We did a wire the day before closing during the early morning—- in case a problem occurred with the two banks there would be enough time for them to fix.

Confirm that the wiring instructions that you give your bank are the same as what you received from the developer by post (letter). There are some email scams with wires being misdirected. But don’t be afraid of wiring funds. Get the correct wiring instructions from a mailed package rather than from an email.
