Interesting to see how different it is compared to where I work.  Why do both the buyer and seller get charged for "owner's policy"?  In CA, the buyer pays for a title policy that covers their lender, and pays for a second policy to cover themselves once the loan is paid off.  Usually the 2nd policy is half price.

Amanda - It is important to know that some of these fees can be negotiated, and either paid by the buyer or seller.
