The Earnest Money Deposit simplifies the process of purchasing a home by allowing parties to securely transfer funds and documents while also verifying the borrower’s identity.
Having the capability to perform all tasks electronically offers several advantages, including time savings, reduced liability, and cost-cutting. By adopting electronic earnest money deposits, there’s no longer a necessity for wiring instructions, leading to a more secure payment process and decreased wire transfer fees. Additionally, our realtor clients will no longer be burdened with the manual delivery of earnest money checks. This change not only brings about a decrease in liability but also reduces personal expenses, providing realtors with greater peace of mind. Moreover, eliminating courier fees translates to savings for their clients, resulting in an enhanced overall home buying experience for buyers.
