Each cost, in plain words
- Agent pay: what you agree to pay the agents, in writing, before you list. It is always negotiable.
- Deed tax: Florida charges 70 cents per $100 of the price when a home changes owners. In Brevard County the seller usually pays it.
- Owner's title insurance: a one-time policy that protects the buyer's ownership. Florida sets the price by law. In Brevard County the seller usually pays it.
- Closing fee: what the title company charges to run the closing. It varies by company.
- Mortgage payoff: the title company pays off your loan from the sale. Ask your lender for an exact payoff amount.
