Currently in the phase of buying my first property and needed some clarification if I’m getting screwed or not I’m in Rome, Ga and that is where I’m purchasing the home it’s a flip that was a 3 bed 1 bath but has been flipped into a 4 bed 2 bath the asking price is $214,900 originally 230k but the seller wants a quick sell my agent told me we should give them the asking price and ask for them to pay 5k closing close I wanted to ask for 190k and same closing cost but agent said they wouldn’t take us serious so I agreed to agents terms as I’m signing paperwork electronically I see closing cost is 17k since seller is paying 5k brings it down too 12k but being in Georgia I am approved for Georgia dream which covers closing and some of down payment now when I sign at closing I have to pay 6k I’m wondering why is closing 17k my friend bought a property his closing cost was only 10k granted he bought his property for 189k but I feel like my agent isn’t really trying to get me a good deal should I back away from this property, find a new agent, go through with this purchase, or am I getting screwed in the process?
