What is the closing process and closing costs?

The closing process is the final step in transferring ownership of your home. Closing costs for sellers typically include agent commissions, title transfer fees, attorney fees, and prorated taxes. These costs can range from 6% to 10% of the sale price, depending on the transaction and negotiated terms.

During closing, the seller signs documents transferring property ownership, pays agreed-upon fees, and receives proceeds from the sale. A title company or real estate attorney ensures all paperwork is accurate, fees are paid, and the buyer’s lender funds the purchase. Being prepared for closing reduces delays and ensures a smooth, legally compliant transaction.
