We launched EasyFund to help our legal community with one of the tasks they find onerous and time consuming—funding deals and completing payouts by cheque. EasyFund is a secure online service that offers legal professionals the ability to safely manage the transfer of real estate closing funds and complete payouts without leaving the office. EasyFund eliminates the need for certified cheques, bank drafts, direct deposits and couriers.
Our customers have seen a noticeable difference in their real estate transactions since launch. Here’s what a few of them have to say about how EasyFund benefits them:
It saves time and money
“We spend less time writing out cheque requisitions and cheques; there’s no more typing out letters and arranging couriers. Even our courier charges are down.” – Maria O. Cabral, Legal Assistant, Randall A. Longfield Professional Corporation
They don’t have to leave the office on closing days
“I can accomplish a lot more as I can complete an entire deal without leaving the office. EasyFund makes closing days a lot less stressful. Also, many banks are changing to electronic services only, making it harder to make payouts at local branches.” – Heather Rowles, Legal Assistant, McSevney Ebben LLP
They receive great customer service
“Initially, we were concerned that mortgages and debts would not be paid on time and there would be no record of payments. However, the EasyFund team answers any and all inquiries quickly and the system allows us to download payment letters to reassure clients payment has been made. It’s great that copies of cashed cheques can be obtained so quickly.” – Nancy Kitney, Law Clerk, Bates Law, Barristers & Solicitors
