How about THE FACT that you can not bring a Certified or Cashiers Check to a Florida Closing. It has to be via wire transfer. If there is one number off the possibility exist's that your money will end up in only God knows where and you will not be able to retrieve it in many cases. This was my experience anyway, yours may differ. Good Luck with to the OP with your decision.

I just bought a CYV in January and I went to my BOFA branch and got a bank check for the remaining amount after the earnest money and handed them the check at closing.. It was a resale sold by the Villages. Was actually the most organized and quickest closing I ever had.
Bought and sold several homes in Florida since 1985 and never had any issues. Several of the documents you sign are required by Florida law for a real estate transaction. The key document is the settlement statement. Its important that you understand that and do a little math. I have built 3 new homes in Florida and you will find that tract home builders will not change their contractual documents unless its in times like the last financial crisis when they 'needed' to sell 'any' homes.. In times when they are flying off the shelves like in TV they will say take it or leave it.
