It also depends on how soon the bank will make the funds available to you. Most banks will sit on deposits over a certain $$ amount before releasing those funds.
In my state of Florida, a check or a direct deposit is provided to the seller on the day of closing under normal circumstances.
In the cases of walking away with a check - be aware that a check of a large sum will take several days to clear when you deposit it. They may give you a portion up front ($1000) but the rest will take a while to actually make it into your account.
Have the closing company/attorney/title company wire your funds.to your account. That's the fastest way to access your funds. That way, depending on the time of day you close, you may have it the same day.
