Real Estate

Deposits and closing funds, held exactly to contract.

Real estate transactions already involve escrow — NEFIMS gives buyers, sellers, and agents a transparent, real-time view into exactly when funds are held, confirmed, and released relative to the terms of the purchase agreement.

Why It Matters

Where real estate deals lose trust.

Buyers can't verify deposit funds are actually held

Real-time confirmation is visible to buyer, seller, and agent simultaneously.

"Where is my closing money" phone calls

Status updates replace phone tag — everyone sees the same transaction state.

Disputes over contingencies stall closings

Structured terms tied to contingency deadlines keep the timeline enforceable.

The Process

Aligned to your purchase agreement, not a separate process.

Step 1

Link the purchase agreement

Contingency deadlines and deposit amounts are entered directly from the signed contract.

Step 2

Deposit & closing funds held

Both are confirmed and held, visible to all parties including the agent or attorney of record.

Step 3

Release at closing

Funds release per the agreement once closing conditions are satisfied.

Fees for Real Estate

What it costs

Flat $150–$450 depending on transaction size.

Pricing is structured for closing-cost transparency, not a percentage of the home's sale price.

Our buyer's agent had never used a platform where both sides could see the deposit status in real time. It cut out three separate 'has it cleared yet' calls.

Common Questions

Before you start

Yes — invite any party who needs visibility. NEFIMS staff only access records for support or compliance purposes.

Funds stay held per the agreement terms until the contingency is resolved or the deal is formally terminated.

It can complement or, depending on your state and transaction, serve as the primary escrow — discuss with your agent or attorney.

Give everyone in the deal the same view of the money.
