Description
When buying residential real estate, the buyer typically faces closing costs that can range from about 1% to 3% of the sale price of the home. We auto-populate this field at 3%, but you can enter a more accurate value. Here’s a breakdown of common buyer closing costs:
Loan Origination Fees: Charged by the lender for processing the loan, usually around 0.5% to 1% of the loan amount.
Appraisal Fee: Typically $300 to $600, depending on the property size and location.
Home Inspection Fee: Usually $300 to $500 for a standard inspection, with additional costs for specialized inspections.
Title Search and Title Insurance: Costs for searching the property’s title and insuring it, which can be around 0.5% to 1% of the purchase price.
Attorney Fees: If applicable, these can range from $500 to $1,500 or more, depending on your location and the complexity of the transaction.
Escrow Fees: Charged by the escrow company or closing agent, usually split between the buyer and seller, and can range from $500 to $1,000.
Recording Fees: Charged by your local government for recording the new deed, typically ranging from $50 to $150.
Transfer Taxes: Some areas impose taxes on the transfer of property, which can vary widely.
Prepaid Costs: These can include property taxes and homeowners insurance premiums paid in advance.
Miscellaneous Fees: Such as courier fees, notary fees, and document preparation fees.
Always review a detailed estimate provided by your lender or closing agent to understand the specific costs you'll encounter in your area.
When selling residential real estate, the seller typically faces closing costs that can range from about 1% to 3% of the sale price of the home. We auto-populate this field at 3%, but you can enter a more accurate value. Here’s a breakdown of common seller closing costs:
Real Estate Agent Commissions: This is usually the largest cost for sellers. Agent commissions typically range from 5% to 6% of the sale price, which is often split between the buyer’s and seller’s agents.
Title Insurance: The seller usually pays for the buyer's title insurance policy, which protects the buyer against any title issues. This can cost about 0.5% to 1% of the sale price.
Transfer Taxes: Some states or local governments impose transfer taxes on the sale of property. These can vary widely by location but typically range from 0.1% to 2% of the sale price.
Escrow Fees: The escrow company or closing agent may charge fees for their services, which are sometimes split between the buyer and seller. These fees typically range from $500 to $1,000.
Outstanding Liens or Property Taxes: If there are any unpaid liens, property taxes, or homeowner association dues, these will need to be settled at closing.
Repairs and Credits: Sellers may agree to cover certain repair costs or provide credits to the buyer for repairs discovered during inspections.
Recording Fees: Fees for recording the sale with the local government, which can be around $50 to $150.
Attorney Fees: If you use a real estate attorney, their fees could range from $500 to $1,500 or more, depending on the complexity of the transaction and local rates.
Document Preparation Fees: For preparing and notarizing necessary documents, usually a few hundred dollars.
HOA Transfer Fees: If the property is part of a homeowner association, there may be fees associated with transferring ownership and providing necessary documentation.
It's a good idea to review the settlement statement provided by your escrow or closing agent to get a detailed estimate of your specific closing costs.
Including your credit score with an offer to purchase a property can be particularly important for several reasons:
Strengthening Your Offer: Providing these vital pieces of information can make your offer more compelling to sellers and real estate agents. A high credit score signals financial stability and reliability, which can make you a more attractive buyer compared to others who might not provide this information.
Proof of Financial Stability: Employment verification provides evidence of your current income and job stability. It reassures sellers and lenders that you have a steady income, which is crucial for securing a mortgage and completing the purchase.
Facilitating the Process: Sharing your information up front can streamline the buying process. Sellers and real estate agents may use it to assess your financial readiness and seriousness, potentially speeding up the negotiation and approval process.
Improving Negotiation Leverage: A strong credit score might give you leverage in negotiating terms. Sellers may be more willing to entertain your offer or negotiate on price if they know you have a solid credit history, as it suggests you’re more likely to secure financing and close the deal.
Reducing Seller’s Risk: From the seller’s perspective, knowing your credit score, current employment verification, background check, etc. can reduce their risk. A high credit score and an impressive employment verification can suggest you’re more likely to get a mortgage approval and follow through with the purchase, which can be reassuring for sellers who want to avoid deals falling through.
Expediting Mortgage Approval: If you provide your financial information with the offer, it can potentially expedite the mortgage approval process. Lenders can quickly assess your creditworthiness and may process your mortgage application faster, helping you to close on the property more swiftly.
Avoiding Surprises: By including your information, you prevent surprises during the mortgage approval and purchase process. Sellers and agents won’t have to wait for this critical piece of information, which could otherwise delay proceedings or impact the outcome of the sale.
In essence, sending your credit score with your property offer can demonstrate your financial credibility, expedite the buying process, and enhance your position in negotiations.

ABS Credit Required
To protect buyers from fraudulent seller listings and/or counteroffers, sellers require a non-refundable ABS Credit to either submit a counteroffer or accept an offer from a buyer.
Please note that once an offer is accepted,
the ABS Credit is applied and becomes non-refundable.
Even if the sale does not proceed due to contingencies or other reasons from either party,
the ABS Credit will not be returned to your account.
A new ABS Credit must be purchased to accept another offer.
This measure is in place to ensure that both buyers and sellers have “skin in the game,” encouraging good-faith negotiations and a commitment to completing the sale.

Even if you ultimately do not proceed with the purchase due to contingencies or other reasons by either party,
the ABS credit will not be returned to your account. This measure is in place to ensure that both buyers and sellers have "skin in the game" so they negotiate in good faith and complete the sale. However,
