Earnest Money Deposit Delivery (Choose One)
To keep your purchase on schedule, please choose one method to deliver your earnest money deposit (EMD). Your selection below will redirect you to the next step.
Option A — Drop off a check at Chicago Title (in-person)
If you choose this option, you’ll need to deliver your earnest money check within two (2) calendar days to one of the Chicago Title offices listed below (you’ll see these details again after you submit the form).
Chicago Title – Portage
941 West Milham Ave
Portage, MI 49024
Chicago Title – Kalamazoo

Option B — Electronic earnest money deposit (online)
If you choose this option, you’ll be redirected to Chicago Title’s secure website to complete the deposit electronically. There is a $15 charge for this option.
Tip: If you’re unsure which option to choose, electronic deposit is typically the fastest. If you prefer to pay by check, choose the drop-off option.
