The problem

Earnest money shouldn't keep you up at night

You deserve a process you can trust, every time.

We know how much is riding on every deal. That's why Earnest Ease is bonded, insured, and records every step for 7 years.

Your simple plan

Three steps, whichever side you're on

Earnest Money Services
Three steps to a safer closing
  1. 01
    Open the deal

    You enter the property, amount, deadline, buyer and seller, and upload the contract. We check it for you and send the Strict Joint Order.

  2. 02
    Buyer pays by secure link

    Your buyer pays from their phone with a clear countdown. If they miss the deadline, you choose to reset the clock or cancel.

  3. 03
    Close or redirect with confidence

    At closing we wire to title. If plans change, we follow the signed instructions — always with two staff approvals and a date-stamped record kept 7 years.
