ANTICIPATED BUYER COSTS

Who pays what varies by city and county ordinances as well as standard practices. Please note that these are "customary" costs and all fees charged are governed by terms of the sales contract and other written escrow instructions. As your real estate broker, I will see to it that we minimize these fees by using vendors/affiliates that have the same cost conscious approach as we do.

  • Title insurance policy premiums
    (lender's and owner’s)

  • Escrow fees
  • Notary fees
  • Property tax pro-ration
