Hi Cydney, I would suggest you contact a title and escrow company in the area of the property.
First American Title, Chicago Title, or others, look on the web for title companies in that city.

Most of the fees are set by the state and county offices, You might also be able to find that information on the county website, . Even if it is family you are purchasing from, you will want an ESCROW company to hold your cash until any liens, back taxes, fees that are attached to the property are paid, and title to the property is properly transferred to you, then they release the monies to the seller when things are "in order". This is the service title and escrow performs in real estate transactions. It is the best source of fees etc, to be paid.

Typically these are paid by the SELLER, and the buyers fees are very minimal. it wouldnt be a bad idea to pay a Texas realtor a flat fee to represent you, and follow the transfer to escrow and closing of the property. If you already have a realtor, they should be the source of this information. Remember, the Sellers realtor represents the SELLER, not you.

Good Luck,

Might have better luck if you post your question in the Texas forum ...not Washington.
