Buying & Selling

The costs buyers and sellers should plan for before closing

By Donald Carrasco
The costs buyers and sellers should plan for before closing

Costs buyers should expect

Beyond the down payment, buyers typically pay for the appraisal, inspection, loan origination, title insurance, and other closing costs. These can add up to several percent of the purchase price.

Your lender's loan estimate will lay these out, and I will help you review them so there are no surprises at the table.

Costs sellers should expect

Sellers typically pay the real estate commissions, title policy, transfer taxes, and any concessions or repairs agreed to in the contract. These come out of your proceeds, which is why your net number matters.

Before you list, I will show you a clear estimate of what you would walk away with after these costs.

Plan ahead and ask questions

The key is to know these costs in advance so they do not derail your move. I will make sure you understand every line item and have a clear picture from the start.

Let us build a plan that accounts for the full picture, not just the price tag.
