Wire Transfer
A wire transfer is an electronic, bank-to-bank funds transfer that settles same-day for domestic transfers and is the standard mechanism for moving large sums in real estate transactions. Wires are irrevocable once sent — there's no chargeback, which is why wire fraud in real estate is a meaningful risk.
Closing wires typically move: the buyer's cash to close (down payment + closing costs), the lender's loan proceeds, and the seller's net payout. Each direction is verified through standard banking channels with multiple confirmation steps.
