Typical Market
Typical market ranges for transactional funding across independent providers. These are broad market reference points, not averages and not a guarantee — fees and availability vary by transaction type and provider.

Who
Earnest Money Funding is for wholesalers and end buyers who need to secure a contract without tying up their own cash for the deposit. That includes wholesalers who need EMD to lock a contract before assigning or double-closing, end buyers who want to keep their cash available for closing, and investors facing a time-sensitive contract deadline where the deposit must be posted quickly.
What
Earnest Money Funding provides the earnest money deposit required to secure a purchase contract, wired directly to escrow during the refundable period. It is short-term capital repaid at closing or through the applicable refunded EMD — not a long-term loan. No credit pull is run on the current structure.
When
Use Earnest Money Funding when a contract deadline is approaching and you need EMD to lock the deal without tying up personal liquidity. It fits the moment between contract execution and closing — the window where the deposit must be posted to secure the deal but you want to preserve your cash for the closing itself.
Why
Earnest Money Funding lets you secure contracts and keep your cash available for closing, with no credit pull on the current structure. It is used instead of traditional bank financing because a conventional loan is not designed to fund a short-term refundable deposit — the timeline is too short and the purpose is wrong. Transactional EMD funding is built for exactly this: post the deposit, secure the contract, and repay from the closing or the refunded EMD.
Use cases
Process
Select your transaction type and provide the executed contracts, end-buyer proof of funds, and structure details.
We identify the appropriate funding path and provider for the transaction structure.
The provider verifies the agreement, end buyer, title/escrow setup, and structure soundness.
Fund the deposit, double close, or cash-to-close — repaid from the transaction at closing.
Underwriting
A transactional funding provider evaluates the transaction structure, not the borrower's personal credit or income. They review the executed contracts, the end buyer's ability to close (proof of funds or loan approval), the title and escrow setup, and whether the structure is sound — whether the deposit is refundable, whether the B-C buyer is funded, whether the seller carry covers the gap. Because repayment comes from the transaction itself, the credibility of the closing chain matters more than the borrower's profile. No personal credit pull is run on the current structures.

Considerations
One focused application. No cost, no obligation, and no credit pull to request your terms.
