If you like the security of paper rather than a wire, getting a cashier's check from the bank is the way to go. A wire transfer is not hard if you follow the instructions given to you from the escrow/title company and make sure your bank follows those instructions. A wire transfer is easy and fast (most of the time) but there is a greater fee to wire transfer than to obtaining a cashier's check. Following the instructions of the title company can help you avoid fraud.
