Hi BP Nation, 

I am looking for some advise on who pays for title company charges in the state of NJ. I am the buyer of a property in NJ and have a property under contract. The standard Realtor contract that my agent prepared has the following clause in line 502-503

Adjustments at Closing

"Seller shall pay for the preparation of the Deed, realty transfer fee, lien discharge fees, if any, and one-half of the title company charges for disbursements and attendance allowed by the Commissioner of Insurance; "

In attorney review. The seller's attorney provide the following comment

"Delete "and one-half of the title company charges for disbursements and attendance allowed by Commissioner of Insurance"

The seller's attorney said that her client does not plan to attend settlement and plan to overnight and FedEx signatures one day prior to closing. She also said that its unfair to ask the seller to pay for the buyer's settlement agent cost. Is removal of this language standard in the contracts that you prepare? Is this a point worth walking away from the property? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. We are looking to conclude attorney review today. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks

@Giovanni Maggipinto thanks for the info. Appreciate all the help

@Giovanni Maggipinto thanks for the info. I wish there was a online program. How much did you pay through Weichert for the class?

@Wayne Brooks any nationally recognized training school that you could recommend? Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Anyone know of a company that provides training to become a licensed real estate agent online? Looking to become a real estate agent in NJ

Hello BP nation, 

I am looking to purchase 6 pieces of Limestone sized 87 inches by 12 inches near columbia Maryland. My handyman / contractor said that he is not looking for real stone but Limestone. Its supposed to cost around $50 (plus or minus). I called Home Depot and Lowe's and they both do not carry Limestone. The purpose of the Limestone is to install it on the exterior steps of a property that I am renovating. Any help that you can provide will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks

@Mala S. Looks like fantastic renovation... was this in Weehawken or North Bergen? Overall looks fantastic. How much did you spend on the kitchen cabinets? And where did you purchase the counter tops... I really like the way you have the stacked washer dryer... looks very clean.

@Ray Harrell thanks for the great advice. Is it ok for me to type up a letter with the above and have her sign it or does she need to write it herself. I don't think she can write properly and I am afraid that if I wait around for her to craft such a letter, it will be ages before she gets her **** together to write a letter. I think it will be easy for me to write a letter on her behalf and have the real estate agent get her to sign / notarize it. Wanted to run it by folks to see if this will be viewed as collusion / conspiracy

@Dennis M. I appreciate all of the advice you as well as other members in the community are providing. You all are speaking from years of experience and I am just getting started. I am going to start the 5 day notice and hire the attorney. As @Andrew B. mentioned, its important to file is correctly

@Nancy P. she asked if I could give her the deposit back and I don't feel comfortable with that... I am afraid if I give her the $$$, she is going to spend it and still not move out. I am going to get housing involved, maybe they can help her with the deposit and get reimbursed by me when she vacates.
