Congratulations on selling your home swiftly and for a price that exceeds expectations! While you eagerly anticipate the influx of cash into your bank account, the process isn't as immediate as you might hope. From the earnest money deposit to the final wire transfer, navigating the transaction journey involves various steps and safeguards for both parties.
How It Works
Initially, buyers typically submit an earnest money deposit, signifying their commitment to the purchase and ensuring they have the financial backing to proceed. However, this sum is held by a neutral third party until closing day, serving as a safeguard in case of contract complications or unforeseen issues.
As a seller, you'll need to exercise patience as the transaction progresses through inspections, repairs, disclosures, and contingencies. The closing process, which tends to be around 30 days in San Diego, culminates in the transfer of funds and the exchange of keys on closing day.
On this long-awaited day, the buyers finalize their down payment and cover closing costs, while escrow disburses the remaining purchase price to you. While wire transfers offer a swift payment method, it's crucial to remain vigilant against wire fraud by utilizing secure communication channels and verifying banking information directly with the title company.
