Apparently, some people pay for the house before they go to the closing? I got a bank check and brought it to the closing. I didn't hand over the check until the deal was done. If something had gone wrong at the closing, I wouldn't have provided the check. Also, I don't see any advantage to doing a wire transfer, if you are doing an in-person closing.
