Closing Costs for Buyers

When buying a home, there are a variety of fees and expenses to be paid at the time of closing. Your Realtor can provide you with a general estimation of costs.  However, the title company or closing agent will provide you with the final itemized settlement statement.  Here are a few common closing costs to look for:
  • Deed recording
  • State deed tax stamps
  • Recording fees
  • Home inspection costs
  • Survey costs
  • Proration of taxes, utility, garbage, etc.
  • Water transfer fees
  • Settlement fees
  • Document preparation & review fees
  • Mortgage related fees ~ loan origination, points, private mortgage insurance premium, insurance escrow for homeowner's insurance, property tax escrow, appraisal, credit report
  • Title insurance, however, in the state of FL the seller is usually responsible for this charge
