By submitting Earnest Money to Campbell & Brannon through this platform, I acknowledge and agree that:
My total Earnest Money is $150,000 or less.
If my Earnest Money exceeds $150,000, I will send funds by wire transfer only.

My closing is not scheduled within the next 10 days. Funds are sent via ACH transfer, not wire, and ACH credits may take up to 10 days to be available.
Funds submitted through this platform cannot be refunded for 5 days.
Campbell & Brannon reserves the right to refund Earnest Money if a complete, fully executed contract (including party contact information) is not received within two (2) days of receipt of funds or outside the contract deadline.
If I submit Earnest Money on behalf of another party, I waive all rights to the funds upon submission, including any right to notice, claim, or return of the funds.
If my closing is within 10 days, I will not use this platform, as it is not intended for immediate credit.

The timing of your earnest money payment is generally stated in your contract. In most cases, earnest money is due simultaneously with, or shortly after, the contract is signed by both buyer and seller.
Typically, earnest money is held by a third party called an “escrow agent” or “escrow holder.” The escrow holder may be a real estate office, a closing attorney’s office, or any other party designated in the contract.
Buyers may require manual verification for the following reasons:
• A buyer did not use his or her legal first or last name.
• A buyer recently moved so the system cannot match the address provided with the address on public record.
• A buyer mistyped their name, address or SSN.
• A buyer provides ITIN instead of SSN.
• A non-valid document was uploaded like an expired driver’s license, nonofficial form of ID or identification document containing a blurry photo.
No. Do not send closing funds via this platform as they will not be available in time for closing and could result in a closing delay. All closing funds over $5000 must be wired. Funds less than $5000 can also be paid by check at closing.
Most buyers will be verified by providing basic information such as:
• Last four digits of their Social Security Number (SSN)
• Current address
• Legal first and last name If the above information does not satisfy our verification score, then a buyer will provid their full SSN. For the less-than-10% of buyers whose full SSN does not satisfy the verification process, our system will ask for a valid form of identification. These are: U.S. passport, State-issued I.D, U.S. driver’s license Finally, if automatic verification is not possible we can manually verify.
