That really depends on the convention in your community. There are three ways to handle the costs throughout the country: the seller pays; the buyer pays; the buyer and seller split the costs. In order to make the sale, you want to do what’s conventional in your area ( an escrow agent can tell you how it’s handled in your area).

Or you may want to try to negotiate splitting the costs with the buyer. Real estate expert Robert Irwin lists how you may want to split the fees.

We split the closing costs --although there were more for the buyer (typical buyer /seller costs using standard contract)
