selling and reviewing escrow fees

Account Closed
Posted

I am selling a condo in San Diego and will be going over the estimated escrow statement this afternoon.  
I know there are bunch of line items and I will have to familiarize myself with the closing costs.  

Asking for some insights on what to question/get lower on the escrow fees.

Also, looking at the capital gains, the choices are 12.3% of the net gain or 3.3% of the purchase price.  I do not plan to buy another property.
I bought it for $379k and put $100k into it so the basis is $479.  

12.3% of net gain (net gain is $266,000) = $32,718

I'm selling it for $745k.
3.3% of selling price 745k=$24,585

So it looks like I should go with 3.3% of 745k=$24,585 for capital gains.
