Default Yay, close my first deal..

So when do I get paid? lol.

New home, escrow is 3 hours away. When do they mail the check? Is it after loan is funded, or after deed is recorded?

Congratulations!

In my market (Houston, TX), you will get your commission check when the escrow has been dispersed (funded). The funder at the title company should then have a check ready for you which you can go pick up, or like I request, have it sent to my office to save a trip.

That's really good and exciting stuff. I made a photocopy of my first check and framed it. Awesome feeling huh?

Keep up the great work.

Congratulations on your first closing!

Just as an idea for everyone, we actually have our commissions wired directly into our business account now. It saves the trouble of picking up a check and we don't even have to go to the bank.

I totally photocopied a copy of my check, too... pdf'd it to myself for later viewing.

Congrats on closing the deal!
