Now that you understand table funding, let’s look at a common variation: getting paid by wire instead of a physical check.

Many agents prefer wiring for speed and convenience, but it requires preparation.

To receive your commission by wire, you must provide the title company with clear, written wiring instructions ahead of closing. This should be a simple, one-page document that includes:

• Bank name

• Routing number

• Account number

• Your contact information

Title companies will not accept verbal instructions at the closing table. Written documentation is required, and their team will typically call you to verify the information before sending funds.

In this video, we also cover:

• How the verification process works

• What fees to expect (if any)

• What payment methods are not accepted

Title companies do not use Zelle, PayPal, or ACH. Payment is strictly by check or wire.

If you plan ahead and submit proper instructions, getting paid by wire is simple and efficient.
