I think the reason I questioned was cause there was mention about you transferring the title to the name "before " the money would be paid to you.

If you assume that the domain name represents an asset, like a car or house for instance, when a transfer is made the contracts are exchanged simultaneously and the money is transferred at the same time.

The danger being, if you release title to the name, without receiving the money upon transfer, the purchaser could then dissapear

Anyway, good luck with the sale
