Help making sense of estimate

Hello, 

A few months ago I wrote about how I was done procrastinating and ready to get in the game. Since then I have been viewing properties and today I saw one that I thing the numbers might make sense and I am ready to make an offer. I asked a lender to run an estimate for me and I was shocked at the amount of fees that I need to pay. Obviously I am a newbie in the game and I do have that newbie skepticism and always feel like I am being ripped off ( has happened many times before). Is accurate ( please see below). Is there some that I can remove or put into the monthly payment or get some kind of seller concession for? Please help me make sense of it. 

The property is 450K. I am putting 20 % down ( 90K) but I see there is about 27K in fees and closing cost. Also interest rate has gone slightly down but I am getting an 8.8 % interest rate with credit score of 734.

Welcome to real estate investing!

It's the same as an airplane ticket or phone bill. You are quoted one price, then they tack on all the fees.
