Can I bring a personal check for closing?
If the funds you need to close is less than $1000 then you can write a personal check at closing.  If the amount is over $1000 you will need to bring certified or official bank check to closing. 
They are telling me I won't get the keys at closing. I am paying with a certified check. I have new locks. Don't need the keys. After the
closing 9-27 Can I cut the door since that one has to be replaced and put the new locks on.
