Closing Costs Question

Notary Fee Free or limited by statute, $ 15 for e-recordings.My point here is regardless of who chooses the title company, IF the fees are higher then what other title companies charge, buyers should dispute the fees.In your case, since you are paying for the Owner and Lender title policy premiums, you should take this sheet, ask other title companies to beat it and if they can, tell builder that you have a new title company.Finally, I usually recommend that my Clients go with the builder's approved lenders if it is actually a good deal for them and they are not overcharged elsewhere.I'v had several experiences where the buyer's lender, unfamiliar with the builder, end of demanding to see the builder's financials/evidence they can complete the project and the builder absolutely refuses, causing an obstacle to obtaining loan approval.Good luck.

why Listing agent asked for proof of fund for higher downpayment%
5 November 2017 | 5 replies
Either figuring in closing costs, or 6-12 months of PITI left in the bank.Lenders, especially commercial lenders, want to know that you have some reserves leftover in case something happens right after you close, so you can make your payment to them.So, your broker is probably making sure that you can close the deal if you put it under contract.
