Non-recurring (one-time expense) Closing Cost: “WIRE TRANSFER” Fees.
Wire transfers are instantaneous. As a buyer, you may be asked to wire the closing cost (minus the earnest money) to the escrow company.
A wire transfer doesn’t have to cost money. If you have the right bank account at the right place, you get free wire transfers.
