Settlement fees are fixed, meaning they will not change regardless of the purchase price of your home, but they are not the only fees associated with closing costs.

In addition to settlement fees, consumers must also pay transfer & recordation taxes (buyer & seller, respectively) and a title insurance policy premium. These costs are variable, dependent on the purchase price of your home.

By law, it is the buyer's right to choose what title company handles their closing. A little shopping can save a homebuyer thousands of dollars.

We encourage you to grab a Quick Quote today for an accurate and anonymous estimate of how much money you will need to bring to the closing table.
