  How to avoid bank fees   The average bank fee for overdraft protection is $33. Make the mistake of not having enough money in your account when you write a check or buy something with a debit card, and you could pay a few hundred dollars in a year if you’re really forgetful.   Big and small banks make money off big and small fees on checking and savings accounts, sometimes as small as a buck or so. The national average out-of-network withdrawal fee for using an ATM outside of your bank’s network is $1.67, according to a survey by Bankrate.   Here are some ways to avoid the above fees and others that banks commonly charge: Overdraft Fees Also called “nonsufficient funds,” or NSF for short, overdraft fees changed after the financial crisis, with new rules requiring customers to opt in for overdraft protection instead of being given it automatically.   Overdraft protection pays a transaction if an account is overdrawn, and banks charge fees until the customer dep...

What is Earnest Money?

  What Is Earnest Money What is earnest money and how does it work? Earnest money is a deposit that is made by a homebuyer to demonstrate to the seller that they are serious about purchasing the property.  The amount of earnest money can vary, but it is typically a small percentage of the purchase price. When a homebuyer makes an offer on a property, they will typically include a check for the earnest money deposit along with the offer.  If the seller accepts the offer, the earnest money will be held in escrow until the sale is complete.  At that point, the earnest money will be applied to the purchase price of the home. If the sale falls through, the disposition of the earnest money will depend on the terms of the purchase agreement.  In some cases, the earnest money may be returned to the buyer, while in other cases it may be forfeited to the seller. The purpose of earnest money is to provide the seller with some assurance that the buyer is serious about the p...

  How to choose a Real Estate agent  There are a few things you can do to find a good real estate agent: Get recommendations from friends, family, or colleagues who have recently bought or sold a home. Research agents online and look for reviews or testimonials from past clients. Look for an agent who is knowledgeable about the area where you are looking to buy or sell. Choose an agent who is responsive to your needs and communication style. Consider an agent's experience and track record in the industry. Look for an agent who is a good negotiator and can advocate for your interests. It's also a good idea to meet with a few different agents before making a decision, and to ask them questions about their experience, approach, and how they plan to handle your transaction.
