Tech Nest: The Proptech Podcast

As the digital transformation continues in the real estate industry, we need to be thinking about security and safety for the consumer. One of the greatest risks to many consumers today is sending sensitive information, such as banking or payment information, through unsecure channels like email. Yet, this is the experience for the vast majority of consumers today.

Earnnest is working to change this. Chief Revenue Officer and NAR Reach Mentor, Russell Smith, joins Tech Nest: The Proptech Podcast to discuss the many issues, challenges, and opportunities in building a better way to move money. Russell's deep knowledge and expertise in fintech and the real estate industry gives him unique perspectives and valuable knowledge as to what the underlying problems are with earnest money payments, security deposits, and wire transfers.

Russell and I had a really fun time recording this episode and I think that comes through in our conversation. Listen in!
