Did you bought enough houses to assume that's always the case?

My experience was that I was told to send the cashier's check using overnight FedEx because they did not have office in my area.

No, fair enough. I would not close anywhere other than a local title company though. I've had a few odd things surface at the last minute that were resolvable because everyone was sitting around the same table.

Cashier's check was only accepted for amounts less than $10k at our closing by our title company. This seems common to require wire. The title company contracted with a 3rd party escrow service so the money was required into the title company's account at the escrow service. I assume a cashier's check would need to be mailed to the escrow company

3rd party. ROFLMAO.

The only method available to me at closing was a wire transfer. It is dumb.
