Hey everyone, Raegan Thorp here with the Raegan Thorp Real Estate Group! I'm super excited to introduce Molly Sutter with Campbell and Brannon. We've been working together for years, and she’s here to help us break down the often confusing world of closing costs.

🔍 What Are Closing Costs? Closing costs can be divided into four main categories:

  • Attorney Fees: Flat fees for services like title exams.

  • County Fees: Includes deed recording and taxes.

  • Lender Fees: Covers loan origination, credit checks, appraisals.
