Things I have to do to buy a house???
Newbie house purchaser here. I'm trying to compile a checklist of the things I need to do to buy a house to determine my all in costs. Here's a list I have so far and general costs for buying a house in Texas.
1) Who is going to ask for these things from me?
2) how do I go about finding someone to do each of these things for me? Is my realtor supposed to help or do I google each of these things separately to find someone to do it?
Title Insurance | $2000 |
Appraisal | $400 |
Septic Inspection | $250 |
Home Inspection | $350 |
Survey | $500 |
Pest Inspection | $85 |

Yes, and if there's a lender involved, the lender will probably do the appraisal.
