Meet The Closing Agent
The Closing Agent is a Florida title insurance agency serving buyers, sellers and real estate professionals. Its team provides title, escrow and closing services, and its own interactive tool helps you explore preliminary closing expenses before you reach the closing table.
This calculator and the estimates it produces belong to The Closing Agent, not David Dorman. I’m pleased to make their resource easy to find as part of my seller education tools.
The basics
What is title insurance?
Title insurance helps protect against certain problems with a property's ownership history, including undiscovered liens, errors in public records, and competing ownership claims. Unlike most insurance policies, it addresses covered title issues that generally arose before the policy was issued.
In Florida, a real estate closing may involve an owner's policy to protect the buyer and a lender's policy when the buyer finances the purchase. Who pays for these costs can depend on local custom and the terms negotiated in the contract.
Planning ahead
What costs should a Florida seller expect?
Transfer taxes & adjustments
Florida documentary stamp taxes on deeds, property tax prorations, HOA balances, and other applicable adjustments.
Payoffs & negotiated costs
Mortgage or lien payoffs, brokerage compensation, concessions, repairs, and any other negotiated seller expenses.
Interactive closing cost estimator
Calculate your estimated closing costs
Use The Closing Agent's tool below to prepare a preliminary title and closing estimate. For a clearer picture of what you'll walk away with, choose the seller net estimate option if offered in the calculator.
These figures are preliminary estimates, not a final settlement statement, guaranteed quote, or legal or tax advice. Actual charges and who pays them depend on the signed contract, location, title requirements, financing, taxes, and transaction details. The calculator is provided by an independent third party; information entered into it is processed by that provider.
