You have to explain anything, but that's my opinion. That it the typical deposit for MLS properties, unless they are reos and then they want more. If they really wanna know, just tell them you make several offers, and you can't tie up that much money when either one or all your offers may or may not be accepted. If you did that to every offer, you would go broke. Somebody on here explained it something like that.
