When I place my home on the market can I insist on a minimum earnest money deposit and refuse to look at any offer that does not include that minimum amount?
As a seller you can put requirements on the sale of your property, so long as those requirements do not violate statutes such as discriminatory practices. However, to protect your agent, who is normally required to show you all offers, you should put that requirement in writing. Your agent should also put that in the multiple listing service notes so that all agents are aware.
