Who pays escrow fees?
The allocation of escrow fees varies by transaction type and is typically determined by the purchase agreement or local custom.
In California
It's common for buyers and sellers to each pay their own escrow fees, though this can be negotiated as part of the purchase agreement. In some areas, the fee split follows local custom.
Refinance transactions
Escrow fees for refinances are typically paid by the borrower and may be included in closing costs.
Your agreement controls
The purchase agreement or escrow instructions will specify how fees are allocated for your specific transaction.
