Next step after offer is accepted

[Alvaro Rodriguez]

I am in the process of buying a house. Offered got accepted, house inspected and now we are going through the process until closing date.

A series of fees have arrived to me asking to be paid right away if I don't want to delay the process. $650 to request an appraisal on the house, a day later $170 to request an HOA statement.

These came from the lender and the title company. I would like to know if this is normal in a process, I thought this was all paid at closing. Is there anything else anyone has seen that has to be paid before closing?

Any feedback of greatly appreciated, I don’t like getting emails to pay hundreds of dollars working 24hr

Thank you
