"We moved to the Cincinnati area from another state and were lucky enough to find Clarence Sharp early on in our move process. Clarence was proactive in helping us with the decisions and information vital to our successful purpose. The entire process was pain free and we felt like we were always informed, usually ahead of the game. We love our new home, and express thanks to Clarence and the rest of the team for making our move as pleasant and pain free as possible. We'll be recommending Clarence to all our friends and business associates."

Making An Offer >Good Faith Deposits
After many months of searching, you have found your ideal house. You are a little older and a little wiser now, so you want to give the impression that you are serious without appearing to be too eager. What should you do? In the marketplace, "money talks."
There is no absolute rule about how much "good-faith" deposit you should put down--but it is a tool to make your point with the seller. The typical $1,000 will hold many homes for you, except in larger-home markets where it may be critical for you to show that you are an especially serious and able buyer. You don't want to make a deposit that is too large in case there is a problem getting your money back, but if your offer is substantially below the asking price, a larger deposit--$5,000 or $10,000--might influence the seller.
If you make a low deposit with your offer, be sure to provide for an increased deposit when the offer is accepted or upon removal of the contingencies.
