Here's a riddle for you....
Q: How can a home buyer go through the entire home-purchase process: make a satisfactory offer; have a satisfactory inspection; receive a motgage committment and attend a closing, but not wind up with a home? A: By not knowing that there are closing costs that are due... at the closing. To prevent all of the work and none of the payoff, as well as having a furious client, it is so important to tell your clients what to expect from the process... beginning to end... The following is a list of cost that I found on an attorney's web site of what to expect at closing: Attorney fee.. $700.00 Title Search and Review.. $150.00 Courier Fee.. $ 36.00 Recording Fee.. $190.00 Title Insurance(Owner Policy).. $1050.00 Homeowners Insurance (Unless Condo).. $900.00 Year must be paid ahead and in full Town or City Taxes.. $2625.00 If taxes are due within 60 days of closing Apportionment-Oil or Propane.. $380.00 If there is oil or propane at the residence Apportionment-Taxes.. $0.00 Take Yearly Taxes and divide by 365, then Multiply by number of days till taxes are due. For example; Closing is 12/1/2010 and taxes are $5,250.00. $5,250/365= $14.38 ... more
