First-time home seller, here. I’m planning on selling my house in the next couple months. We’re going to use the profits from the sales to pay off debt and make a down payment on our next house. Do the profits from house #1 go directly into my bank account at the conclusion of the sale so that I can choose how to use them myself, or do they go into some kind of escrow account where the bank holds the money? I just want to know so that I can plan accordingly for debt payments and moving expenses, and such. Thanks in advance.

When I sold my last house I was given a check for $70,000. It was about 5:30, so the banks were closed. I literally ran it through a deposited capable ATM. I was fully expecting problems, but other than the standard holds, it went right through.
