Common questions
Q: How much does Earnnest cost the agent?
A: Nothing, it's FREE for the agent. Homebuyers pay a $15 processing fee (waived until May 1st), less than the cost of a wire transfer.
Q: How does Earnnest protect against fraud?
A: Earnnest is a closed network of verified escrow holders. We extensively vet each and every escrow holder who enrolls with us. When creating a payment request, only verified escrow holders can be chosen as the receiver. We also track the payment each step of the way from payment, to processing and finally as it deposits into the trust account. This closed, secure system eliminates the ability for fraud and lost payments.
Q: What benefits does Earnnest provide to real estate agents?
A: Here’s some of the benefits Earnnest provides
- Proof of Intent (copy of paper check), generated on-demand and when requested, the Proof of Intent is automatically emailed to the agent.
- Step-by-step updates on a buyer’s earnest money journey from creation of request to deposit.
- Support by email, phone and chat.
- Easy-to-use features and a completely digital process.
