Is earnest money still enough to prove a buyer is serious? In this episode of The Den, Ben, Paul, Shannon, and Aspen break down New Mexico’s new independent consideration requirement, what it means for real estate contracts, and why buyers and sellers need to understand how it differs from earnest money.
The hosts dig into how consideration works, why sellers may finally have a little more protection, and how buyers should think about due diligence, offer strength, contingencies, appraisal deadlines, loan estimates, and money that may go directly to the seller. This is a practical real estate conversation for buyers, sellers, Realtors, and anyone watching contract changes in the Four Corners market.
