Please help with my cash sale closing costs - details and numbers inside.
I'm closing on an $18,000 house in a week and they sent me the following as an estimate for closing. It seems too high based on what I have read here but I don't know what all to cut out.
Title Insurance plus Binder Fee - $74
Wood Infestation Report - $100
Appraisal Fee (wtf) $425
Title Search Fee $175
Attorney Fee/Title Examination $500-650
Deed Recording $57
State Tax $82
Total is $1,562 which is much higher than the $500-$600 I see quoted around here. What can I cut besides the appraisal fee?
Thanks
