I will gladly give you a closing cost estimate, please check my website http://www.mercurytitle.net and feel free to contact me for an estimate.

As a seller you have the right to choose which title company will close your transaction once it is under contract, by shopping around now and being proactive you will save yourself money. Instead of letting your realtor decide for you, shop around and check out a few title companies before making a decision. There are many different title companies in the area and some have higher and lower closing fees, above and beyond that, get references and check them out for your best deal to save you money at closing.

I am unable to give you an exact figure but I can make a general estimate and tell you some of the "traditional" costs. Much of it will depend on your contract.

Your biggest expense will be Title Insurance. This is your cost to insure the title to the property is free of any encumbrances before it is transferred. Title insurance will be approximately $775.00. You will also pay a search fee (approx. $35), exam fee (approx. $65) Closing fee (depends on who is closing expect anywhere from $100--$250), Doc stamp tax on deed (sales price x .0007 and rounded to nearest $100), proration of property taxes (tax bill divided by 365 multiplied by # days from 1/1 to closing.)

I think that about covers it. At least it gives you a ballpark figure. And if you agreed to pay commission to a REALTOR then you will also pay that fee (2 to 3% of the sale price is the average.)

Good luck on the sale of your home and if you need further assistance feel free to contact me.
