transfer

I am purchasing an existing domain from the owner who has it registered with GoDaddy.

I want to transfer the domain to another registrar and of course have it under my name.

If they update the registrant info to my name then it will lock down for 60 days. That's no good.

If they simply transfer it to my registrar, how will they update the registrant info?

I know about escrow services, but I don't feel I need one because I trust the seller and the amount is (relatively) small.

Advice? Thanks!
