Earnnest, Lone Wolf expand partnership

Digital earnest money platform Earnnest is expanding its partnership with Lone Wolf, according to an announcement on Thursday.

Via this expanded partnership, Earnnest will power digital earnest money transfers across Lone Wolf’s entire transaction suite.

“Real estate professionals deserve tools they can trust – especially when it comes to handling money,” Chris Basinger, the senior vice president of growth at Earnnest, said in a statement. “We’re making digital earnest money a standard part of the transaction experience and continuing to eliminate the pain points that have held real estate back for too long.”

Earnnest integrated with Lone Wolf’s zipForm platform in 2019. However, now Earnnest’s services will be available in Lone Wolf tools like TransactionDesk and Transact, starting later this year. This will enable agents using TransactionDesk and Transact to request and receive earnest money electronically.

“We’re excited to continue making transaction management as smooth as possible for real estate professionals” Aaron Kardell, the general manager of innovation and strategic partnerships at Lone Wolf, said in a statement. “Our extended partnership with Earnnest allows us to simplify managing earnest money in a digital environment while streamlining the transaction and removing some of the long-felt pain points.”
