Greenville, SC -- Earnnest, the leading provider of digital earnest money solutions for the real estate industry, is excited to announce a new collaboration with California Regional Multiple Listing Service (CRMLS), the most recognized MLS in the United States. Launching in June 2025, Earnnest will be offered as a no-cost core product within CRMLS’s REcore dashboard, providing its extensive network of real estate professionals with access to the preferred digital earnest money solution.

This strategic collaboration puts Earnnest’s secure, streamlined payment technology among the tools that CRMLS agents use every day—eliminating the risks and inefficiencies of checks and wires in the earnest money process.

“We’re thrilled to join forces with CRMLS, an organization that shares our commitment to innovation and security in real estate,” said Russell Smith, President & COO of Earnnest. “By embedding Earnnest directly into the MLS dashboard, we’re making it easier than ever for agents to request and manage earnest money digitally, thereby saving time, reducing risk, and elevating the client experience.”

Earnnest’s platform allows real estate agents to initiate and track earnest money payments in just a few clicks, with bank-level encryption and compliance baked in. Through our combined efforts, CRMLS users will gain direct access to this functionality as part of their included suite of product solutions.

“At CRMLS, we are always seeking new ways to empower our users and offer them unrivaled value with tools to deliver faster, safer, and more modern real estate transactions,” said Art Carter, CEO of CRMLS. “Offering Earnnest as a core product aligns perfectly with that mission. We’re excited to bring this next-level convenience and security to the transaction process.”
