📊 What Are Closing Costs?

Closing costs are the final fees due when a real estate transaction is completed. They include lender fees, taxes, title services, and more—paid by both the buyer and seller depending on the agreement and the market.


🏡 Buyer Closing Costs in Tennessee

In Nashville and surrounding areas, buyers typically pay 2%–5% of the purchase price. For budgeting, we recommend aiming for 3–4% to stay safe.

These may include:

  • ✔️ Loan origination fees
  • ✔️ Appraisal and credit report
  • ✔️ Title insurance and escrow fees
  • ✔️ Recording fees
  • ✔️ Prepaid taxes and homeowners insurance

💡 Pro Tip: Many sellers and builders in Middle Tennessee offer closing cost credits—we negotiate these aggressively for our VIP Buyers!


🏠 Seller Closing Costs in Tennessee

Sellers usually pay 5%–8% of the sales price. The biggest chunk? Realtor commissions (often 5–6%, split between buyer and seller agents).

Other seller costs may include:

  • ✔️ Title transfer fees
  • ✔️ Property taxes (prorated)
  • ✔️ HOA transfer or estoppel fees (if applicable)
  • ✔️ Buyer concessions (if negotiated)
