections, and how to navigate repairs and negotiations without losing momentum. You’ll learn how to spot red flags early, set proper expectations with clients, and confidently guide your deals to closing. This is a practical, real-world look at septic from the perspective of someone who handles these issues every day in the field.

šŸ’° Earnest Money in Georgia: What Every Agent Needs to Know

Earnest money questions come up in almost every transaction—and misunderstanding it can cost your clients BIG. Here’s a quick breakdown to keep you (and your deals) protected šŸ‘‡

šŸ”‘ What is Earnest Money?
A good-faith deposit that shows a buyer is serious—and it’s applied toward closing costs at the end of the deal.
šŸ“Š How Much is Typical?
Usually 1%–3% of the purchase price (but always negotiable depending on the market).
ā° When is it Due?
Per the contract—typically within 24–72 hours after binding agreement. Missing this deadline can put your buyer in default.
šŸ¦ Who Holds It?
A neutral third party (brokerage or closing attorney) in an escrow account.
ā“ When Does the Buyer Get it Back?
When they terminate under a valid contingency (due diligence/inspection, financing, appraisal, etc.) and within deadlines.
āš ļø When Does the Seller Keep It?
If the buyer defaults (terminates or fails to close without a valid reason), the earnest money may be kept by the Seller as liquidated damages.
🚫 Can Funds Be Released Without Agreement of Both Parties?
Yes. Although the contract typically requires mutual agreement or a court order, the contract may allow the Holder of the funds to make a ā€œreasonable interpretationā€ of the Contract, and send a letter to all parties who have the opportunity to object. If no valid objections are received, the Holder may then release the funds.
šŸ”„ Top Mistakes to Avoid:
• Missing deadlines
• Assuming earnest money is automatically refundable
• Not understanding contingencies
• Failing to confirm the deposit was made

šŸ’” Bottom Line:
In Georgia, earnest money isn’t just about the deposit—it’s about the contract terms that control it.

šŸ“£ Make sure your clients understand the details before they sign—because that’s where deals are won or lost.
