When it comes to closing costs in San Mateo County, deciding who pays what can be similar to a first date. Whether it is your initial contract submission or when the waitress places the bill on the table, your actions can drastically affect the outcome at the end of the night. You ultimately have three choices:

• Reach for the bill (pay the customary buyer paid closing costs)
• Whip out the calculator and go dutch (split the closing costs or pay what you see as acceptable)
• Ignore the bill on the table and wait for your date’s move (throw the closing costs in the seller’s lap)
