What are closing costs when selling?
By Glenn Wegner, Lone Star Realty, Keller, TX Last reviewed: October 6, 2026
Sellers typically pay agent fees, a title policy charge in most Texas contracts, any loan payoff and prorated taxes, and any repairs or concessions agreed in the contract. My professional fee is 3% to 4%, depending on the complexity of the transaction and the work involved. It's negotiable, and we agree on it in writing before I list your home. I run multiple net sheets throughout a deal, so you know your proceeds as the contract changes. I use a title company app with calculators for holding costs and net proceeds, so you're comfortable with the financial side of your sale.
