What Closing Costs Does a Seller Pay in Texas?

Standard Texas Seller Closing Costs

Sellers typically pay 1% to 3% of the sale price in closing costs, not counting any listing commission or buyer agent compensation.

Common Seller Closing Costs

Title Insurance (Owner's Policy): 0.5% to 1% of sale price. In Texas, the seller typically pays for the owner's title policy.

Title Company Fees: $300 to $700 for escrow and closing services.

Property Tax Proration: You pay the portion of the year you owned the home.

HOA Transfer Fees: If applicable, typically $200 to $500.

Repair Credits: Any credits agreed to during inspection negotiations.

What Waymark Eliminates

The major cost Waymark eliminates is the listing agent commission — typically $8,000 to $15,000 on a Texas home sale. Waymark's flat fee ($699 or $1,199) replaces that percentage.
