Learn What the Buyer & Seller Typically Pays for in Escrow Fees

When buying or selling a Clovis home, you need to focus on more than just the purchase price during negotiations.  You also need to determine what’s known as “escrow fees“.  These fees can add up to thousands of dollars so you’ll want to make sure you know what you’re paying upfront.  Most importantly, all of these fees are negotiable — until you sign the contract.  You’re stuck with the fees after that.  Find out below who typically pays for what fees and how you can save hundreds to thousands of dollars if you have a savvy Realtor …

Escrow Fees Seller Typically Pays:
· Owner’s Title Policy
· Escrow Fee is Split ½ Each
· Seller pays Documentary Transfer Tax
· Seller pay Document Preparation Fee
· Notary Fee

· Realtor Commission Fees

Escrow Fees Buyer Typically Pays:
· Lender’s Title Policy
· Escrow Fee is split ½ each
· Recording Fees
· Loan Tie Fee
· E-doc Fee

There you have it.  Now you know what’s customary in Clovis regarding escrow fees.  But since these fees are negotiable, your Realtor can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars by requesting the other side pays these fees (e.g., the Title Policy alone can be well over $1,000).
