What's in the closing costs?
I bought a place before and feel like I paid a bunch of money for closing costs, but didn't know what it was for. I'm hoping to sell and buy a different place this spring, but I want to understand what I need to pay and make sure I have enough money for it.

Hi Henry! Both buyers and sellers have closings costs. When you purchase a home, your closing costs are usually between 3-5% of the purchase price and consist of lender fees (application fee, appraisal fee, origination fees), escrow fees, HOA dues, insurance, etc. As a seller, you are usually responsible for the Title Policy (.5-1% of the purchase price), plus the agent commissions. I hope this helps!

If I sell my home, will my boyfriend receive part of the sale?
I wanted some clarification before deciding to put my home on the market. My boyfriend and I purchased a home together several years ago. We split up so he signed a quitclaim deed but is obviously still on the loan. If I want to sell my home that I have been making payments on myself for the last 8 years. Does he need to sign anything and would he be entitled to any of the sale money?
