A REALTOR® should provide you with a Buyer’s Net Sheet, which will include down payment money, title search, recording fees, etc. This should give you a good idea of your money outlay. Each home purchase/sale is different.

So...who pays the REALTOR® fees? Normally the seller pays the REALTOR®’s fees associated with selling the home. The seller pays the REALTOR®’s brokerage and the brokerage distributes the earned commission to all the parties involved, which generally includes the buyer’s agent.
