Closing the deal
Vapor Trail never holds or transmits funds for a transaction. For a purchase this size, we recommend using a licensed third-party escrow service such as Aero-Space Reports rather than wiring funds directly — Vapor Trail has no financial relationship with any escrow provider and receives nothing from this referral.
Once a listing is under contract, staff can confirm the closing wire instructions directly with the title/escrow company by phone and post them in your Vapor Trail message thread as a second channel to check email instructions against — never a replacement for confirming with the title company yourself.
