30 yr retired banker. If a bank calls a large bank to verify a certified or cashier check, the bank will say they are unable to verify anything other than the routing number of the check. Checks are easily forged. You should have offered to meet him with cash if he would send a copy of the title.
Once money is wired, it is gone and you can not get it back. Checks have caused problems for a number of yrs. i wouldn't take one from anybody.
