Wiring directly to title

[Ofir R.]

Hi Everybody,

As part of investment in property located on Jacksonville FL, I was asked to wire the money directly to the title company from my account to the title account. Is this an acceptable procedure? Should the money be wired true a trust company?

Many Thanks!

Hi, yes, this is an acceptable practice.   Just make sure the wire info is truly from the legit  title company   There are a lot of scams happening where you wire, but it's not the actual title company's info.  When I was asked to wire, I had the title company courier over night the wire info.  If not that, talk to them on the phone and get it.  Do this instead of just an email.  I hope this helps.
