Closing Costs

Understanding Closing Costs

Closing costs are an essential part of buying or selling a home. These fees cover the expenses associated with finalizing the real estate transaction, and knowing what to expect can help you prepare and budget effectively. At Gregory Gray Realtor, I’m here to guide you through every detail of closing costs so you can move forward with confidence.

How Much Are Closing Costs?

Closing costs typically range from 2% to 5% of the home’s purchase price, depending on factors like property location, loan type, and other variables. Whether you’re buying or selling, I’ll provide a detailed breakdown of the costs so you’re never caught off guard.

Closing costs are a combination of fees and charges that occur during the final stages of a property sale. They typically include:

Lender Fees: Charges for loan origination, application, and underwriting.
Title and Escrow Fees: Costs for title search, title insurance, and escrow services to ensure the property’s legal ownership.
Taxes and Recording Fees: Local government charges for property taxes, recording the deed, and other administrative expenses.
Inspection and Appraisal Fees: Fees for professional evaluations of the home’s condition and value.
Realtor Commissions: Payment for services rendered by the buyer’s and seller’s agents.
