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.
