I don't know what you mean by "hardly any earnest money". But, as a seller, I wouldn't accept an offer and take my house off the market unless the offer included at least $10,000 in earnest money. The earnest money is put into an escrow account, and it is only forfeited if the buyer violates the sales contract.
