Another question. Has anyone that has closed escrow within the last 6 months been told that they couldn't bring a cashier's check to closing? Instead, the title company only took wire transfers? I ask bc my agent is telling me that the industry standard is to only accept wire transfers instead of cashier's checks.
Starting Score: EX 575/TU 534/EQ 570
The title company told me that I could write a personal check since the amount I owed was less than $500. I did see a sign posted while I was at the title company for closing and it said, "amounts of $25,000 or greater require a wire transfer".
How much are you thinking you will have to bring to closing?

I'm going to have to bring somewhere around $2,300 to closing give or take $100.
For that amount, you should just be able to get a cashier's check but as JM-AM mentioned, it depends on the rules of your particular title company.
