When Will I Get My Check From My Title Company

Selling a house or helping someone buy or sell their home if you are a Realtor, can be an exciting time. One of the most common questions we get from Realtors and home sellers alike is “when will I get my check?”

This is understandable as there has been a lot of work and patience to get the transaction done. Plus, who doesn’t like a payday!

When will I get paid?

We make every effort to pay all of the parties involved quickly, oftentimes the same day the transaction closes. However, this can vary based on the day or time of day the closing occurs. For example, most banks aren’t open after 5 or 6 pm and are closed on weekends.

That said, here is when you can expect to be paid for your closing or your commission if you were part of helping a transaction become a done deal:

Sellers & Realtors

If you are owed net proceeds from the sale of a house, or a Commission as Realtor, you can usually expect a check to be cut the same or next business day. Please check directly with your closing team to confirm your individual transaction-specific timeline.

Of course, if you are out of town, the check will be mailed, so estimate an extra day or two to actually receive it. Please note overnight mail typically does not deliver on weekends.
