Earnest Money Payments
The following information is specific to Earnest Money payments for Real Estate transactions only.
Earnnest
Earnnest is our preferred method of payment for Earnest Money. Earnnest is a secure, convenient digital payment platform that allows for a fully digital transfer of funds in real estate transactions. The fee Earnnest charges is comparable to a cashier’s check and less than the cost of a typical bank wire fee.
Wire
If you would like to send your earnest money via wire transfer, please call our office (phone numbers shown below) so that we can provide you with our wiring instructions.
Please Note: Your bank may charge a wire transfer fee.
Wire Policy: Exercise extreme caution when wiring funds. Wire fraud is very real. Do not wire funds to any other set of wiring instructions. Our wiring instructions do not change. If you receive wiring instructions from any other source, contact us immediately.
Prior to processing a wire, call our office using contact information found from an independent source, such as the sales contract or internet. We are not responsible for any wires sent by you to an incorrect bank account.
Personal Check
Drop off a personal check at one of our offices (please call the office to make arrangements beforehand). Make the check payable to Wessels & Gerber, P.C. and contact your real estate agent for the best drop off location. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us (phone numbers shown below).
