However, your agents estimate will only be able to estimate what the taxes will be, your payoff amount will change daily and is always different from what your mortgage company tells you over the phone. Make sure to also add a little bit into your estimate for repairs. I tell sellers to always figure on $500 for repairs just in case something comes up on inspections. Also, depending on the attorney and which title company you use, those fees may change as well. University Title Company is the most expensive title company to use in town with $150 escrow fees. Aggieland is the cheapest with $95.00 escrow fees. The insurance amount will the be same everywhere as it is regulated by the state of TX.

Sellers please remember that we, as real estate agents, can only estimate, get pretty close, when figuring up all that is included in closing costs so add in a little margin for incidentals. Thanks Raylene! Good info.

It is very important to be very clear and make sure the seller understands what you are trying to convey. Great information. I use the 7% scenario for my sellers also and it works.
