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
