When you are buying a home, there are plenty of costs associated with closing that have nothing to do with the actual cost of the home. These costs are generally associated with insuring, reviewing, and modifying the title of that property. The costs can be broadly called “title fees”. It’s understandable that you may have questions about all the costs associated with closing on a home, and your title company will be able to provide you with all the information you need.
What is a Title Company Settlement Fee?
The settlement fee is sometimes referred to the closing fee, and it covers costs associated with closing operations. Some title companies list out each cost, and some bucket them all in one place, so be sure you know exactly what you’re paying for. Costs bundled under the Settlement Fee may include the cost of:
- Escrow
- Survey fees
- Notary fees
- Deed prep fees
- Title search abstract fees
